Well it was touch and go this season with covid 19 threatening to derail the whole AFL season but thanks to a bit of ingenuity and hardly any covid in Queensland (currently 4 active Covid cases). We have managed a shorten season through to the pointy end of the finals. Now down to the last four teams, with the two winners playing off in the Grand final next week.
Tonight its Port Adelaide V Richmond and tomorrow night Brisbane V Geelong. My tip is Port Adelaide tonight in a close one. I've gone with PA due to playing on their home ground which has to be worth 2 or 3 goals. This is the premiership the Richmond tigers need to win. There is always the suggestion that they have the advantage of playing the Grand Final on their home ground, the MCG. To win the Grand Final in Brisbane at the Gabba this year should quieten some of their critics, especially the interstate teams who have argued they have too big an advantage at finals time.
Saturdays game between Brisbane and Geelong should be a good spectacle. Brisbane have the home ground advantage but Geelong Cats play the ground pretty well. The home ground advantage certainly favours the Brisbane Lions. being a life long fanatical Cats supporter, I will not make a prediction on this game. The Battle of the felines should be a good one, with many tipping the lions, but never underestimate pussy power!
Go Cats!!!!
