'Kennett's Curse' is an infamous part of the AFL vernacular and, while the ex-Victorian Premier has long moved on from presidency at the Hawks, the term is still raised regularly.
So, will the jinx rear its ugly head in tonight's qualifying final at the MCG? Punters can't decide - in a very big betting game, the ratio of bets is split 50/50, straight down the middle.
"Hawthorn have beaten Geelong in four of their last five encounters, but when they met earlier in the season, Paddy Dangerfield racked up a record 43 disposals to see the Cats home," UBET spokesperson Gerard Daffy said.
"He's a lock for the Brownlow, comes into the finals in terrific form and could be the difference again."
Geelong are $1.65, 6.5-point favourites with UBET, with Hawthorn priced at $2.27.
