AFL Grand Final AFL 2022 Grand Final - Cats vs Swans Sat Sept 24th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[SBD Gonzalez]

Going exactly as expected, Collingwood were always going to make it a far better grand final.

Sydney, you pathetic flog

Yeah, just think, all they had to do was be better than Sydney when a GF spot was on the line. Funny it didn't occur to them.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Says the clown act that reckons the Swans have a bad GF record.

Did you fall off your polo pony and bang your head?

We don't have a bad BF record, we have a schittehouse GF record.

We don't have a bad BF record, we have a schittehouse GF record.

Clearly 2 out of 5 in the last 20 years ( and 1 of the 3 losses has an *) is better than a lot -

Or do I need to quote Collingwoods win/loss over the last 50 years....why not...2 from 12.

Be thankful.

Collingwood have lost more GFs total, but our GF win/loss ratio is worse than theirs. The answer to who has the worst GF record is “line ball” I’m afraid.

The game was over 15 mins into the first quarter. Shouldn’t take anything away from Geelong, but Sydney didn’t deserve to be there. They got lucky. You did make your own luck but with Melbourne folding and the Pies losing by a kick against the umpires and SCG bias, this was what happened. Geelong fans would have preferred a decent team against them too.

All I kept hearing all week was “the 2 best teams are in it”.
It was literally said by everyone.
So yes, they deserved to be there. They earned the right by finishing 3rd and winning 2 finals.
Don’t forget they were on a 9 game winning streak heading into the game.

They got demolished early then lost their spirit when they knew it was a lost cause.
It happens in Grand Finals. There is literally nothing to play for when you’re getting smashed. No next week. Nothing.

Exactly this, it was a shock to see what happened to Sydney, they were talked up as a worthy opponent albeit the underdog all week. Geelong played their best game all year, you can't take that away from them.

thanks for reminding me of that too

On the positive, at least you don’t have the record for the biggest loss in a grand final by a Sydney team.

The only reason I kept watching after the first few minutes of the 3rd Q was to see if the cats could one up 119.

Thank christ

If they gave up as you say, then that doesn't bode well going forward for them, they could give up at any time.

The same could be said the week before, Collingwood were getting smashed and had nothing to play for the next week if they lost, but they kept trying and nearly won the game.

My take is Sydney were done, it showed the week before, they were finished.

Selwoods last game it seems

With no posts since Wednesday, let's consign this, the third and final Covid Cup game, to history. Never to be mentioned again.

Agreed?

[Ginnieboy]

great comeback. trying to deflect my point by changing the subject and talking about my own team like I care.

We're so bad that we're 3rd favourites for next years flag and you're 5th fav....

Like you were favourites the last 4 times we’ve played?

Watching the replay in my offtime, how sweet it is.

In terms of corruption, injustice and tribalism we really haven't moved much beyond the Roman Colosseum.

 

[Shai]

No, you w***er. Sel was not looking for the 'slide up', he was playing the game as he always has.

Nothing more says TEAM for me than the Parfitt and Sam De Koning goals.
