2007 Grand Final Preview

[b]SUNDAY[/b] [i][b]Coburg Tigers vs Geelong at MC Labour Park,Carlton 2:15pm (ABC TV, Casey Radio, 3XX 1611AM, 774 ABC Melbourne, 3AW 693, 95.5FM K-ROCK)[/b][/i] This should be a great game!!!! These 2 sides met just a couple of weeks ago in the Qualifying Final and Coburg stuck with the Cats until 3 Quarter Time before Geelong ran away with a 31 point win. Can the Tigers sustain the pressure for the whole game or will the Cats experience win the game. I think Coburg can stay with the Cats for most of the game but I think the Cats can run away with it in the last quarter and win their 2nd VFL premiership.

Mustn't have been a great turn up yesterday (Sunday) at 8am when they opened the gates 2 hours and 15 minutes before the reserves game started!!!! Only half an hour before the 2s game this week.

I hope... 1. It's a nice day weather wise to ensure a decent crowd... 2. Coburg win the reserves 3. Coburg win the seniors 4. Chris Judd goes to Melbourne and plays 7 games with Sandy next year... Maybe 3 out of 4 will work
