Finals are an amazing thing with reputations made:
Brereton, Hopkins, Shaw, Cresswell (just my opinion
), Daicos, Ablett and co all conjuring spirit, the likes rarely seen in the H&A season.
Paul Roos and Leigh Matthews will say that finals are just another game and it's ridiculous to think that people lift, grow an extra leg or whatever, but it is undeniable, if you don't lift for finals (the reason you play at all), then you're not human.
Who will UNEXPECTEDLY lift for Sydney, more importantly, who does Sydney need something special from? Who have you got your eye on that can lay that brilliant tackle in the forward line to create that winning goal, who will take that heart stopping defensive mark in the backline?
My 3 BIG GAME players will be:
* GOODES: Has been close to hopeless for 3 weeks. Lifted bigtime at AAMI in 2003. Will be disappointed by the past few weeks and the means a heck of a lot to him.
* BALL: When JB fires, we generally win. Marks well, rucks well, smarter than most in general play. Knows Subi like no other and this is his last chance at some more premiership glory.
* KENNELLY: Not known for his bravery but could emerge as a Daicos type. Subi has to suit his running game and we need it. 4 of those runs in a quarter for 4 quarters would be enough to earn us a week off.
Who do YOU think will make their reputation on Friday night??
