I can't imagine it will be close.
I can't handle the thought of it being close yet again.
I reckon with all the tired bodies that one side will run away with it in the last term.
Thoughts??
A one-sided Grand Final Replay?

If it's one sided, we won't be the winner. It's not our way. Alas, if we are to win, it will be the same as most of our wins against the top teams. Stay close or just on top to three quarter time in a low scoring game, and then take the game in the last. It almost worked last week, but we gifted one too many goals in the first half. Cut out those and we are on our way. The fate of the game rests with the reduction in errors from our least skilled players.

I'm with you Plugger. In a sense, at least.
I can't remove myself enough from an almost genetic bias towards us - I admit that - but I must confess I just really like the way our guys go about their stuff when it gets tough. It's like a wall.
Really respect the Pies for what they've done this year, but I can't help but look at GF 1 and see one side succumbing badly to another despite that other being down a rotation.
I simply can't envisage our seasoned bodies and wise heads doing anything other than eventually dominating this one, especially if we can manage another 15 or so inside fifties. With tiring bodies out there, the game's sure to open up at times so I can't see the movement forward being too much of a problem.
Hope I'm right.

I must say I found it funny when some people picked peake for the norm smith last week. In 20 games this year I doubt he has been in the top 5 once let alone BOG in a GF. Doesnt make sense to me. Just look at last week, the 2 best Sainters for the year were the best 2.Tom_Aus wrote:Agree it won't be a close margin (hope not anyway, couldn't cope with that 3 GF's running), i think the saints will get up by 5-6 goals, and blow them away in the last quarter.
Still think Peake is a sneaky chance at norm smith (can't play worse than GF 1)
You make too much sense, lol... I guess we get seduced by the juicy odds offered, i guess he is that price for a reason. Although i had $10 on Gram last year to win the norm smith at $101, as i didn't think he could play anywhere near as badly as he did in the prelim.
