Interesting to note that CFC and GFC are the two grownups in the room despite their traditional rivalry and current bids for the 2019 flag. The scratch game, giving players who may be in contention for their respective clubs' next final game, was somewhat on the down low but also mutually...
Both our teams played an honest, hard fought game of footy. We got the jump in the first quarter and held on by the skin of our teeth in our scoreless last quarter.
Of course I, along with many other Pies supporters, will be barracking for the Cats against the Weagles. Our two great Victorian...
Not happy after seeing how low the Cats have kept the past three Pies scores. Hope Buckley - who is not the most lateral of thinkers - has finally figured out the solution to this problem for us.
It's been many decades since I've played a social or stood in the Outter in the wet and cold of a Melbourne winter. Checked out the 10 day forecast for back home and it predicts 50% scattered showers up to game day and 70% chance of showers during match time. So, will this be drizzle or fair...
This is a little more specific info regarding getting to the game:

Remembering Varcoe in the 2011 GF, I was chuffed to have him in Pies colours. He is a ripper! Love how he sets up fellow team mates to score. Both Elliott and Thomas benefit greatly from Varcoe's smarts.
If you'd like to join in SoCal GF festivities with a couple of hundred fellow Aussies why not hit the 405 South and make new friends. The beer is cold and the pizza hot.

Best 22 missing the finals:
Dunn
Langdon
Cox
Beams
Wells
Reid
Sier
Not a big fan of Langdon. His hesitancy with the ball slows us down when we should be transitioning into attack.
Off the field Sier is an undisciplined and foolish young buck, but so is Stephenson for that matter. JDG was also...
Curious as to how Cat supporters rate the other 7 finals teams as a threat in a GF. Who do you consider the greatest threat and then down the threat scale to the least dangerous team to face in a GF?
Alright. Let's see why the Pies have a chance of prevailing against this season's minor premiers.
The bye has worked in our favour. Not because of some superstitious rubbish but rather for the pragmatic reason that it bought us time for several key and dynamic players to heal. In fact don't be...
As an old timer who's probably too "soft" or sentimental for the modern game, I still cannot desist from the notion that the AFL and GFC and CFC should commemorate the great Polly Farmer before the first bounce at the MCG. It's the least that should be done for this great sportsman and Aussie...
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since Rd 1 for both teams so this one should be a ripper and the only close one of the weekend, IMO.
Mind games my Aunt Fannie.
The players and coaches are now in intense focus mode and don't have time for this crap.
Small wonder that supporters of all stripes have come to despise the media and it's hacks. By now it shouldn't surprise to see the ludicrous and malicious "put the mozz" piece about the Cats on the AFL website. It's up to the players and coaches who prevails on any given game day, not some...
Two good questions. JDG is turnkey. Never see anything like him in over 60 years. Stevo will probably not hit his straps until later in the finals. Now, quid pro quote: How is Hawkins travelling?
By way of explanation:
I'm a neophyte to the "social media" thing. Had no idea that the bloke who said "steady on" or words to that effect was a moderator on this board or that my banter was taken to be of a sinister nature. The reason I came to this site was to gather some objective intel on...
