SA Footy

MCG Saturday 2pm SA time

Can see the Lions being two down on the bench early in this game if the pick both Neale and Berry.

Forecast is 19, partly cloudy and a chance of 0 to 1mm of rain.

Cats by 27 points, Danger to continue that crazy form and get Norm.

Cats by 46. No way does Neale play. I wonder if John Longmire will contact Fages this week and say don't even think about it. Look what happened when they picked Reid a few years ago in the GF.

Early outlook is 18 pales, 6 Turkeys and a pile of snags on the BBQ.

Extra security on duty?

Tickets secured.
Will clock up another 1,500kms this weekend.

Those looking to the past for inspiration to this week's grand final will be receiving mixed messages.

On one hand, you've had exactly one home team win a final each week of the 2025 finals campaign:

Week 1
Crows Lost to Pies
Cats Defeated Lions
Giants Lost to Hawks
Dockers Lost to Suns

Week 2
Crows Lost to Hawks
Lions Defeated Suns

Week 3
Cats Defeated Hawks
Pies Lost to Lions

Week 4
Cats to defeat Lions at the MCG???

However, in contrast, you have those who like to punt on the underdogs posting a profit each of the weeks of finals so far:

Week 1 - up 2.80 units
Crows Lost to Pies +$2.35
Cats Defeated Lions -1 unit
Giants Lost to Hawks +$2.00
Dockers Lost to Suns +$2.45

Week 2 - up 0.05 units
Crows Lost to Hawks +$2.05
Lions Defeated Suns -1 unit

Week 3 - up 0.35 units
Cats Defeated Hawks -1 unit
Pies Lost to Lions +$2.35

Week 4
Cats to lose to Lions at $2.60???

Interestingly, those 3 home team wins, all were questionable.
Cats over lions was at a neutral venue.
Lions over suns were both in their home state.
Cats over Hawks was at the Hawks home ground, not GHMBA.

You could potentially argue that the benefit of a home final this year has actually been a curse!

Or, if the post code is 5000, magnificent.

EFA

If Geelong win, Danger can be another Cat's Premiership Captain to retire. Following Harley, Ling and Selwood.

Cats by 72, the kids of Brisbane will go missing.
Holmes or Atkins for Norm also had a fiver on Humphries at 151
