Can’t trust them at the G. Pies haven’t clicked yet and in the GF, probably against a side that can’t play the ground

Still the same dimensions as the Gabba. Versus Collingwood with more neutrals there than actual supporters - Lions won’t be troubled by the G if they get there. Crowd would be for them about 65/35.

On a practical level that all makes sense. They just really stink playing at that ground and lose to average sides. I don’t know why but they do

Whoever wins tomorrow is going to win the GF

Was always the criticism of them in the early 2000s also but on grand final day they got it done. I think if they get there and play cleanly they’ll take Collingwood.

Pies form has been patchy for 6-8 weeks , cant see it just clicking together in a GF .

I would back the Lions in on form alone. Pies will struggle to keep them to under 80pts which they probably will need to win it .

Anything can happen but Lions have them covered bar the ground.

Happy for Tom Mitchell

Kingsley is a gun. giants finally playing as a team & their structure is elite. unlucky tonight.

like what their doing

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I pray for the Lions tomorrow if today's big Vic club umpiring is anything to go by.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Especially when dopey Brayshaw calls GWS an 'interstate team' rather than 'non Victorian'.

Well they are an interstate team when it's a game in Vic..

Me too.

However I suspect that Brisbane (unless they fall over tomorrow) will come down focused - without the emotion, pressure or spotlight - and frankly they should win.

Have to get past Carlton first but if they do, I’d have them warm favourites.

Hahahaha - eat s**t AFL Giants. Eat s**t Gil.

You want Collingwood to win? Wow

 

[Ned Ryerson]

You want Collingwood to win? Wow

Over the AFL Giants? Absolutely. Gil doesn’t get to see out his term with his little pet project playing in another grand final - it’s a great result.

 

[Franko Armani]

Collingwood will win the flag . That was huge from both sides tonight.

Their kick outs and ball movement is so slick

I swear I saw the same kick out 4-5 times where Brown would block for a bigger boy down the line

Pies need to lift quite a lot. Have been way off their early season form for a long time now. Lions have so much more fire power.

What about the Hawks? Why would you want Collingwood, a ckub that has more premierships than us win more? Perplexed.

It was a very high pressure game that really could have gone either way

cmon the lions

This time last year Adams goes down and they are left with a hole at the contest. Fast forward 12 months Adams goes down again but Titch was huge 13 contested and 10 Tackles, he filled that void and they are now into the granny.

 

[Roby]

I reckon the Hawks beat the Pies tonight.

We're better than this mob. Makes me sad

Did I say I wanted them to win the grand final? I’m on the Lions. I just don’t want that pathetic, entitled, manufactured focus group entity with a few dozen genuine supporters making a grand final ever again. The Richmond v GWS grand final was such a non event because GWS exist solely to extract value from TV rights deals.

Collingwood don’t get ambassador payments, they don’t get concession after concession after concession, they won’t perpetually get the maximum AFL allowance, they don’t get corrupt academies which are against the concept of equalisation. I’m more than happy for Collingwood to lose another grand final than to risk that orange farce have a remote chance of winning a flag.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Ned's dead wrong imo.

Gil wants a Collingwood v Carlton GF to ride off into the sunset with.

 

[kirbatron]

no way... giants winning was a way better result.

pies will equal essendon & carlton.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
