I can't wait for next weekend to come quicker. This 2009 season the AFL finals series are going to be massive. Yes, unfortunately, the West Coast Eagles or Fremantle Dockers did not finish in the top eight teams of the ladder. Both teams proved the Eastern States "tanking" critics wrong. AFL is Australia's national game and I have grown to respect since my childhood days - yes I am indeed an unabashed fan of the game. I absolutely love it to bits and know many of the players' names, coaches and assistant coaches (and which coach was employed by which club in the past). This season I would say the top four teams, judging from this weekend's performances, in numerical order are:
- St Kilda
- Geelong
- Bulldogs
- Magpies
I was also pleased that in the last "tipping" round of the regular season I recieved 7 correct tips. Either of the top four could be playing in a premiership final because they are the trendsetters for 2009. It is going to be a rivetting finals series..... hope St Kilda run out as premiers this year though, they are the best team out of 16 for this season and they have some young stars - Nick Riewoldt, Lenny Hayes, Leigh Montaghna, Stephen Milne, Adam Schneider... to name just a few...
