Issue was clearly our lack of KPD.
We’ve kicked the same amount of goals as a team with 2 quality key forwards. Our forward line is fine imo.

That drop mark in the goal square through.. boy o boy...
Eh fair play to Cox, he battled back pretty well in the 2nd half since he had a stinker in the 1st half. Still reckon Mike Pyke has his measure quite comfortably.
Darling had a great second half after shit first half too.
Eagles owned the air. Oh, the what ifs for Nafan if he had the courage to play someone with more size on Kennedy.... Hello Darcy Moore... Fortune favours the brave. You got to take risks sometimes in order to win. Selection table was too safe.

No. That doesn't make any sense. Read what you're writing.
What you're saying should then translate to West Coast are lucky Collingwood made the Grand Final.
Make sense?
And in any Case Collingwood were not lucky to even make the Grand Final. They deserved it by smashing Richmond.
And Richmond were no guarantee to beat West Coast.
Oh yeah that was a shocker. Other than that though he was huge. But yeah could have dropped the flag!!
Most of the rules are up to interpretation or the discretion of the umpires.
So how far are you allowed to throw the ball out in front of you before you kick it? How high?
Why can't you throw a ball over an opponents head and run past and kick it? Nothing states you can;t do that either.
Don't get me wrong, it was an amazing peace of play and an ingenious goal so good luck to him.
Just going forward I wouldn't want this type of play to set a precedent.

Eagles did to Collingwood what they seem to do to us all the time. At least Pies didnt lead for 100% of the game and lose I guess.
Was bad but was impressed he followed up and keep ball in their forward line. If he allowed it out of there, whole different story.

Wonder how Docker fans are coping in Perth right now?
What a game, best GF since 2012 and probably the best come from behind win I've seen since 97 and 84.
Eagles showed a lot of grit to fight back after an awful start and memories of 2015.
Normally I hate the Pies on the field but I actually feel gutted for them and Buckley.
Neither team deserved to lose but this will be the first granny in quite a while in which I'll watch the replay a few times. Both teams did themselves proud IMO

Josh Thomas ruffing up the eagles players hair after a goal in that first quarter.
Might want to make sure of the result before doing that kind of stuff
In a way they must be expecting it by now;
2002 GF (~one goal in it at 3 qtr time)
2007 PF (~one goal in it at 3 qtr time)
2010 GF (~one goal in it at 3 qtr time)
2011 GF (~one goal in it at 3 qtr time)
2018 GF (draw at 3 qtr time)
It must be hard to watch...
Wasn't it the 28th? What is it with them and grand final failures? Lol.
Football was the winner today.

Ummm, it makes perfect sense mate. Collingwood lost to Richmond twice this year and beat them once. They were lucky to get in the GF, and Richmond would have easily beaten WC at the G. Sorry. But you were very brave as usual

West coast kicked the first 4 in 1991 but I think 5 is the rarefied air of Collingwood.

All those naysayers about the only true sport left in the world. They were all proven wrong. AFL won.

Great Game and congrats to West Coast. Incredible finish and Shuey was the difference when it counted.
One of those games where both teams really deserved to win but unfortunately can only be one
Gotta feel for Collingwood, played well all game and just got pipped at the the post. Heartbroken for Buckley, easily my favourite coach and would've been thrilled for him to win. Feel absolutely awful for Woodward, not that he cost them the game but he was clearly affected after the game. Fantastic year by them and can't thank them enough for putting Richmond back in their box, will be forever grateful.
Chins up and come back bigger and better next year.

I would be willing to cough up CEllis + 4th rounder for Collingwoods runner.
