Game Day AFL Qualifying Final - Matchday Discussion Collingwood v Geelong(MCG – 7:50PM)

[Scritchyscroony]

I’m having anxiety issues about this match. So much at stake!! I So want us to do it for Pendles and also to shove it up Chrissy’s whiny little butt.
This is our only realistic shot at the big dance too imv.
It’ll be a close nail biter to top all of that off. Then the anxiety of watching Darcy and praying for no awareness. I’m gonna have to make a stop at Dan Murphy’S after work tonight to get through this.

1st quarter will be key, if we can win it or hold even I think we will win thus

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

If we bring it we will win.
A lazy 12 goals between Goo, Billy and Stevo!
Pendles to be BOG.
Wills will will us.
Noble character will iron Gryan (Did his parents get a fine for that or was it a typo?)
16.5.101 to 10.10.70... Chris Scott is a flog and his head will implode..
Carn the Pies!

 

[Kirby]

Do it for Pendles boys.

JDG to go "boom" and set off such a seismic blast of pure manhood that all women in attendance at the ground will fall pregnant, and all the ones already pregnant will now be carrying twins.

 

[unplugged]

Expecting an arm wrestle with a massive last ten minutes from us, where we'll blow them away.

 

[ThePhantom777]

How am I supposed to concentrate at work all day!? The nerves are already kicking in. We need to start well as mentioned above.

 

[caloschwaby]

Wills will will us.

Will Will willingly will us the will to win?

I'm starting drinking at 1pm.

I'm not sure I can hold on that long either!

 

[magpienato]

Don't want to be over confident; Geelong is a good team, however they have a had a form slump as of recently. Having said that I guess I am obliged to tip the pies so I'll say pies by 15

I’m warming to the idea.

I need to imitate a productive human until a bit later in the day, but I'll be compulsively eating throughout the day to facilitate an alcohol soaking this evening.

 

[SpongePie]

Game day! Go Pies!

(ps dont want to play WC next week, so hopefully we bloody win!)

 

[TheGreatSwan]

Chaos everywhere. Enter Scott Pendlebury.

 

[Mobbsy]

We really need to have the game iced 5-10 mins into the last
Don’t wanna give the sour faced whingers half a sniff
Then it’s party time and we can enjoy it

The Pittsburgh Steelers had their Immaculate Reception, so it could happen.

Chaos everywhere. Enter Scott Scott Pendlebury.

I know this is amazing, but he does it a couple of times a game.

He really is special our Pendles!

How was that article in The Age yesterday!

How does Scott Pendlebury stop time?

We explored the Collingwood veteran’s Matrix-like manoeuvres in this Explainer from 2019. Five years later, the now 36-year-old is still defying the passage of time.

www.theage.com.au

"He gives off subtle cues," says David Rath, the AFL's head of game analysis, a trained biomechanist and former Hawthorn coach and analyst, who likened Pendlebury's evasive talents to Cyril Rioli, except they involve less extravagant movements. "There's an economy to his moves."

The opposition does not want Pendlebury to "draw" players to him and then release a disposal to a teammate in dangerous space. Thus, as with the Essendon trio, players are sometimes reluctant to rush and tackle him. But, in turn, this holding off affords him more time to find a teammate. So, Pendlebury's reputation and the opposition's wariness of his talents arguably give him additional time.

Pretty well sums it up. We either see him hold onto the ball with space or he knows to get rid of it. Sounds simple, but he does it better than anyone in the league.

Don’t peak too early!

Don’t peak too early!

I peaked in 1989.

I've got my best snow gear out and I'm so pumped for the game tonight, so pumped!!!

 

[unplugged]

It was pretty well always known that the loser of this game would play the Eagles. Now that it's confirmed I feel like this game is even more important for both sides.

Huge opportunity here! Playing that extra final last year probably cost us in the end. Please win

Watching this reminds me of basketball (yes I know Pendles played basketball has been done to death, but it really does).

 

[Yidaki]

Genuine 50/50 here. If any fans are overconfident, then they should probably re-evaluate things. Both sides match up beautifully. Add to that the two best defences in the league and it should be a tight tussle all the way to the end. I'm heading into this one without expectations. Of course we can win this, but so can Geelong. Hopefully we win, because I reckon the Eagles will inflict straight sets on the loser. I always thought the Eagles were the flag favourites.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing spaceman again. Boy have I missed him.
