In the pick 3 comp I picked Brissie, but I reckon Geelong will win. They are the form team this year. Yes there are questions arising from their recent record in finals, some of their players not performing in finals, form after a bye etc. Brisbane have been playing well, very well, and I give them a chance, although if I was them I would give Daniher some much needed parental leave, surely he needs to look after the new Bub - they were better without him last week. But it is hard to pick against Geelong because their record this year is so good and they have tweaked their game to make it a bit more competitive. Given how close Geelong has been for years it wasn't a big adjustment they needed to get over the line. Plus, Jeremy Cameron is not only a very good player, slotting him in suited their particular needs, the amount of ground he covers is astounding, he pops up everywhere. But, I still want Geelong to be humiliated by 100pts tonight!
I actually reckon Sydney are less likely to lose than Geelong. They have been great and they have the game to win it all. I would pick them against Geelong without any qualms. Collingwood have been very impressive but I don't reckon they are yet at the top, Sydney have been quietly building for a few years. My tip for the flag and the team I want to win it, plus, although my partner is not really interested in footy, she is a South Melbourne supporter.
