www.sportingbet.com.au – Finally the sport of Australian Rules Football sees the matchup that many have been demanding for almost two years since a single kick stopped the black and white army from advancing to a premiership in 2007 and the cats went on to win the flag.
The only difference this time is that there is a piece of silverware on the line, and regardless of how small, it’s a match up not to be missed.
Collingwood and Geelong met in the preliminary finals in 2007 and despite a gallant effort from the now retired Nathan Buckley and a siren beating long range bomb from big man Anthony Rocca, the Geelong Cats advanced to the Grand Final to take out the 2007 premiership.
Last year the two teams met in a low pressure match that managed to attract upwards of sixty thousand supporters to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to see the Geelong team get beaten all around the park in every aspect of the game.
Now, with the chalkboard registering two apiece, tens of thousands of salivating fans will flock to the new look Etihad Stadium to witness a clash of epic proportions.
Hawthorn currently holds the flag and no one can argue with their dominant performance in last year’s Grand Final, but as Geelong showed – every year is a new year and every team must be at the very top of their game to even have a hope of appearing in September, let alone take out top honours.
Black and versus white blue and white – it’s a promoters dream. Sportingbet.com.au
