Hey Guys,

Tomorrow the Pies will Face the Cats to determine who is going to play in the Grand Final next week. Here is the lineup

Emg: Andrew Mackie, Taylor Hunt, Mark Blake

I think that this Game maybe even better than the Grand Final. In this Game we see, the two Best Teams, fight for survival in September. It is going to be a blockbuster!!!!

Last time they faced off:

Geelong 3.1 9.4 11.8 12.13 (85)
Collingwood 4.5 8.9 12.15 14.23 (107)

As we see, last time they faced off, Magpies defeated the Cats.

Rivalry

Swan VS Ablett - The two favorites for the Brownlow Medal

Player to Watch Out For

Gary Ablett Jr- Last time Ablett had 26 Disposals

Dane Swan- Last time Swan had 32 Disposals

Who will win and Why

Well I think Collingwood may win if they put Swan against Ablett.

My Prediction

Magpies by 23

Freo VS Cats - Semi Finals Prediction...

The Cats and Freo currently are facing off at the MCG, so I'm here to remind you that this game is very important to our Magpies.

GEELONG CATS v FREMANTLE
Geelong Cats
B: Corey Enright, Matthew Scarlett, Josh Hunt
HB: Joel Corey, Tom Lonergan, Harry Taylor
C: Jimmy Bartel, Cameron Ling, James Kelly
HF: Steve Johnson, James Podsiadly, Paul Chapman
F: Shannon Byrnes, Cameron Mooney, Mathew Stokes
Foll: Brad Ottens, Gary Ablett, Joel Selwood

Fremantle

HB: Roger Hayden, Luke McPharlin, Greg Broughton
C: Garrick Ibbotson, David Mundy, Stephen Hill

Foll: Aaron Sandilands, Anthony Morabito, Paul Duffield
I/C: Des Headland, Michael Walters, Dylan Roberton, Nick Suban
Changes to the selected side
In: Des Headland
Out: Jesse Crichton

This is the Lineup

I tend to think that Freo might just have this one in the bag but lets take a look at the last time they faced off...

Fremantle 3.6 9.8 12.12 18.17 (125)
Geelong Cats 4.4 8.10 14.14 17.16 (118)

As we see, Freo won last time, so will they relive that moment in this important month of September or will their dreams be shattered by the mighty Cats.

Who ever wins this round will be facing the Pies next week to get in to the Grand Final.

Players to watch...

Gary Ablett Jr - He is a tremendous player, he works hard and has the second most disposals in the Game, Last time they met he kicked 4 goals and had 33 disposals.

My Prediction...

Freo by 5

Extra Note...

I think if Freo shut Ablett down, Freo will have a 80% chance of winning...

Who ever wins will play the Pies in the preliminary finals.
