What a breathtaking weekend weve all just witnessed. The week off proved costly for both Geelong and GWS as Sydney and the Western Bulldogs booked their spot in the Grand Final.Sydney flew out of the blocks against the Cats and after quarter time the game was effectively over.The second preliminary final was the polar opposite. The Giants and Dogs were locked in a heavyweight fight from the very first bounce.Sydney will be looking for their second premiership in five seasons whilst the Bulldogs will be hoping to claim their first in more than 50 years.Its the time of year weve all been waiting for and come Saturday, well have one team left standing atop the rest.HeroesClay Smith (WB)After a horror run with knee injuries, Smith could now be the X-Factor that delivers the Bulldogs their drought-breaking premiership. He was instrumental in the preliminary final with 26 disposals and four goals to fire the Dogs home for their second and most important away win this finals series.Smith dedicated his stellar performance?to a close friend who had died in the week leading up to the final. The entire Bulldogs outfit have proved theyre made of the right stuff as theyve defied all odds on their journey this season.They will be looking to ride this emotional high for 4 more quarters, coupled with the majority of neutral support in their corner, it could elevate Luke Beveridge and his men into footy folklore..Jobe WatsonIt was wonderful to see the smiling Essendon champion in such a good space announcing his return to the game.Whether the Brownlow medal remains his to keep or not, the coveted award doesnt define Watson. Having had to endure the last 4 years as the face of a playing group under fire from the supplements scandal, Watson deserves some joy in this game we all love.Sporting a cap branding Feminist in support of workplace equality, Watson gave Essendon supporters their final piece of the puzzle and the club now goes in with confidence to the 2017 season.Sydneys electric small forwardsTom Papley, Ben McGlynn and Gary Rohan provided the spark and applied incredible amounts of pressure inside forward 50 against the Cats.Much of the talk in the lead up to the AFL Grand Final will centre around Buddy Franklin and what he can do on the big stage, in what will be his fifth Grand final appearance, but the efforts of these three may just define the result.Papley has been an inspired rookie elevation, having proven he is capable of kicking important goals or laying a team lifting tackle in the big moments.McGlynn has returned to his best after an indifferent season while Rohan was influential in the prelim just 6 days after being carted off the SCG on a stretcher.VillainsCats PassengersThe midfield maestros in Patrick Dangerfield (39 disposals), Joel Selwood (39 disposals) and Jimmy Bartel (26 disposals, 1 goal) were all terrific and led from the front but in big games you need your 22 all contributing and playing their role.Unfortunately for Geelong, Friday nights clash against Sydney highlighted a lack of midfield depth and a reliance on the stars to drag them across the line.The Cats were outhunted and outmuscled by the Swans from the opening bounce as they slammed on 7 goals in the first term that took the game away from their opponents.It was a big return to finals football this season for Geelong, however, with too much left to too few the Cats need to find a more even spread and that may start by making some tough list-management decisions in the coming off season.Jeremy CameronAfter running the Swans ragged in the semifinal, Jeremy Cameron was expected to make a big impact against the Dogs. Fletcher Roberts had his measure all night and held Cameron to just 5 disposals and no marks inside 50.Cameron failed to kick a major or make any impact in the clash at Spotless stadium that ended the Giants golden opportunity to make the big one in just their 5th year.Jonathan Patton (4 goals) and Rory Lobb (3 goals) took further steps forward and provided the Giants with a target, but Cameron needs to find a way to get involved whether thats through pressure at ground level or a better contest in the air.Statistical AnomalyWhen a side has 32 more inside 50s than their opponent, it would normally translate to scoreboard pressure and a winning result.But for Geelong the inefficiency of those entries played a major part in Sydney advancing to the Grand Final.The Cats were forced into rushed shots on goal and failed to have any meaningful, deep entries.Dane Rampe and Heath Grundy defended brilliantly and set in motion the Swans rebound out of the back half through players such as Zac Jones, thanks to their intercepts and spoils.

Will Genia and Quade Cooper showcased their attacking flair to guide the Wallabies to a 36-20 bonus-point win over Argentina in the Rugby Championship Test at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday.Genia was influential throughout, scoring two tries in a man-of-the-match performance, while Cooper set up two tries with beautiful inside passes that cracked open Argentinas defence. The fly-halfs good work was overshadowed somewhat, however, by his ill-disciplined shoulder charge in the 66th minute, when he was handed a yellow card after collecting Argentinas flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez with an off-the-ball no-arms tackle.The Wallabies scored two early tries in their 29-15 win over Argentina in the 2015 Rugby World Cup semi-final, and they went on another early rampage in Perth - posting three tries in the opening 12 minutes, and finishing with five to delight the vast majority of the 16,202 fans on hand.Outside centre Samu Kerevi started the onslaught, touching down after just 43 seconds following a scuffed clearance kick from Argentina.Hometown hero Dane Haylett-Petty was the next to score, after a well-worked lineout and a nice inside pass from Cooper, and the score was 21-0 after 12 minutes following somee magic from Genia.ddddddddddddThe scrum-half unleashed a heavy tackle to knock the ball loose from Sanchez before soccering the ball forward, and he outsprinted Pumas counterpart Tomas Cubelli to collect the ball and crash over the line.Argentina worked themselves into the game, dominating territory and possession but two penalties were all they could muster and the Wallabies, for whom Scott Sio was sin-binned in the 33rd minute, for foul play, went to the break with a 21-6 lead.Pumas winger Santiago Cordero scored in the 44th minute to jangle the Wallabies nerves, but Sean McMahon, a 36th-minute for David Pocock, dispelled any thoughts of a boilover when he bounced off four defenders to set up Genia for his second try in the 52nd minute.Cooper then unleashed a no-look inside ball to set up Michael Hoopers try in the 64th minute, and the game was as good as over with the margin blowing out to 20 points.Facundo Isa scored Argentinas second try in the closing stages, but that was as close as the visitors would get and the Wallabies moved to second place on the ladder.
