2010 AFL grand final re-match: Collingwood versus St Kilda

Collingwood's Darren jolly and St Kilda's Jason Blake Contest the ruck during the 2010 Toyota AFL Grand Final between the Collingwood Magpies and the St Kilda Saints at the MCG, Melbourne.

Here we go again. Collingwood and St Kilda are today set to do battle in just the third replay in grand final history. Join other Roar readers here from the opening bounce at 2.30pm to discuss all the action.

While last week’s game ended with scores level at 68 apiece, there will definitely be a result today as the AFL have committed to extra time in the (unlikely) event we get another draw.

That means that come tonight, Collingwood will have won their first premiership since 1990 or St Kilda will have broken their massive 44-year drought.

Both sides will be looking to atone for their mistakes last week, and there will also be a lot riding on players backing up from strong performances.

Can Nathan Brown contain Nick Riewoldt for a second time? Will Lenny Hayes and Brendon Goddard outclass Dane Swan and Scott Pendlebury again? Can Nick Dal Santo have a big game this time? Will the Pies’ goal kicking be an issue again?

All these questions and the biggest one of all, that of who will be the 2010 AFL premiers, will be answered today.
