Grand Final Predictions

[hoss]

Sydney will win and I'll be as impressed as much as Lance Armstrong winning a Tour de France. Vomit.

Bloody funny - made me laugh.

On a more serious note the "Bloods culture" is a joke. Didn't help them a jolt for about 70 odd years when they were rubbish. Just hype.

Yeah it is, but then again, whatever works for you. It always helps to have a 'story', a mythology to help motivate a team, that's theirs I suppose.

Have the umpires been announced ?

Sydney by 22 pts.

Nicholls, Stevic and Meredith.

It can just be a snapshot in time was what I was getting at rather than an enduring culture as such. Any team that is struggling to win games for any length of time starts to pull apart and that is when "culture" is important.

The biggest problem I have with the whole thing is listening to Bruce carry on about it while reaching for the wet wipes! At least both his hands are free with the headsets they wear now.

 

[McClane]

Hawks will have to pull something special out of the bag for this one I think. I just hope its as good a game as a couple of years ago.

Sydney by 3 goals.

Anyone have any recommendations on a place in Melbourne CBD to watch it? Booked the flights at the start of the season, may aswell make a holiday out of it

Sydney by 22

Luke Parker to win Norm Smith

 

[Kram]

Does anyone else really want a twilight GF? Sucks having the game start at only just past noon over here, 2 hours later would be so much better.

 

[clogged]

Only way Sydney wins by double digits is if Franklin kicks 4+ goals.

Still think Hawthorn have the deeper spread of scoring power. I'm tipping Hawks by 5.

If you don't mind a massive amount of people, they'll have it on the big screen at Fed Square. Literally every pub in Melbourne will have it on as well.

Just go to Fed square, especially if weather good.
There would be 1'000 's there.

 

[Freeeoo]

Hawks by 11pts
Norm: Mitchell

Purely because Rioli is In Im tipping Sydney. You need 22 primed players to win a flag. I think he'll be a hindrance. Looked very dodgy in last week's VFL grandie! They've been going just fine without him for 13 weeks.

Sydney by 28

 

[E Shed]

pretty even but I would suggest Sydney are in slightly better touch and had an easier game going in whereas Hawks were out on their feet last week.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Hawks pull out another incredible effort but if I had to put money down it would be on Sydney.
