Jarryd Barca
Season total: 156
Certainty and why: These are both genuine 50-50s but Geelong is the best team in it. As much as I'm loving the way the Hawks are playing, I have to stick with the Cats.
Upset and why: I tipped a Geelong-Brisbane grand final before the finals started so I can't go against my word, even though it wouldn't shock me to see the Pies not only win but win well...

Season total: 153
Certainty and why: Geelong has probably been the best team all season and deserve a spot in the Grand Final.
Upset and why: A real toss of the coin battle, but despite their week 1 finals loss, the Lions' end of season form has been stronger than Collingwood's.
