Grand Final Fever!!

Only a few days until the biggest games of the year and it seems that both codes the cream has risen to the top, with the best two teams making it through to the big one.

Geelong v Port Adelaide

Geelong for me, they've been out and out the best team all year and seem to know how to win even when not at the best, and I think that maybe Port played their GF last week in that massive blow out against the Kangaroos!

If your having a punt, I think that Geelong to win by between 1-39 points is paying about $2.10, although if you looking for the upset the same points margin for a Port win is about $3.70

Best on ground: Gary Ablett jnr

Storm v Manly

Again the Storm know how to win when their A game is not on, and they just have to many big game players and game breakers. And here is my tip, if Steve Matai plays in the centres for Manly, watch the Storm run decoy runners at him to bring him up and out of the defensive line, creating a hole for the outside runners.

As for the punt aspect, Storm by 1-12.5 paying $3.10 (the bookies actually have them shorter to win by 13+) and Manly a juicy $4 for the same margin!

I'll be on the Storm!!

Best on ground: Cameron Smith

I mentioned that both Geelong and the Storm know how to win when not on the game, there is this saying at the moment regarding golf. If all the golfers show up and have their A game on, Tiger Woods is the best, but who is the second best??

Tiger is second best even if he has to play his B game, same goes for these two teams me thinks!!!

Melbourne and Manly GF. Doesn't really charge the emotions to much does it? I mean it will be a cracker of a game but "a little bit like kissing your sister".

Interesting point on the Golf - I read somewhere earlier in the year that the difference in official ranking points between 1st (woods) and 2nd (furyk at the time, now mickelson) is bigger than the ranking points difference between 2nd and 1500th!!!! (www.officialworldgolfranking.com)
