Game Day Collingwood v GWS Giants - Preliminary Finals — Sat 21 Sep, 4:35PM AEST, MCG

[bresker]

I hope lardcakes Demetriou is happy with this sterile snorefest. What a great atmosphere when one side doesn't have any fans. Feels like a round 11 game.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

MCG needs a roof. Absolute stinker of a game so far.

 

[Black Saab]

Free kicks:

Coll 15

GWS 8

Umps huge for the Pies in the first half.

 

[bullish23]

Great stuff. Really enjoying this. Josh Kelly has been pretty quiet throughout the finals. Needs to lift. Bobby Hill more clangers than possessions.

The big pat on the back one of the umps gave Buckley before the game was a little strange thou.

 

[Thought for Pause]

Look guys, the Neanderthal can count and quote stats without context.

You're right, the differential is understating the reality

 

[DirtySandman]

It started with two of the softest frees to Collingwood, but wow, some calls/non calls in that second quarter.

Even the commentators almost went mute during that ‘dangerous tackle’ unsure what to say about it.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Wowee high pressure stuff.

You have to suspect that week off will come in handy in the 2nd half for the Pies.

 

[Luv_our_club]

GWS really missing Greene. There only dangerous forward in the first half was Cameron.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

20-17 at HT in a prelim

Glad we made those rule changes

They are WoRKiNG PeRFEctlY!

Gws will pump Richmond but Collingwood will lose. Gws need to win this for all of Australia.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Whoever wins this today is gunna get pumped next week

Hopefully not

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Three clear free kicks for GWS within 20 metres of goal missed by the umps. Collingwood very lucky.

I live about 8kms north of the MCG and it is absolutely belting down. Going to be a war of attrition.

I reckon this has been a pretty enjoyable game. Especially if you're a Richmond supporter.

 

[Kram]

One of the most lacklustre prelims of recent times so far.

It's a great contest in a game most though would be a blowout, who cares if it's low scoring.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Whoever wins this today is gunna get pumped next week

Giants would get Greene, Cogs and maybe others back..

 

[citizen-erased]

France v argentina is a great spectacle

 

[biggiemediums]

Nah turn it up. If an incorrect decision has been made by the umpire, it should be over turned every day of the week. Take the black and white glasses off

If you read some further responses it has nothing to do with the team. I've said this in multiple games not including Pies ones. Not saying I'm correct, it's just my two cents!

Brad Scott likes this.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Free kicks:

Coll 15

GWS 8

Umps huge for the Pies in the first half.

Pies with about 6-7 REALLY dodgy ones and GWS with about 3 certainties missed.

PLUS Reid's blatant throw - that would get called in Auskick.

Maybe GWS should have appealed for a dangerous handball?

 

[Downhill Skier]

Don’t normally comment on the Umps but this is the second time in a prelim GWS have been playing against the other team plus the umps.

If Collingwood lose this it will be the biggest choke of all time

 

[biggiemediums]

Think most people would prefer they are correct.

Reviews for most goals would take all of 3 seconds to confirm the goal

And that's why they will keep doing it, and I'll have to just accept it! I understand it - I realise my opinion is archaic and the minority. I'm okay with that.

 

[Damon_3388]

Sidebottom with the jacket on?

Just cold or injured?

Probably just keeping warm going into half time, given how bloody cold it'd be out there.

 

[carlton2dabone]

This is as close to a rugby game as AFL can get.

It’s literally been just a rolling maul over the entire ground.

 

[Maybenextyear]

Look guys, the Neanderthal can count and quote stats without context.

No just looking at the stats. Flogpies 14 GWS 8. Add in Cameron's obvious held jumper that doesn't get paid because.......well we will never know.
Truth hurts buddy.....chin up.

 

[Chaisa]

Josh Kelly has been pretty quiet throughout the finals. Needs to lift

He doesn't seem fully fit to me. That's making the Whitfield/Conigilo/Greene absences so much worse.

 

[CakeEater]

Whoever wins this today is gunna get pumped next week

Nah, the umpires always win......
