AFL Decider will be intense
Today's AFL Championship match between the Sydney Swans and Hawthorne Hawks, the finale many fans hoped for will be entertaining with a twist or two.
Hawthorne has made it through to face their former phenomenon James "Buddy" Franklin on the big stage. So will the Hawks be able to prove that they can snatch a premiereship without him? Is Franklin just what the Swans need to get them over the top?
In the end, since my favs...the West Coast Eagles did not make it through....I'm just a pure fan today but take great delight in the fact that there is no Eddie's Kids (Collingwood) or Carlton Crew anywhere to be seen either!! I'm ducking and looking over my shoulder after making the previous comment though.....how did so many Collingwood/Carlton/Crows fans end up in my life anyhow??? Hmm....
Ok....let's just pick a winner before I go to the TAB!!
Sydney Swans vs Hawthorn Hawks
Two years ago, Hawthorn dropped the finale to the Swans after a fantastic season before avenging themselves and claiming the crown last season with a win over Fremantle. For some reason, I'm leaning towards going with the "Reverse Buddy" philosophy and picking Hawthorne to take out the match and complete their back to back quest. The Hawks have shown they are a team that can get it done even after losing their Top Gun.
It will be tense, it will be a battle, it will probably come down to the last few minutes. And the winner will probably not score more than 93 or so points.
Prediction: Hawthorn 88 - Sydney 83
Enjoy the match peeps....time to get the game day festivities under way....hello Southern Cross Sports Club!!!
