NH: AFL GF Hawthorn vs Sydney
Well tomorrow is the biggest game of the year, with the two best sides all year clashing on the last Saturday in September.
Last time these teams met it was a thriller with the Hawks taking the honors by 7 points.
Probably the hardest GF to pick in recent years, no clear favourites except the bookies are liking the Hawks at this stage.
With wild weather looming, it could be a hard fought slog, favouring the Swans but with game winners in Buddy and Cyril anything could happen.
A few interesting side stories in this GFK
-Kennedy playing his old side (where he has very stong family ties)
-The two coaches Clarkson and Longmuire being close friends, ex teammates and ex housemates
-Mike Pyke the Canadian ex Union star playing a key role for Sydney
-Possibly the two most exciting small forwards in the game in Rioli and Jetta facing off.
Hoping for a cracker game, tipping Hawks by 15 with Rioli taking home the Norm.
