Very sad and unacceptable. wth was he on about?
ftw I feel your pain. was also targetted at the prelim 2 years ago, by supporters of your club.
Geelong have got a serious finals phobia now. It seems ingrained. 3-10 since 2011 is chronic. I'd love to know who the 3 were against but I'll wager they were easy beats.
Wouldn’t make a differenceThey’ll play it at at KP won’t they?
How about your elite full forward? Horror night for the All Australian. Zero goals, zero goal assists and 4 behinds. A couple of costly misses in the 1st quarter which seemed to deflate the whole team. Went missing through the middle of the game. Had a great chance with less than a minute to go which would've reduced the margin to less than a goal. Pretty straight forward shot, only 25m out and directly in front. He also got both hands on that long centre clearance of Dangerfield's nerar the end of the game. But he spilled the mark in the goal square. It would've been a goal if he got out of the way and didn't touch it.We had the same amount of scoring shots as the opposition and played about 20 minutes of footy. That’s my thoughts.
Our footy is fine. Whether we bother turning up or not is another issue. Thanks for thinking of me
where did I mention Collingwood? we already in your head?Ok Grand Final phobias? Dom Sheed 2011 ring a bell.You aint won it yet!
In Pies speak you certainly had a moral victory. Geelong lost by10 only ...played crap
you said that last year most of youDidn't tigers clean you up last game.Or another moral victory. Much rather play Pies then any other in final.
anyway - how about you win today before you open your cakehole??Didn't tigers clean you up last game.Or another moral victory. Much rather play Pies then any other in final.
The longer a record goes for the more likely it is to be broken.
Is that how you filled the stadium against the giants, with magpie fans?Very sad and unacceptable. wth was he on about?

Since his break-out performance in the 2011 GF, Hawkins has been good in just one final (5 goals v NM in 2014)
In the other 11 finals, he has averaged just 3.91 marks, 1.09 goals and 0.45 goal assists
One good game in his past 12 finals...

Just like how a minor premier has never gone out in straight sets, time to make history.
I wouldn't go that far.Let’s kill him.
No it isn't. Grundy has been the best ruckman all year and Collingwood lost 7 games. Him starring isn't the difference to winning and losing.
Grundy has had 40+ hitouts and 20+ disposals 9 times this year and Collingwood has lost 4 of those games. And in those 4 losses he had 33 clearances by himself.
It's a very simplistic way to measure influence. .
He won't be the difference in this game.
Of course but the Geelong poster indicated that he'll be the sole difference and especially if he manages 40+ HO's and 20+ disposals. It's just not the case and that's been proven already this year.
If you think Grundy is the difference between winning and losing this game you're in for a shock.
We've broken long term MCG hoodoos against Collingwood and Hawthorn. Forget history, we have Geelong at the MCG and likely Brisbane at the Gabba. Probably the ideal run to the GF.
"Likely" Brisbane? Not sure how you think that. Richmond favourites to beat Brisbane.We've broken long term MCG hoodoos against Collingwood and Hawthorn. Forget history, we have Geelong at the MCG and likely Brisbane at the Gabba. Probably the ideal run to the GF.
Played it beautifully. 2 men down on the bench (one more than Geelong) and locked down the game to protect our lead. Did Geelong ever look like kicking 5 goals to overtake us?Didn’t notice as I watched the game last night, but I just noticed the Pies did not score whatsoever in the last. Interesting .
If danger wasn't playing it would have been uglierWell done Pies, too good.
We have too many soft footballers who don't work hard enough.
Luckily percentage wasn’t a factor.Didn’t notice as I watched the game last night, but I just noticed the Pies did not score whatsoever in the last. Interesting .
Danger was huge. Kelly had a massive last quarter too.If danger wasn't playing it would have been uglier
Kelly had a massive last quarter too.
The same Brisbane who thumped you at the GABBA?
"Likely" Brisbane? Not sure how you think that. Richmond favourites to beat Brisbane.
That sounds like more wishful thinking - wanting to avoid Richmond prelim @ MCG.
