Game Day 2023 Grand Final : Pies v Lions

[Rich]

Brayshaw is ****ing hideous

 

[grumbleguts]

This is the first time Bobby Hill has kicked 4 in a game. Not a bad time to pull out a PB!

I couldn't think of a worse time for a Collingwood player to pull out a PB.

 

[Billyc]

Hard to remember a better half of footy than that. Amazing game so far

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Don't think Brisbane are playing that well tbh.
Hopefully they turn it around and go bang.

Also, as good as Daicos is, he is a diving squib

 

[BobHawk]

Good quarter from Tom Mitchell. Has given Collingwood a lot of drive out of the packs.

 

[peetoo]

Lauding naicos for that. When he sidey and jdg combine they should win the footy

 

[TFFM]

Its been a great game so far.

 

[Cleavy]

2 after the siren goals might prove the difference. I hope not.

 

[kirbatron]

3 red time sausages. not good enough

Taking really good options. He was huge in 2016 gf too

He needs to do more of that and less playing for free kicks.

Hawthorn could have taken either of them.

 

[peetoo]

He’s a better actor than the other players who’ve done it

 

[SSSSSS]

Bobby is having a special day.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Taking really good options. He was huge in 2016 gf too

Played a massive game in 2016, that’s why I was so excited when we got him over to the Hawks based on that oneperformance.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Feeling like the 08 grand final. Collingwood (geelong) with most of the play but only a narrow lead at most, against the challenger (brisbane) who has had far less of it, but making the most of limited opportunities

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

9 goals 9 kicked in a half by possibly the worst forward line to ever play a grand final! Lions backline in disarray or lack of pressure coming forward. Lions midfield terribly disappointing.

In fairness, the pies have nailed a few decent long bombs that normally don't come off

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Brings me back to the 2007 season or thereabouts. Channel 10 made so much out of this song.

 

[TazHawk15]

We are a 5 goal better side than both these teams.

Oh wait.

 

[PT Bar None]

Does anyone know who this trumpet player is?

Looks very familiar but can't place him. Rob someone?

 

[H00t]

He’s a better actor than the other players who’ve done it

He’s a lot subtler than Ginnivan and the others that do it.

He’s good enough that he doesn’t need to do it though. Will be interesting to see if he stops doing it as he keeps filling out or whether it becomes ingrained.

As long as the umps keep paying it , he will keep doing it

 

[Kuuz]

Great final so far - close and a pure shootout at points.

Was worried it was going to be a dour defensive game, but great to see the offence driving the game - especially seeing as both sides have defined themselves this year for their attack.

Hope the second half continues the high scoring

If the Lions tighten up their defensive zone and get on top in the midfield, they should win. Collingwood's ball movement hasn't been under enough duress. They've played their best footy, whereas Bris have sizeable improvement in them.
