Lenny Hayes won just Norm Smith medal in each other's Grand Final AFL tipping competition. Can not believe that Goddard did not win after such a great game we had him as the best in the land of Contestedfooty but Hayes remains a deserving winner!
This is a wonderful scene, incredible to watch. The players do not know how to react, Goddard would have been Norm Smith Medal, but the whole thing is nothing now to the law that needs to come back next week and do it again. This is almost as good as when I won the NRL footy tipping competition in the office.
The move is a reality, locking it in Eddie. Collingwood St Kilda 9.14.68 to 10.8.68. What a football game you could not have script it better if you were a neutral supporter or even an NRL tipping supporter. It transcends codes.
24 seconds St Kilda had a chance to score. The ball on the center wing
54 seconds left the score level
29th minute - feature is ON, 1 minute and 30 to go. Behind the Saints
27th Minute - Brown marks 49 out, need to score, running in, but played a good journey over the border.
26th Minute - Cloke has kicked a goal, is Collingwood leading by one point deep into the final term 3.25 of actual game time to go.
Maxwell huge brand but none Goddard!
23rd Minute - Brown with Mod fantastic brand. This game is not over!
21st Minute - Cloke to make its mark on the game, this to get Collingwood back to level, anchor, does not distance, rushed behind St Kilda with 5 points.
19th Minute - GODDDDDDARD mark of the century, forget about Leo Barry Goddard takes a spectacular mark and ending with a great goal. St Kilda lead with a goal.
18th Minute - Riewoldt dribble the ball towards goal, the Maxwell concerns it on the line, 12 minutes, and nothing separates the two teams.
Crowd - 100 016 massive crowd in a big game
15 minutes - Milne, known as the tip of the rat has kicked another for the Saints. 1 point in it now Collingwood's just struggling to get their hands on the ball.
13 minutes - Hayes from 52 yards has kicked a huge goal. 7 points in it with the Saints still alive in a game so far!
11 minutes - Robert Eddy line up from a tough angle, hits for 13 points in the Collingwood senior.
8th Minute - Neon Leon Davis kicked his first goal for the final term to extend the lead to 14 points.
4 minutes for no points so far. The game has slowed up, Fisher has a good game, St Kilda, the first and you can see them run over top of pies.
04:42 - This is the last semester is upon us. 8 points in the here we go
It's the third term, St Kilda was fantastic during the quarter and sit in an arm's reach of a premiership win. Collingwood has made the most of opportunities and right now they are fighting. We are set for a good final semester.
Best on ground votes from the third quarter:
Brent - 3. Goddard 2nd Hayes first Maxwell
Ben - 3.Goddard second Thomas first Hayes
Christine - 3. Hayes second Goddard first Maxwell
Luke - 3. Goddard 2nd Thomas first Maxwell
Goddard 24 votes, 11 votes Maxwell Thomas 13 votes, Pendelbury 8 votes, didactic 6 votes, Hayes 6 votes, Fisher two voices and one voice Gwilt.
29th minute - Blair has the opportunity to kick against the flow. Hits mail, another provider of Collingwood this may come back to bite them.
27th Minute - Peak with a jump shot on goal. 7.5.47 is now the Saints trailing by seven points. Controlling the play at that time.
22nd Minute - Thomas kicks a behind had more time than he thought. Collingwood moving along to 7:12:54 to St Kilda 7.4.46
21st Minute - Gilbert kicks are great goals, this game properly life! 7 points difference and St Kilda will. Collingwood 7:11:53 to St Kilda - 7.4.46
17th Minute - RIEWOLDT strong contested mark but missed shots on goal. 13 points of difference now that St Kilda starts pressing.
16th minute - Goddard takes a brilliant mark 15 yards from the finish line. Kicks goal to put St Kilda back within 14 points. For every attack from Collingwood, St Kilda is well and truly still in this competition.
Downtime is currently the order of the day. None of the teams have the opportunity to break free.
10 minutes - Cloke queue from 50 yards out from a very acute angle. This is his second goal, will not trip and Collingwood, another rushed behind.
9th Minute - Another behind the Collingwood, 7:10:52. As we know from past bad kick can cost teams in big games.
4th Minute - Nick Riewoldt queue for his second goal from 25 yards out. Kick the target and the Saints fifth goal. Much needed for the Saints and also the game itself. St Kilda 5.3.33 to 7.9.51 Collingwood. Major works of the Kosi to get it to Roo.
2nd Minute - Tumbling ball towards the goal of Collingwood, doors just could not get up to the ball. Collingwood move on to 51 points.
1st Minute - Dal Santo goes for soccer, touched the St Kilda move on 4.3.27 to 7.8.50 Collingwood
04:04 - The second half is about to begin, St Kilda to come back into the contest?
An update on the game so far, Collingwood provided the bulk of the attack in this game but do not currently make the most of opportunities and should be six goals clear. St Kilda must become more creative and take risks going forward.
For Norm Smith Voices from the second term,
Brent - 3. Maxwell, 2. Pendlebury first Gwilt
Ben - 3. Goddard 2nd Thomas first Maxwell
Christine -3. Maxwell 2nd Thomas first Goaddard
Luke - 3. Pendlebury second Maxwell first Goddard
Goddard 13 votes, 9 votes Maxwell, Thomas 9 votes, Pendelbury 8 votes, didactic 6 votes, Fisher two voices and one voice Gwilt. So the moment of our calculation Goddard would be the best leader on the ground with Maxwell, Thomas and Pendlebury all in the race.
31st Minute - Cloke misses to the opposite side, one goal and two behinds for the game. It's the quarter Collingwood leading 7.8.50 to St Kilda 4.2.26

12 minutes - Kosi great goal from 50 yards out to get the margin to seven points. Can Kosi explode?

The game has now settled into a rhythm, both sides have calmed down, Collingwood again doing most of the attacking early in the quarter again.

2nd Minute - Cloke takes his first mark of the game, lining up from 20m out, will test his kicks, he is, the answer is yes. Collingwood get the first goal in the second term and leads Saints with two goals.
03:09 - Start of second quarter, the Saints can continue to control the game?
End of last semester. Collingwood 4.2 (26) - St Kilda 3.2 (20). The game has really tightened up after Collingwood was able to get an early jump.

Before the bounce, we give you our final thoughts about the big game.
Ben - Sticking with Collingwood to win by two goals, with Alan didactic to win the Norm Smith Medal.
Brent - Hard to go past Collingwood at this meeting, I would love to see St Kilda break their premiership drought, but I can not see them closing all Collingwood attacking options. Collingwood by 15 points with didactic to win the Norm Smith with 28 possessions and four goals.
Christine - knows her boys Collingwood has the ability to get over the line, but just hopes they can get the job done. Dane Swan to win the Norm Smith.
Luke - I hope the police are on high alert, enough said, really, with Brendon Goddard to win the Norm Smith in a losing team.
01:56 - AFL Premiership has just fallen from the sky in the middle of the MCG. Now we await the arrival of both teams on the hallowed turf.
