'We're all expecting a Collingwood-Richmond grand final'

Who will Matt de Boer tag when the Giants face the Pies this Saturday?

Who should Geelong use to keep Dustin Martin quiet on Friday night?

This week on The Age Real Footy Podcast, Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Caroline Wilson preview the preliminary finals and give their tips for the grand final match-up.

How will the sides line up? What ins and outs could we see? Will past clashes be much of an indicator or have much of an influence? How much of an impact could the pre-finals bye have?

Also this week, we look at Toby Greene's recent run of tribunal appearances and debate the two penalties handed to Greene across the two weeks. Why did the AFL only recommend a fine last week? Should the tribunal have insisted on a suspension?

Underlying all this discussion is the way the Giants play football and whether they, and Greene, overstep the mark. Does Greene need to play the way he does? How bad a look is it for the AFL?

We also take a look at the Lions, and the verdict is that they blew a "golden opportunity". With the lessons of the Demons' fall fresh in mind, will we be seeing movement in the trade period for the Brisbane club?

Plus, we talk trade targets. Is Tim Kelly headed to West Coast? Where will Joe Daniher end up? Which players will Carlton land? All this plus Luke Hodge's future in the game, who could coach Adelaide next season and much more.
