I got no idea really. Alot depends on what lions team shows up. Are we gonna be accurate? Can Fort slow the dominance that Grundy should have? Can we kick straight?
Think it'll go down to the wire unfortunately (Can't stand close games when my team is playing). Not much between the two teams. But I hope Grundy can dominate Fort and the extra rest will give us the edge.
 
We’re already there. Collingwood have lost more GFs numerically than any other club by a long stretch, but we have the worst grand final win/loss ratio of any club, I believe. (That run of four consecutive GFs in the 1930s for only one premiership sure didn’t help!)
St. Kilda are worse. So are Freo and GWS. Admittedly that's more due to low number of grand Finals made than largely failing as Sydney have. Of the grand finals in the last 15 years Sydney have made this is the first one I'd have them as favourites and even then I wouldn't be surprised if Brisbane win.
 
Yep,, stopping Andrews is massive. Who gets that job?
Jordon? probably not
Parker? went alright against Allirr, but Andrews is a different kettle of fish
Hayward? done similar jobs in the past, and done them well.. but would the Swans sacrifice his game?
Parker against Andrews is a recipe for disaster for Sydney. Unlike Alir, Andrews is actually a decent one on one defender. Alir is excellent as 3rd man up or loose but put an opponent on him and he goes missing as shown last week. A better result for Sydney is a player like Papley or Hayward that are reasonable in the air but could hurt Brisbane at ground level (not that I think Brisbane allow those match ups).

Have a feeling that whichever side wins the match up of Parker vs his opponent wins this. Hayward sacrificing his game to curb Andrews and Parker benefiting has the potential to be the match deciding move. Genius if it works, dumb if it doesn't as Sydney have sacrificed an X Factor player
