Two pretty well matched sides but I have to lean towards Geelong with more firepower up front.
Stewart is a big loss for the Cats. Lachie Neale is a big risk for Brisbane.
I think Cats will win but I’m on the Lions band wagon. Cats just look too strong at the moment. Lions have big hearts and will stay in it the whole way.
Lions go for the double.

we can only hope Bazza … its Geelong Vs The Rest of Aus hahaha
Probably Geelong,but I was surprised with the ease of which the Lions disposed of the Pies,as I thought losing the key forward Hipwood a few weeks ago would be a big blow,but this young monster Gallop,took some huge marks for them last week,and his input along with Morris,will be critical to their chances,particularly with the Cats going into the game without their best defender Stewart.
Geelong to win or else Scott will complain about something. I reckon Neale was always going to play - he’s certainly worth the risk. Worst case scenario, there’s always the sub. Go Brizzie!!!
Some rumours around that Neale is going to be the sub. That makes no sense. If he is fit, he should be on the ground from the start
Update: Brisbane have now confirmed he will be the sub. Advantage Geelong now I reckon
Jeremy Cameron playing like a typical full forward unless it’s lace out fkn useless. Needs to grow a set it’s a grand final. Otherwise sub him out for Martin.
Noticed he had no problems bending down from a chair to lace up both boots at half time.
Very pleased to be wrong. Is the so called greatest coach not quite the greatest? Chris Fagan would have to be the best coach for the last 10 years and may have even more for the future.
Had the sense that Brisbane had control of the game even though it was close up till late in the 3rd quarter. Once they got a couple of goals in front the floodgates opened. None of Geelongs key players had any influence on the game. Having Lachie Neale as a sub was a masterstroke by Fagan who totally outcoached Scott in this game. Rayners tackling in the 2nd half was brutal and led to at least 3 lions goals
