    So pumped for the Swans.. so nervous... I've been trying to think how we can win..

    We need someone to negate Mitchell (bird maybe)

    We need Goodes to start in the midfield get some dash.

    kennedy, Jack, ROK and Mcveigh needs to get the ball

    Shaw needs to be able to distribute off half back

    someone needs to chin Franklin, Rioli early so they can't come back on...

    We can definitely do it. I think the bigger ground will actually suit Sydney. We're not a lock down team like we once were. I think getting jetta into space will be good.

    But Hawks are definitely favourites, and I am sadly preparing myself for a loss..

    A wintry day, rain, hail and 14 degrees forecast for the game.
    This will help Sydney.

    I don't know.. we might be too tall for a wet day... I heard Mark Maclure say maybe drop Pyke in the event of bad weather, which would damage our structure big time.. But if it's wet, I don' think we can go in with him...

    So, another way is to perhaps give Morton the sub vest and give Parker a run.. .That kid will be a star... he's not back to 100% form after Boyd broke Parkers collar bone... but he is made for wet weather football.. If we do go in tall, we'd just need some guys who are able to scoop up the crumbs... so a Bolton, Hannebury, Kennedy.. and even a Jetta. Even though Jetta doesn't traditionally play that sort of crumbing roll. I think he could be good at it...

    i think the cold slightly rainy weather helped the cats last year because we are great in the wet but not sure who that would favor this year.. I still think either way hawks will win.. hoping for a good classic GF.

    I've commented on pretty much every other thread, so why not this one. What's the difference in AUS football and rugby? Seriously, I have no clue.

    Well we have 3 major football codes in Australia, 4 if you include soccer...

    Rugby League

    Rugby Union

    and

    Australian Rules Football.. or AFL

    the AFL grandfinal was yesterday, and my team won... it was awesome...

    THis is the last two minutes of the grand final yesterday.. .watch it if you like. It's very different to Rugby Union or Rugby League...

    This was pure magic for me

    Now I am off to watch my team in the Rugby League grand final... one hell of a weekend...

    Well done Bloods.
    I wanted you guys to win, especially for Goodes and McVeigh.
    Feel sorry for McGlinn.
    Jetta/Rioli chase down the wing was awesome, how loud was the crowd during that!!!
    Imagine if Goodes didn't get injured, shame we didn't see him in full flight on the big stage.
    Now that you have the AFL premiership going to Sydney give us Melburnians the NRL premiership!

    Almost 9 years, time to dust off the thread, Shai Bolton can fly (although the Cats had the final roar),
