Well a couple of hours away from the big one, just looked at the weather radar, quite a bit of rain heading towards Melbourne, currently around the Geelong area, so one suspects could be a wet start to the game

Welcome all the the MCG for the last AFL game of the year, the Grand Final between the Geelong Cats and the St Kilda Saints. Both definately the best 2 sides of the year now meet in the big one.

Horrid weather about to hit the G, lights are on and are really standing out.

1/2 hour till the first bounce in what hopefully is going to be a classic contest

Appears no late changes to either side

Evidently huge storm will hit the G around 1/4 time, big start required by the sides as the Catters come out onto the ground, interesting by Bomber Thompson putting up 2 victory fingers and laughing, seems very relaxed

Hi 5's allround by the Saints as they come out onto the ground to a huge roar, looked very switched on and determined

National anthem done and dusted, it's all about the start, goosebumps everywhere

Geelong wins the toss and Geelong kicking to the City end favoured by a breeze
