No, the Gods of Divine Justice have determined it shall never rest on Victorian soil again in retribution for the original sins of the old VFL.

I bet the Kitties are nervous now! :wink:

This GF will be a breath of fresh air for the AFL with 2 attacking sides going at it for a full 100 minutes. Couldn't see either side fading after half time, both are super fit and have had the week off previous.
So many good match ups in this game.
Ablet-Cornes will be the match up that will probably decide the game if they line up that way. Ablet only needs 20 touches to hurt you, he'll probably rack up another lazy 30+.
After watching Port the past couple of games I'm starting to think Geelong arn't the monte's for the flag I had thought they might be.
I still think they'll win, just.
Here's hoping it's an 18 goal to 17 goal result and may the best team win.
And I pray that team is Geelong. [-o< [-o< [-o<

Geelong 21.17.143 d Port Adelaide 17.11.113. 8)

I can tell you the Power would be feeling confident within themselves to walk away with a premiership this year , Geelong peaked too early and Port are just hitting peak form .

I think both sides are fairly evenly matched.
I think the cats just have that little bit more class and will do enough to win the premiership.

(Gulp.........this is difficult)
Port Adelaide are a well coached, well drilled, well managed club with class players on every line. I know one bloke who will not be underestimating them..............Mark Thompson.
It wasn't that long ago Port found a way to win at Kardina.........not to many other sides have been able to do that this season.
Port are a genuine chance this weekend make no mistake about it.
Still hate 'em but DEFINATLY rate them.
PLEEEEEEASE GO YOU CATS!

It pains me to say this Port will cream Geelong, they've been there before recently, they've got a dozen or so GF veterans, they've recruited brilliantly. Get ready for the turquoise blowhards handing it out for another year :(

The look on the Senior player's faces after the twos won the flag yesterday was we want that feeling for ourseleves. I feel the Cats will win in a close on forget what you read and who has premiership players. There are plenty of side with premiership experence and not won a flag the next year or two after. The cats have won a 2002 VFL premiership and the 2006 NAB cup away in Adelaide. They are hurting from missed chances and last year I feel the cats have more to play for.

They don't sing [no tune] they sort of chant, but without the rhythm either! It takes a Welsh Rugby player to sing the club song.

You contradict yourself there. If there are plenty of premiership sides that have not won the year after, then Geelong is doomed as they won the NAB cup last year.

The past is in the past, it will come down to who is the better side on Sat. All the talk of experience and differing preparations is rubbish IMO. The one single certainty in a GF is that taking in injured players DOESN'T work. And neither side really has that problem appart from Egan for the Cats. I doubt Bomber would be silly enough to risk him.

And saying the Cats have more to play for is rubbish. It's a GF. Everyone is playing for the same prize. Everyone wants it just as much as the next man.

What a crock 'to much chatter',the media ask a baited question and the coach/players answer them.What do you want them to do?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Yep there's so much discussion in GF week, but I guess that's part of it all.

God I wish it was Saturday already!

Would like to see Matt Thomas line up in the GF on Saturday for the Power but given he won't have played for a bit now, they'll probably go with someone else.
Truly has nothing to do with people comparing him to Michael Wilson, I just love the way the bloke plays football.
