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

[SSwans2011]

Been lots of noise for the Giants, from the start of the game.

Yep, been pretty impressed TBH. Grand Final could be huge in terms of building their support base too.

 

[Coaster2012]

No doubt everyone will write off GWS again next week, but I dont know. Get Greene and Whitfield back and I feel like they could do it.

 

[Kram]

Have a drink every time they do a close up shot of Sad Eddie during the last quarter.

 

[KevDawg]

Umpires got the message from Gill.

Plastics to win from here.

And another GWS free. LMAO

Suddenly you can see the free kicks. Ha ha.

 

[NSWCROW]

BREEEEEEEATHE

 

[Nostradumbass]

Lol at the crowd

 

[smasha]

how come the commentators are so flat and salty ?

Because Richmond may win another flag next week.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Don’t deserve to win this at all. Incredibly dissapointing.

But, these umpires should NEVER umpire another game of football again. ******* disgusting.

Yes I agree.

The first half was disgraceful!

 

[SunshineBoy]

Degoey should be right for the grand final

 

[Demontim275]

Looking forward to seeing the Gil pay 2000 Random people to sing the gws song in an empty MCG.

EFA

 

[The Filth]

Callum Brown is almost as good a player as his dad.

Stop trolling dickhead

 

[Downhill Skier]

GWS finally got some luck from the umps that quarter but were good enough to turn it into a winning score. GWS will be very dangerous next week but they desperately need Davis fit

 

[demondavey]

The rule about no complaining about umpires ignored this evening ?

Yep

 

[Kanga Commando]

Looking forward to seeing the 2000 Giants supporters singing the song in an empty MCG.

Be careful what you wish for......

 

[Ray Donovan]

Pretty much mirrored what happened last time they played. Giants gameplan in general just ruffles the pies Leon Cameron take a bow.

They deserve this reward this Giants been banging on the door for a while and some pretty big ins next week if this continues

 

[TimmeT]

Don’t deserve to win this at all. Incredibly dissapointing.

But, these umpires should NEVER umpire another game of football again. ******* disgusting.

they seemed to be favoruing your magpies in the first two quarters...

 

[Shane Heard]

Game is not over yet

Lol

 

[Jeeves]

Incorrect. If he hasn't had prior opportunity he only needs to make a genuine attempt, regardless of whether it's successful or not. Read the rules. There’s no mention of a genuine attempt, which he didn’t do anyway.

If you think that was a genuine attempt then we’re watching different games. Dropped it like a hot spud when he was tackled.

Collingwoods best midfield of all time no where to be seen.

Treloar having an absolute stinker!

He's been as bad as rioli yesterday

 

[Foreign Legion]

The strippers at The Royal may as well pack up and go home

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Thought GWS went in way too tall. Thought Collingwood would have too much run for them. Hasn't happened at all.

Giants lead CP 127-100 and clearances 39-26, despite Grundy getting every hitout. Winning it at the source, getting territory and then locking it in. Really impressive performance from GWS. Collingwood haven't had many winners out there.

 

[gingernuts]

Did you watch the first half buddy?

no I didn't, probably should have said that in my original post champ!

 

[demondavey]

Giants have some real campaigner in them

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Congrats Tigs on the 2019 flag.

This post beautifully sums up how the Pies fans overlooked GWS heading into this game. Enjoy the offseason

 

[Yellow Feathers]

This is a win for football.
