It'll be Geelong vs Collingwood and Port Adelaide vs the Kangaroos next week in the AFL. Geelong and Port each had the week off after winning in last weeks round, while the Kanga's had to bounce back from a first round loss to keep rolling in the AFL finals. Bounce back they did as they took out Hawthorne 14.9(93) to 8.12(60) to earn their shot at the PA Power. Meanwhile, the Magpies keep rolling with their 13.15(93) to 10.14(74) extra time win over West Coast. Collingwood bounced the reigning league Champs a week after taking down Sydney who won it all in '05 and came up one point shy last year.
So next weeks matches have a few interesting story lines: Can Collingwood keep the swagger needed to knock off this year's favorite, Geelong, and make it 3 top teems in as many weeks? And just how many people will pack into the MCG for this game? 100,000?
Over at AAMI Stadium Port Adelaide fans have to wonder which side they will be facing. The one who played inspired footy to beet the Eagles, or they one who looked positively lackluster in their 103 point thrashing at the hands of The Cats. If The Kangaroos can pull another upset we will be assured of a Victorian champ for the first time in 8 years. Check AFL.com.au for game times and tune in on the net, like your old pal Greazy does.
