I tweeted several months ago they may as well cancel the rest of the AFL season (after round 13) and move straight to the grand final between St Kilda and Geelong.
They were by far the two best teams all year and today contested a worthy grand final, with the Cats triumphant.
I’m not too sentimental about St Kilda missing a flag, which would have been just their second and their first since 1966.
Geelong deserve their success.
Central Districts defeated Glenelg in the SANFL grand final in front of 34,128 fans. Not a bad crowd for a match few people care about.
The grand final is over and Hawthorn won. They were the better team on the day.
Geelong will regret losing that grand final more than any other team I can think of since Collingwood in 1970.
It’s so hard to build a champion team and the window of premiership opportunity is maybe three or four years.
The Cats fluffed it and next year may be their last chance.
Like everyone else in Australia south of Sydney, I have an opinion on who will win the AFL grand final.
I hope Geelong wins and I’m pretty sure they will. Margin: 34 points.
My son Michael came runner-up in his club’s best and fairest vote (under 12) despite only playing half the season.
How is it possible that Jonathan Brown was not selected at centre half forward in the All Australian team?
Riewoldt is flaky. I know who I would want next to me in the trenches.
New research suggests the great Don Bradman might have achieved the elusive batting average of 100 after all.
The claim relates to a possible scoring error in the final Test of 1928-1929.
Mistakes can happen and it wouldn’t be any surprise if this is true. Proving it might be harder.
And I’m not sure about retrospectively and posthumously changing the record books.
Sorry, but I just struggle to accept that beach volleyball is an Olympic sport. Great babes though.
A 19-year-old Russian defeated a 37-year-old German last weekend to win the world chess boxing championship.
The contest alternates between periods of chess and boxing.
The loser said he was simply too punch drunk to fend off checkmate.
“I took a lot of body- lows in the fourth round and that affected my concentration. That’s why I made a big mistake in the fifth round: I did not see him coming for my king,” he said.
