Magpies Have The Psychological Edge For This Weeks 2nd Grand Final - Good Call Bad Call?

Bad call , i think Saints in box seat . Collingwood started hot favorites in first Grand Final and failed to put the Saints away must start 50/50 at best now and knowing StKilda finished all over them in last 2 quarters wouldnt help the mind set .

Bad Call.

We came back from four goals down to eventually hit the front late in the fourth quarter. I think the Pies missed their opportunities to put us away early in the game and surely they must be wondering what they have to do to go one better on Saturday.

Either way, I believe it will not be a close game.

Good Call.

I think Mick does a great job maintaining players mentality which his record shows when he took an average side into back2back grand finals and has now got this young side to finish on top of the ladder this year.

IMHO StKilda played better than Collingwood and still couldn't get over the line.. the only thing that could have been better for StKilda is Nick Riewoldt. StKilda showed their hand on the weekend and not winning a premiership after 2 very close grand finals would be more psychologically straining than not kicking straight!

This is the one I agree with ... combined with the fact that St Kilda biggest advantage "the hurt factor" from that years loss to Geelong is now gone.

But I could easily be wrong.

I don't think either team has an advantage based on the draw.

There's no doubt in my mind Collingwood should have one that game in the first half but they didn't. The Saints showed tru grit in the second half - and a player down.

The loser of this game would have not won any of their last 4 grand finals they have played in!!!

My tip - The Colliwobbles are a tru force - Saints by 27+

IMHO this was a massive under-rated factor by Saints. Football these days is as much what you do between the ears as its is how you can deliver the ball.
