Aussie Rules hold their Super Bowl tonight.
2nd straight year, it will be the Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles going up vs. each other.
Pinnacle Sports have the Eagles a 4.5 point favorite.
Pick: Swans go back-to-back.

Im going to disagree with you on this one
5 * West Coast v Sydney - West Coast to win @ $1.67
Firstly odds for West Coast have dropped from $1.75 earlier this week to the current price i got it at 1.67 and there are reasons for this.
Last year Sydney were lucky to escape with the win the Eagles had played bad at the MCG all year long its like their hoodoo ground also the brownlow went to Ben Cousins Sydney were lucky that Leo Barry has a good pair of hands.
West Coast have the best midfield in the gameAif they break away from the sydney style of play of holding the ball up and tackling hard they will have this game won by half time. One of the biggest stats though is the last time a team who wasnt Brisbane won after having a player winning the brownlow in the same week was back in 1993 when Essendon had Gavin Wangeneen win it, lots of teams slip up when this happens.
Goodes won it this week, from Sydney it will be more important that you expect, also West Coast needs this win to prove they arent chockers and remember Sydney was very lucky to escape with the 1 point win at Subiaco in the final series. West Coast will get over the Hoodoo and prove they are the champion team with the champion players.
Sydney wont go back to back Crouch is injured who is arguably the best tagger in the game. No Ball this year, due to retirement whoever gets the most centre breaks will win. West Coast have talent and talent will get them here.
With the likes of Ben Cousins, Chris Judd, Daniel Kerr and Dean Cox working the centre bounces its hard to go past them, they have grown this year and are ready to make the final step to grand final glory.
Sydney capitalised on their only chance for 3 years last year, this year they will not be holding the cup it will be the Eagles.
West Coast will win due to times change and players retire they have the run and should be powerful. Go Get them Eagles.
btw - please dont call it a superbowl.

What a close game, 1 point victory to the West Coast - hopefully the bloke who started the thread went for the point line instead of the line. Then it will be wins all round. Fantastic game of football to watch.
That makes me 2-0-0 in the AFL Finals Series.

I just pick him. But, I would've gone for the pointspread, which would've netted me the cover.
Congrats Eagles.
