The AFL , has scheduled both Preliminary Finals , for night-time @ 7.45pm Friday , and 7.20pm Saturday .
Collingwood , play Geelong , on Friday night at the MCG .
St Kilda , play the Western Bulldogs, on Saturday night at the MCG.
Lots of things, about the 2010 Finals Series, seem familiar .
Collingwood, walk the walk and talk the talk, but are they capable, of winning the Premiership ?
Geelong , the reigning Premiers are quietly confident , as they present for another Finals series , and are a good chance for the Flag.
Western Bulldogs , the battlers from the West , are playing an exciting brand of football , with the luck of Julia Gillard on their side .
The Saints , sentimental favourites of many, are poised to re-write history, and win only their second premiership, in their illustrious history .
Some questions abound .
Have the Pies , peaked too early ?
Will Geelong win , yet again?
Can the Bulldogs , get across the line, carrying a number of injuries , to their key players?
Will the Saints , finally hit paydirt?
Whatever the outcome , of this frenetic round of preliminary finals , of two things, you can be certain .
A record numbers of fans , will be out cheering their teams to victory, wearing their football jumpers , jerseys , guernseys .
That Molly Meldrum ,has already painted his fence in the red , white and black of the Saints. Is he a jinx?
Sit back , relax and enjoy . We’re in for a bumpy ride to watch AFL Football at its finest.
