2009 AFL Grand Final Winner: Geelong Cats - Peaking at the right time. No sentimental inclusions.
Margin: 30 points - Probably going to outscore St. Kilda by a goal a quarter and then add another when they realise they can't win.
Norm Smith Medal Winner: Jimmy Bartel - The wet weather specialist.
Norm Smith Medal Smokey: Harry Taylor - If he shuts down Reiwoldt will be a big chance to take Norm home.
2009 AFL Grand Final First Goal: Tom Hawkins - Will be delivered lace out by Gazza who will be wanting to boost the young guy's confidence.
2009 AFL Grand Final Most Possessions: Gary Ablett Jnr. - The old space creating one-two.
2009 AFL Grand Final Leading Goalkicker: Paul Chapman (5) - Will snap at least two. The others from set shots, straight as a die. Will miss a banana.
2009 AFL Grand Final Leading Goalkicker Smokey: Shannon Byrnes - Has excelled when least expected. A favourite whipping boy prior to 2009. Will be treated with contempt by St. Kilda until he scores his 3rd goal.
Have a great Grand Final and UP MOGGIES!!!

Gary Ablett Favourite For The 2009 AFL Brownlow Medal
Gary Ablett has again been posted as the favourite for the 2009 AFL Brownlow medal.
Will he win it this time or will he be reduced to tears by the blindness of the umpires?
Is he truly the favourite, or without the presence of the traditional Brownlow medal leak are the bookies simply trying to get everyone to bet on the one little genius in the knowledge that he can't win it?
Only time will tell.
My Tips:
First (Brownlow Medallist 2009): Gary Ablett Junior.
Second: Dane Swan
Third: Chris Judd

Geelong Cats Vs St. Kilda Saints in the 2009 AFL Grand Final.
Congratulations to Geelong and St. Kilda on making it to the 2009 AFL Grand Final this Saturday 26th of September.
After St. Kilda beat the Western Bulldogs on Friday night and Geelong beat the Collingwood Magpies on Saturday night the scene has been set for one of the most highly anticipated Grand Finals of all time.
Geelong seeking redemption after losing the unlosable 2008 Grand Final to Hawthorn will be keen to make amends, and after flogging the Maggies in the Preliminary final look as ready as they'll ever be.
St. Kilda have not won a Grand Final since their single premiership in 1966 and after going undefeated for 19 rounds looks dead set certainties.
This is the first time that Geelong and St. Kilda have met in the Grand Final ever. Tickets for this Grand Final are at a premium. The only chance left for most people is to enter as many competitions as they can to win free AFL 2009 Grand Final tickets.
My Tips:
Winner: Geelong
Margin: 45 points.
First goal: Cameron Mooney.
Norm Smith: Gary Ablett.
Norm Smith Roughy: Tom Hawkins.
The Grand Final will be shown on Channel Ten this year.

Update: Gary Ablett injury sees him out for 2-3 weeks.
Cat fan's worst fears have been confirmed with Geelong staff today ruling out Gary Ablett for 2-3 games with a groin injury.
Full story from afl.com.au: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/76195/default.aspx
Well that's just great.
Hope no-one had too much cash on him for the Brownlow. I guess there'll be some more value in him yet.
As always I am certain that the club's claims that he will be back in 2-3 are vastly understated and that he will probably b back in 4-5 weeks.
Just as Ottens' injury was supposed to be 2-4 weeks and last year he was said to be ready to come back on in the last quarter of a VFL practice match only to be 2-3 weeks away for 9 weeks.

Video: Gary Ablett Jnr Vs Melbourne - World record fastest goal.
Here it is, video of the lightning fast goal kicked by Gary Ablett in the opening seconds of the game against Mebourne Round 6 2009.
Credit to Channel 7 for the footage and callisto150 for posting it to youtube.
I say it was 9 seconds, as that's when the ball crosses the line. Yet others may argue 13 seconds as thats when the umpire signalled it.
You've got to give it to the 9 second call. If the umpire didn't hear the all clear he could have taken an extra 10-20 seconds to get the confirmation and signal the goal. So 9 seconds it is.
Gary Ablett!!! You star!!!
