Preview GRAND FINAL - Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions • Saturday 30 September 2023 • 2:30 PM • Melbourne Cricket Ground

[Mr Ripper]

The more black the better for them.
In the 28-29 degree day

This is the kind of attention to detail that wins flags.

 

[Mr Ripper]

And the traditional lion one now is a bit more bigger than it was, they trimmed the blue off. Not sure why Brisbane messed up the design.

Our late CEO claimed opposition players would look into its eyes and become paralyzed with fear.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

In country footy, in days gone by, the home team wore white shorts - and the visitors wore black.

That's an interesting system

[BuntonRules]

Isn’t the white shorts thing largely a holdover from black and white telly?

Was the norm a long time before telly.

With a nod to POBT (who stole the idea from Inside Football anyhow)... A power ranking of each teams likely best 22.

Note, these aren't matchups, just a ranking of importance for each team. Fair warning, I gave this about 5 minutes thought, so take it with a grain of salt. Or rip s**t out of it... your choice.

Rank	Brisbane	Collingwood
1​	Andrews	N. Daicos
2​	Neale	Pendelbury
3​	Dunkley	Moore
4​	Daniher	J.Daicos
5​	C. Cameron	De Goey
6​	McInerney	Maynard
7​	Coleman	Sidebottom
8​	McCluggage	D.Cameron
9​	McKenna	Crisp
10​	Zorko	Elliott
11​	Gardiner	Murphy
12​	Hipwood	Quaynor
13​	Starcevich	Mihocek
14​	Rayner	Howe
15​	Bailey	Mitchell
16​	Lester	Cox
17​	Wilmot	McCreery
18​	Berry	Lipinski
19​	McCarthy	Hill
20​	Ah Chee	Hoskin-Elliott
21​	Fletcher	Frampton
22​	Robertson	Markov

Bias aside, I think we've got an edge on raw talent, but we all know footy isn't always that simple. Collingwood at their best play greater than the sum of their parts.

To be honest I would probably have DeGoey as their most important player for them to have success.
So therefore is Dunkley our most important player in stopping him?

Bobby Hill should be above Mitchell. He’s potentially their 2nd/3rd best forward, and on his day be as dangerous as Cameron.

Not a fan of the tatts on the Lion. That’s definitely more a Collingwood trait.

Yeah Hill to me is the one you don't want getting off the chain.

We've got some players in that 12-20 category who can be really dynamic on their day.

Just need a couple of those to have a day out.

Yeah I have no idea what that's meant to be referencing

 

[Scubaveg]

Anyone know where we can find a program for grand final day?
Also what time does the parade start on Saturday?

Kevin Murray’s tattoos maybe? I have no clue.

Ahh right, maybe

When i just viewed the posters i was going to mention the same thing. Was the first thing that came to my mind

Lester a tad high

 

[Sproj]

I’m looking forward to team names and seeing that old youngster, Jarky gardenpayne named.

 

[BuntonRules]

On 360 last night Robbo says "Brisbane won 3 in a row, beating Collingwood in one of them". Idiot.

 

[Clarkythelion]

To all our Tasmanian fans - thank you. To the Tasmanian journalists - even with your 2 heads you cant get the name of a fellow Tasmanian and Coach of the Brisbane Lions correct

Well, that's a tad uncalled for. It's a typo, calm down.

2 Lions legends in Chris Birchall and Grant Fagan.

 

[haystark]

Anyone know what time they train today?

 

[Scubaveg]

Anyone one else on here on the 7:55 flight BNEMEL this morning (Thursday)?

What's up with McCarthy's calf ?

Is he a farmer ?
