What a week of football with the Hawks falling painfully short and Chris Judd bombing it at the Brownlow, you could see the smiles on every Australian’s (non-Carlton supporter) face on Tuesday morning. That may have also been due to our expert betting where everyone who followed our vote count and took the ‘safe bets’ won A LOT of money

The Verdict
The pies gameplan has slowly been figured out throughout the year. The Cats are undoubtly the form team over the last Month and Beat Eagles by 48, Hawks by 31. Pies beat Eagles by 20, Hawks by 3. It will be a great game but the Cats will prove the critics wrong and make it 3 premierships in 6 years. Expect the game to be won through hard man-on-man defense from the Cats.
Geelong by 28
