Hawthorn v Collingwood

Ripping game and definitely much closer than most believe. Hawthorn have a massive shot at winning this game because their midfield of Mitchell, Sewell, Burgoyne, Bateman and Hodge will give it their all and they do match-up pretty well in the past with the Collingwood midfield of Swan, Ball, Pendlebury and Thomas.
Media speculate that Collingwood are somewhat not in the best form but I think that is due to the fact that their game style is really being worked on and Hawthorn are the type of team that have the ability to cause the upset of the year.

Franklin will dominate the Collingwood defenders as Maxwell and O'brien just aren't big enough to really worry him and that leaves Reid who returns from injury which is a huge task to try and stop a bloke who's averaging 4 goals a match in the finals regardless of his own fitness concerns, a half fit Franklin still takes the best defender and draws a double team. Jolly, Dawes & Didak are players who are in average form and it won't change in the space of a week. Didak in particular is a very surprising selection, he's extremely overrated and seems to always fail on the big stage so it will be very interesting to see which Hawthorn player goes to him as I'm sure the coaching spotlight will be focused on that battle.
Hawks will stay in this game throughout the night and the 4 goal line is too good to pass up in a tight contested final with everything to play for.

Hawthorn +23.5 is the play tonight.

Just played it.   Won't be able to watch it.    Took your boys in the other -28. 

Geelong, give us your analysis on the WCE game and don't be bias 

tough game all day long and will be very similar to the Collingwood match imo. Eagles are athletic, youthful and apply the press better than most in the AFL due to the larger ground of Subiaco and the fitness of their players because of a massive pre-season.

As good as what they have been I seriously can't see them getting out to any lead whatsoever and it will be Geelong that dictate the play for most of the afternoon. Jimmy Bartel has pushed back in recent months and his contested marking along with contested one on one footy has been one of Geelong's underrated secrets so far. Wojcsinki is in career best form and his run along with Varcoe and Christensen through the middle is what will break the game open on numerous occasions to set up Hawkins, Podsiadly or Johnson.

Look for a big game from Chapman as he's started to play his best football of the year after a quite average season by his own standards. I think he is going to be a tough match-up for the Eagles defense, either Hurn or Waters may get that job but his one on one marking is a worry for those guys. Apart from Corey (inside word is he's 100% fine) and of course Menzel (ACL), The cats are in prime condition and the week's rest will mean they will run out the game when it does in fact get tight and players become fatigued. West Coast are playing injured with a few of their stars and I don't care how good a team you are...in a final it always makes a difference in the end and they have been great all year but Geelong are on another level and their last month of football has been their best yet, and that's also including their 2007 and 2008 season's.

Cats will win it between 25-40 points.

and also don't forget that when the Eagles did beat us in round 16, Geelong were in a heavy training schedule and were not playing to well and lost to the Bombers the week before then after the Eagle loss came out and played quite poor against the Tigers before starting to hit their straps in late August. And in the game against West Coast, we did not have Selwood and we went into the game with only the one ruckman. It was Varcoe's 1st match back after a month away through injury and we go into the game on Saturday with the two ruckman of Ottens and West and Selwood along with Varcoe in very good shape.

Hawks +23.5

Hopefully the Grand Final plays out as exciting as the Hawks v. Pies match was!
