Geelong: A loss this weekend would see the mighty Cats exit the finals series with after winning 2 of the last 3 Grand finals. Win and they have to get over, most probably, the Saints or perhaps the Dogs. Would anything other than a flag mean the Cats have under-acheived? If they lose Ablett to GC would they be able to get up for another tilt in 2011.
Collingwood: Finished 6 points clear on top of the the ladder.......and have no injuries. They are cherry ripe. If they lose this week or next have they missed their opportunity? It seems inevitable injuries and individual form loss will play a bigger part in their season in 2011. They have been there abouts for a few years now without making a real fist of it.
St Kilda: 2010 is probably their best chance. Does the premiership window slam shut if they lose this weekend or the next? If they dont win it this year is their list good enough going forward? The Lovett trade debacle and the loss of Ball could still bite hard in the next few years.
Western Bulldogs: Third preliminary final in a row says it all! Barry Hall has delivered what was hoped. Johnson is a fading star. Cooney is out. Where too for the Dogs if the fall over at the preliminary final stage again? They are limping home and appear the least likely of the four.
In 2011 it will become a bit harder to win a flag again..with the addition of a new team. All four teams have added pressures for various reasons. For mine the side under the most pressure to deliver is the Saints.
