Finals Week 2
Play #1 - Geelong -7.5, $2.00 X 2 units (Topsport)
Taking advantage of the early $2 line. Geelong come into this match off a somewhat competitive match against the hawks, while the roos fought hard to sneak past the bombers. The more telling game for me was that of the roos and bombers. Essendon were able to get well on top and should not have lost the lead they have - they crumbled when momentum went against them. The roos don't posses a purely skilled team that can dominate a final, but showed they are capable of playing in patches. The fact that the bombers wilted under the pressure was telling, as the pressure was a notch lower than in the game that Geelong was able to hang in for, for at least a half. Geelong will not let up with their pressure, nor will they allow a side to control the game with a run of such momentum. They have the experience to slow the game when required. History already suggests it is difficult for sides outside the top 4 to make the prelims. I don't see the roos as being a side which is capable of breaking such a trend, particularly not against the team they will be facing.
