2007 Toyota AFL Grand Final - Geelong Cats Vs Port Adelaide Power

[jenny61_99]

5 points is not near?

5 pts may have well been 500! Same result in the end.

 

[scoastpower]

Cats will destroy the power, no team is near the cats, this game will be a blowout, expect a 50 point + win for the cats.

let me see... which team was the last team to beat geelong..? oh look! it's the power!

the cats didn't dominate on friday night. they're no certainties on saturday. favourites yes. certainties no.

 

[BWST]

My thoughts are, if we win, it will be a close one.

If we lose, it will be by a considerable margin.

I'm thinking Choco and the boys will have a few tricks up the sleeve. Port Adelaide by 9 points.

 

[admiral]

Geelong will win by 16 goals,an in form Collingwood were their only danger, Port Adelaide will do a 'North'. Cats fan can start celebrating today because this is not going to be a St Kilda repeat.

I think this will be a ripper

Geelong by 12

Toyota?

We aren't part of AFL.com.au yet...

Go and do your research dh.

Oh and I am tipping Geelong.

 

[Quinz]

Geelong to win by 23 point IMO.

[nick_savo]

Geelong to win by 16
Going to be a ripping match!

 

[SouthSwans]

Port by 5 points

Ebert winning goal after siren

Rodan for Norm Smith

Brent Harvey for Brownlow

Coburg VFL winners

Judd to Collingwood

Storm for NRL Premiers

Shaun Tait for Allan Border Medal

Chas Licciardello for PM.

 

[dA Crow]

I reckon Port by a couple of goals. Cat deserve the cup more that any team this season, but Ports have 12 players with the big day in September experience.

 

[Stants_24_Legend]

GO CATTERS!!!!

Joel Selwood for Norm Smith

 

[PHX]

I'll be going for the Catters minus Ottens.

But will be strongly supporting Rodan, would love to see him get a medallion.

 

[carntheroos4eva]

Tipping the cats.

I reckon that Port are too cocky and too arrogant.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

let me see... which team was the last team to beat geelong..? oh look! it's the power!

the cats didn't dominate on friday night. they're no certainties on saturday. favourites yes. certainties no.

Not according to The Age, who reckoned on Saturday that the Cats already have the flag in the bag.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

PLEASE win cats. Anyone but Port.

DONT CHOKE!!!!!

 

[blue & gold forever]

In what should be a cracking grand final i hope the CATS win it and win well... I hate Port s**t... Geelong have been the best side all year and deserve to win it....

Tip: Geelong by 9pts

Norm Smith: Jimmy Bartel.. Love ya work Jimmy... Good luck to the PERTH boi Joel Corey

Coburg VFL winners

great start

 

[Abson]

As a lifetime, (I'm 29), Cats supporter, I want nothing more than my beloved team to finally win the big one. Unfortunately though, I think they'll crack under the pressure and lose yet again. It isn't that I don't think they can't beat Port, they can, and if this wasn't a grand final, they would, but something tells me this year isn't going to be any different to the previous Grand Finals we've played in. Port by 5 goals, sigh...

Port by 5 points tba

Ebert winning goal after siren tba

Rodan for Norm Smith tba

Brent Harvey for Brownlow wrong

Coburg VFL winners wrong

Judd to Collingwood tba (unlikely)

Shaun Tait for Allan Border Medal tba

Chas Licciardello for PM. too close to call

Yet to pick one right.

I'll be going for the Catters minus Ottens.

But will be strongly supporting Rodan, would love to see him get a medallion.

Do you support Richmond minus Nathan Brown?


Geelong by 8 Goals.

 

[- PC -]

Both sides have some really sad supporters...but thats not the reason I am picking one over the other...

Based on form alone I am tipping Geelong to win. They have been the better side for most of the year and while Port have played some great football I think they are still a year away from having a genuine chance at a flag ( yes I know playing in a GF is a genuine chance)

I am one of those who subscribe to the 30 second theory. 30 seconds of football was the difference to Port finishing 2nd and 6th. That Port were good enough to stand up in those 30 seconds will hold them strong in a close game...but I dont think it will be close

Cats by 38
