AFL: Finals Day VII
Found some "official" AFL finals blogs, linked here. Read an article that asks So now for the big question: who will win the 2005 AFL Grand Final?:
Strong arguments can be mounted for both teams. Despite stumbling towards the end of the season, West Coast was the best team all year. The Eagles are motored by a brilliant midfield and have enough talent in the key positions to win both week.
They win 15 of their first 16 games and some of their footy after half-time in the preliminary final was reminiscent of those barnstorming first few months of the season.
But the footy played by the Swans in the first and last quarters of their preliminary final against St Kilda was among the most exhilarating of the year.
Like the Eagles, they have plenty of match-winners, but theirs are closer to goal, where they can have maximum impact.
West Coast was the best team all year, while Sydney is the form team of the last few weeks. The Swans are peaking at precisely the right time and that might be enough to earn them a long-overdue flag – their first since 1933.
So unfortunately, no answers. Why ask the question if you don't know the answer? In this case the Swans will win (at least I hope they will).
