Dressed in the traditional black and white scarf of the Collingwood Football Club, one wonders this early Saturday morning whether Eliza is predicting the winner of the year's Grand Final or simply showing her allegiance to the Magpies. In a much anticipated match between Collingwood and St. Kilda, Eliza proved to be neither right nor wrong...the Grand Final ended in a tie for the first time since 1977 and only the third time in history.
According to AFL rules, the game is to be replayed in a week's time (2.10.2010), causing intense debate around Australia. Are the AFL rules outdated, footie fans question? How has the Grand Final tie ruined your life, radio shows asked? Will the Saints' second half comeback give them the confidence to come out blazing in Grand Final #2? Only time will tell, and I am anxious to see if Eliza has a preference come Saturday.
