Sport: AFL Market: Port Adelaide @ Geelong Cats Pick: Cats -28 ½ points Odds: $1.93 Agency: Bet365 Wager: 3 Units Analysis: It took two major upsets last weekend, with Geelong going down to Fremantle and Port Adelaide toppling Collingwood, to create this unexpected semi-final match-up. This will be the first time that the Cats and Power have met in a final since the 2007 Grand Final, which Geelong won by 119 points. Although a closer contest is expected this time around, the Cats will go in as red-hot favourites, and recent form is certainly on their side. Geelong has not lost to Port since round 21, 2007. Geelong has lost its past two finals, both to Fremantle. The Cats haven’t lost three consecutive finals since the period between 1997 and 2004. Last weekend Port recorded its first finals victory since the 2007 preliminary final. If Geelong wins it will reach its sixth preliminary final in seven seasons. It has been a wonderful ride for Port and the new admin and coach should be very proud, but it finishes here. The Cats got a reality check last week and even without Enright they are expected to not only win, but make a big bold statement to say they are still in this competition and very much a contender. Let’s not forget they have won 9 in a row against Port, including 5 matches by over 40 points. The Cats have had the Power’s measure in recent times and we think their finals experience will hold them in good stead for this one. Take the cats -28 ½ points in this one. Sport: AFL Market: Port Adelaide @ Geelong Cats Pick: Cats Wire to wire (leading at end of every qtr) Odds: $1.90 Agency: Betfair Wager: 2 Units Analysis: The Cats will be come out breathing fire in this one after losing last week. We think they’ll get on top early and not take the foot off. The Power have been poor against top 8 teams and apart from their win last week over the Pies, have struggled to kick a winning score against the better defences. Take the Cats wire to wire in this one. #EasyMoney
