Not sure if people even bet on football in the seventies but Sturt would have been paying about 1.01 and the Redlegs about 4.00 before the 1978 GF so no one's counting any chickens in my house.
Let the fans get ahead of themselves, its fun watching people from both sides saying they have the win in the bag. As long as the players don't think the game is already won, that's the important thing.
I'm a little nervous about this game, North have shown some great form the last three weeks, even though they haven't quite put four quarters together in that time. Norwood fresh and injury/soreness free should be ready to take on everything North's throw at them. I'm tipping a close one on Sunday, Norwood by under 3 gls.
