Melee A confused conflict or mingling.
Perfect description of a Slapovich commentary.

My prediction: Robert Walls will salivate, genuflect and generally dribble over Geelong.

Hawks will beat the beejesus out of the Cats in the first quarter then the umpires will step in to make it an "even" contest. Hawks will eventually prevail with Buddy and Willo kicking a bag full each to defeat those lying, snivelling little cheats commonly called the Geelong Football Club.

Gary Ablett will cry.

Hawks to win by a bit.
Headlines include:
"Buddy Wins on the Big Stage"
"Cats Burgeled"
"Hawks Swoop"
"We were cheated: Gary Ablett tells all."

And some media 'hack' will cry about how the finals defeat the purpose of the 22 rounds, how geelong deserved to be crowned after they were the best all year.
They'll be a happy team at hawthorn...

Geelong by 11

Roughguts first goal

Slegewood junior for NSM

Luke hodge will attempt to kill someone from the centre bounce with a mass hip and shoulder

Crawf to cry and announce retirement

Another prediction:

Greg bets all the equity in his greyhound breeding on Bateman to kick the first goal ($26) - shouts all Dockerlanders to an 'all-the-Freo-Pils-you-can drink-while-remembering-Jeff's-best-goals' night at the S/A on the winnings.

Ablett will kick the first goal...then Brereton will get cleaned up and have broken ribs.

Hawks by a goal.

sturt to roll glenelg on sunday and then smash centrals the week after in the GF.

Cats ....

yawn...


49 points

Hawks to unsettle the cats in the first quarter or two, maybe be up by a goal at quarter and half time. Noone can keep it up for the four quarters against a good Pussy, so in the third and fourth quarters the cats will run away with it like they usually do.

Cats by 7 goals in the end.

I think the Hawks will win by about 30 and Hodgey will win the Norm.

Will be a close game for most of it but Hawks will bust it open in the latter part of the 3rd.

Ibbotson Carlise to make a surprise appearance in the Hawks post game celebrations.

there was only one certainty today.

ablett cried.

or as they say in the good book, "jesus wept".

I told you Ablet would cry. I just didn't realise quite how much.

I also predicted that Hawthorn would win.

So, two out of three ain't bad.

I may also have won the office tipping comp as I predicted the Hawks would win by 25.

Just call me psychic.

No Brown. No Norm. No Prem.

Only a river of tears. In a pink tutu.

Shadenfreude is a guilty pleasure.

Gary Ablett will cry - can't believe how spot on you got it mate!

Roll on 2009...
