Grand FInal Day Predictions

[goswannies]

Why is Harry contesting the sprint again this year? He's fast but I would've have thought he was faster than Lewis or Gary.

Ummmm was that a serious question?!

You would risk Jetta or Rohan who have come off long term injuries, who might not be at their usual pace anyway & who might be at risk of further injury?

If anyone, run Pyke who's known to be quick or even Jesse (if you don't want to risk one of our players to potebtial soft tissue injuries) ... he's pretty quick. Or even USA Mitchell?

First Goal: Sam Reid
Norm Smith: Kieren Jack
Victor: Sydney
Margin: 31 points
Sprint: Jetta (he'll be able to run at half time of a game he's playing in)
Random Prediction: Jesse phones his manager at 3/4 time & wants back to his home at Sydney

I was supposed to predict the 2014 Grand Final, right?

FIRST GOAL: Puopolo
NORM SMITH: Stephen Hill
VICTOR: Fremantle
MARGIN: 14
GF SPRINT: Dangerfield.
RANDOM PREDICTION: "Lower the eyes" mentioned before half way through first quarter. Mrs Hill to be celebrating a GF victory for her son.

Random prediction: Sewell will knock out Crowley and Ballantyne and announce his retirement at the end of the game.

Wouldn't that cost him a fair sum of money? I believe they added a large dollar fine after Mr Lynch went out throwing haymakers?

First Goal: Walters
Norm Smith: Mzungu (going out on a limb!)
Victor : Freo
Margin: 17 points
Sprint: Dangerfield
Random prediction: One of the subs will be activated before half time

[Bloodthirsty]

Random prediction: A cannibalistic clown parachutes onto the MCG and starts eating Ryan Crowley. The clown is surprisingly quick and by the time security arrives, he is gone. Security is led by Dolph Lundgren, who is diligent enough to notice that the cannibal clown dropped a business card that says 'A. Clarkson - Entrepreneur'.

I'd be happy to contribute a small amount.......It was only 2 accidental bumps your honor....

FIRST GOAL: Pavlich
NORM SMITH: Pavlich
VICTOR: Fremantle
MARGIN: 5
GF SPRINT: Dangerfield, followed by daylight and Harry
RANDOM PREDICTION: I will turn off the commentary in about the 1st quarter because of so many clich?s dribbling out of the mouths of the commentators. Actually that's not a prediction, just a given. Random Prediction - Hawks to choke again, with kicking for goal to be their nemesis (i.e. will kick more goals than behinds, have more scoring shots than freo, but lose!)

[Bloodthirsty]

Roll the dice. Roll the dice. Roll the dice. Hawthorn have to roll the dice here. Roll the dice. A roll of the dice. Start rolling the dice. Just roll the dice.

Freo by 10 points. One point for every million that Buddy will get at GWS, and also the same margin as last year.

For those not keen on the potential commentary Hawks lovefest, Roy and HG have revived "The Festival of the Boot" and will be doing the call on abc newsradio. If it's true to how they used to do it they'll be doing their call while watching the TV telecast so should fit in well as a replacement.

Hmmm.....Dangerfield won Heat 1 of the GF Sprint very comfortably, but then our boy, Gazza comfortably won Heat 2. Interesting final coming up!!!

I love listening to Roy and HG but sorry this one will have to be on podcast. Probably listen to their NRL call live though.

Drats. Dangerfield wins his third in row. Gazza slows down towards the line and finishes around fourth. The start was very untidy and I suspect Gazza might have missed the start.

RANDOM PREDICTION: "Lower the eyes" mentioned before half way through first quarter.

Yes !!!!!! With 11:52 left of the first quarter, Commetti says " Birchall lowers the eyes"

[mcs]

Wow, when will the game start. 1st half has been very ordinary compared to what we got to see last year Freo sooo nervous and wasting their chances. Can only see one result from here to be honest.
