AFL Finals Preview

St Kilda: Had a couple of wobbles in August but am expecting them to be the force that Hawthorn were at this time last year.
Geelong: Like the Bombers of 1999-2001, might go down in history as winning only one flag over a dominant era.
Western Bulldogs: Running into prime form at the right time and may provide the Saints with their biggest test on the last Saturday in September.
Collingwood: Confess to underestimating them all year but still don't think they're good enough. Saints might teach them a footballing lesson on Sunday.
Adelaide: Only side outside Top 4 with any sort of chance. I pick them to beat the Pies next week after yesterday's thrashing of the Bombers.
Brisbane: Injuries might wreck their chances of beating the Blues.
Carlton: Might get lucky with the Lions' injuries but can't see them winning in Week 2.
Essendon: Injuries and suspensions didn't help but doubt that would've mattered in the end against rampant Crows.

Grand Final Prediction: Saints to beat Bulldogs in thriller.
