Grand Final Predictions

[mike91]

Winner - Sydney, 11 points
Norm Smith - Keiran Jack
Smokey - Jarrad McVeigh
Dream scenario - Buddy kicks his 10th goal after the siren to win it for cola by a point.

 

[Freofalcon]

I will spend far too much money at the Royal Show.

 

[calaisking]

AFL $wans will more then likely take it out but I'll be barracking for the Hawks

Can't stand Sydney and don't want them holding up that cup on Saturday afternoon

I have a strong disliking for both teams, but I absolutely cannot stand hawthorn fans, so much so that I'm actually going to cheer on cola and Buddy.

 

[Admiral Byng]

I'll be barracking for Hawthorn, but Sydney to win by 30-40 points.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Think Sydney will win, really hoping I am wrong.

 

[free at last]

I hope the hawks win,it'll silence the Geelong supporters a tad.

Clarko will have to be at his brilliant best to pip Sydney in this one.

Hawthorn by 4 pts

 

[Rob]

Sydney comfortably. They're in form, Hawthorn aren't.

 

[DardySingh360]

Winner: Hawthorn, 5 points.
Norm Smith: Brad Hill
Smokey: Spangher
Dream Scenario: Buddy misses a shot to win after the siren and the Hawks reign supreme.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Hawks by 3 goals.

Buddy to go insane after an umpire actually pings him for holding the ball.

 

[Square Peg]

I'm just looking forward to the competitions two heavyweights slugging it out over 4 quarters, Rosebury in the red corner and Stevic in the yella and brown, hard to pick a winner at this stage

 

[Bulldocker]

Swannies by a fair margin (6 - 8 goals)
Luke Parker for the Norm Smith - just the most complete player after Gaz and the Fyfernator.
NS smokey - Hodge. Because it's a media award, the jizz pack over there could still give it to him just for smothering a kick and laying a sort-of tackle.
Scenario - Swans in front by a shitload at 3/4 time and then the channel 7 boys club getting all excited as Hawks edge within 50 points at the start of the last!

 

[freo84]

Sickening Buddy talk all week............

Over it already.

 

[PapaJ]

Think will win - The AFL Swans by 19 points. Want Hawks to win, but Sydney are too primed for this.
Think will get Norm Smith - Parker
Smokey for NS - Bruest
Dream scenario - Buddy kicks 1.9 (1 point for every year of his contract) and Hawks win by a 1 point.

Likely scenario - Rioli plays and gets 1 glorious disposal for the whole game that causes Bruce McAvaney's head to explode and declare him the winner of the Norm Smith, Player of the Century and Browlow Medallist in perpetuity.

 

[Arcassius]

Alas - if only we had won against Sydney

 

[beetz]

Fyf.... crap, that's not happening.


Hawks were ordinary on the weekend, similar to Freo the week before Port didn't take their chances early. I know it's a what if but if Freo got over Port (which they should of) Freo would of taken care of Hawks no worries.

 

[clogged]

Why do people think Sydney will win by a large margin?

 

[Seppo]

Why do people think Sydney will win by a large margin?

 

[PapaJ]

Why do people think Sydney will win by a large margin?

It doesn't matter what we think, it only matters what the AFL think.

 

[clogged]

That bloke in middle loves Hawthorn.

 

[clogged]

It doesn't matter what we think, it matters what the AFL think.

If the AFL can control the margin, they will want a close one.

 

[Seppo]

That bloke in middle loves Hawthorn.

I actually don't know who is umpiring the GF, the image was just a metaphor.
Is there a pro-sydney umpire out there?

 

[PapaJ]

If the AFL can control the margin, they will want a close one.

True ... I was joking of course.

But jokes aside, I think Sydney are just too primed for this. The players that matter are in form, fully fit and firing. At this stage of things it's really the team that is primed better that has the best chance. Sydney are better rested, have less injury concerns (though Hawks aren't decimated either of course) and are playing very good finals footy.

Not a certainty of course, Hawks are clearly good enough to be there and get it done, just the way I'm seeing it.

 

[beetz]

I'll be there. Booked my package with extreme confidence about 3 days before the Saints game.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Hope Sydney wins for no reason other than the fact that I hate Metro Trains and their "Keep the Cup in Melbourne" campaign with an all consuming passion.
