Preliminary Final weekend in Australia

Who's gong to AFL/NRL Grand Finals

It's down to four teams in both the National Rugby League and the Australian Football League Friday and Saturday to see who advances to next weekends Grand Finals in both codes.
Without further waffle....I'll get down to picking the games!!

AFL

Geelong vs Sydney
The Swans float into this one off a big win over Adelaide last weekend and with a four game win streak over the Supercats since 2014. 
The task may be more difficult for Sydney at the MCG and the Cats are known to lift when a place in the finals is on the line.
Geelong by 14

GWS vs Western
Totally uncharted turf for the Giants and the usual exit point for the Bulldogs! One will advance to the big stage next weekend so I'm leaning towards GWS to hanf on at Spotless Stadium....though not by the margin of 25 as was the case earlier this season.
GWS by 8

NRL

Cronulla vs North Queensland
Though the Sharks escaped with a narrow win earlier in the season, things wil be totally different scenario with a Grand Final place on offer. If it is close or down to the wire this week...Thurston Time or maybe the Cowboys will pull away and defend their title!
Cowboys 26-18

Melbourne vs Canberra
The Storm are looking for Grand Final magic once again but first they will have the Raiders to deal with on Saturday.
Canberra have been this season's NRL darlings but at full time on Saturday, they will be just short of next week's finale!
Storm 28-22

Back next Friday to pick the Grand Finals!
