Re: Grand Final Predictions
I went yesterday - my first ever GF, and the atmosphere from 2 pm onwards was electric - though having said that, I reckon the atmosphere at the Pies v Cats prelim was better.
Was sitting with Saints fans in the top deck of the Ponsford and they were grumpy through the first half, and with good cause. They were in that game up to their neck through the whole first half, mainly thanks to Goddard, and probably should've been level at half time.
Their ball use coming out of the back half was abysmal. Goddard was immense, but many others were having stinkers. Why couldn't Nick have played that bad 2 weeks ago? McEvoy shouldn't have been picked - Lyon should've pushed Kosi into the ruck, as he was again terrible, and is probably the easiest forward in the comp part time or otherwise to rebound off - and that includes Minson.
How they likely wish Lovett wasn't a complete tool, as Brett Peake is an out and out spud and cost them momentum in the 2nd quarter big time.
I don't like St Kilda, but I felt for their fans yesterday, just walking around in the last quarter dazed and glassy eyed. Tough gig - the B & W army were on fire, it was bedlam after the siren and trying to leave the ground after presentations, I'm seriously jealous
So despite watching the filth bask in it, it was a great experience
