As the penultimate week of the 2007 season approaches four teams are preparing themselves to win a place in this years Grand Final. The stage is set for the Cats and Magpies on Friday night with a sold out MCG playing host to this huge preliminary final. Can the giant killing Pies take their biggest scalp and knock over the almight Cats? Saturday afternoon sees Port Adelaide take on the Kangaroos in the second of the preliminary finals, this one at AAMI Stadium. Port Adelaide go in as hot favorites, but can the Roos surprise us once again?
