Brad and Chris Scott are poised for a battle of the coach’s box in tonight’s big Semi Final clash at the home of football. The pair made history by becoming the first twins to coach opposing AFL teams, so naturally they’re making history again tonight by being the first to coach against each other in a final.

Geelong’s Chris Scott is currently leading the stakes with a 4-2 record, with Geelong winning both clashes against North Melbourne this year.

But North Melbourne will be full of confidence and raring to go, after overcoming Essendon in sensational fashion last week. The Kangaroos were down by 33 points early in the third term, but heroics from youngster Ben Brown and power forward Drew Petrie, late in the game, saw the Roos overcome the Bombers.

The match tonight will serve as a comeback for favourite son Brent Harvey, who will make his return after a three match suspension.

Following the win last week, coach Brad Scott said that ‘Boomer’ was relieved to be given the opportunity to make amends after his suspension.

“I think he’s relieved and he gets the opportunity now to repay his teammates and repay his club.”

“There aren’t too many players in my experience who come back better after a spell than Boomer.”

Geelong come into this game after it’s disappointing loss to arch-rival Hawthorn last week, which may have signified the end of its dominance over the Hawks.

In Semi Final two, tomorrow night, Fremantle hosts Port Adelaide at home, only two weeks after hosting the Power in the final round of the season. This may serve as the Power’s chance to seek revenge on Fremantle, having missed out on the illustrious double chance, following that loss two weeks ago. If judged on last week’s form alone it’s very hard to go past a rampant Port Adelaide.

In an absolute rort at Adelaide Oval, the Power brought Richmond back down to earth, ending its nine game winning streak, and effectively its season. Once Port Adelaide got its run on there was little the Tigers could do but, much like the boisterous Power faithful, sit back and watch as the Power got its famous run on.

Following the 57 point win, Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley said the team holds no fears travelling to Perth.

“Freo are an amazing side and I love the way they play, I love the way they’re coached. I know we’re going to go over there and give a real good account of ourselves, though,” he said.

“We certainly don’t go over there with too many fears, we go over there with a bit of freedom to be able to play the game.”

Fremantle come into this one after a disappointing loss to Sydney, but can lay claim to a second consecutive preliminary final showing if it can overcome the Power at home tomorrow night.

The winner of Geelong vs North Melbourne will meet Sydney next Friday at ANZ Stadium, for a chance to square off in the Grand Final, whilst the winner of Fremantle vs Port Adelaide will meet Hawthorn at the MCG next Saturday.
