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

[briztoon]

Interesting that we are..

• reaching out to the GWS fan base (they have one?)
• embracing the non-afl state brotherhood

It’s more that we’re copying the GWS social media teams work from the last few weeks.

This one actually makes sense haha

 

[Viceregal]

You don't remember our AFLX premiership?

One of the highlights of my Sydney-attending career. By which I mean it and 2009 and now 2022 is about it.

Actually I had 100% forgotten that AFLX had ever existed

Was folling the Lions good training for following GWS or was both of us sucking in tandem just a really bad combo?

confirmed to miss the GF.

Adams out apparently...

I was really hoping he'd play but they were never going to do that I suppose.

 

[martinson]

I'm wondering what sort of shape Moore is in. Certainly hasn't been the force that gained him an AA.

The other one is Daicos. 2nd up after a few weeks off into a GF isn't ideal though he did go ok in the last quarter last week.

They've also got 2 logs in Cox and Cameron who when the ball hits the deck are as good as useless.

Yes I'm talking myself into it aren't I.

 

[KissKiss]

Poor Adams. Sucks for anyone missing by injury

Feel sorry for him. Didn't he miss finals last year with a soft tissue injury as well?

I'm very good at seeing silver linings.

 

[DevRoboGun]

I like the idea of Dev doing a job on Naicos. Can play a half forward negating role and also has the tank to follow him up the ground. Also allows Dunkley to take JDG. Allowing Neale, Clug, Bailey and Rayner to attack (within reason)

Moore’s ankle was a balloon on Friday from a roll. He will play but that’s going to be a tad uncomfortable or he just doesn’t feel it because it’s been Jabbed

There are going to be players going into the GF from both teams with injury issues but you don't want it to be your key players.

In fairness - they have been the standard. Some very strong content

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo has a joke.

What is the difference between a turd and Collingwood?

Nothing. They both the same thing.

Are you doubling up and putting your right nut on the Lions to win the GF Dodongo?

 

[Sproj]

Hamstring awareness - hate this term. Hey, look, I have a hamstring. Who knew?

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo will put both Dodongo's right nut and Dodongo's left kidney on the Lions.

Dodongo just can't see us losing.

McCarthy did a great job shutting down Naicos in round 4 when he was playing off half back - only had the 11 disposals at half time. They pushed him up into the middle after half time and he ran around collecting 27 disposals in a half.

I like the McCarthy match up again if he starts off half back. If we moves into the middle, I wonder if we still employ a tag or focus more on winning the contested ball and limit the ball getting to him on the outside. If Dunkley can get on top of De Goey and with Adams out, there's a lot of reliance on the likes of Mitchell to win the contested ball inside.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about Daicos outside of hitting him with physicality when he gets the ball. Stop De Goey and we will go a long way to beating the Pies.

Yeah I think the best way to stop him is to stop the ball getting to him. The Pies midfield stood up pretty well to the strength of the GWS midfield on Friday, largely thanks to De Goey. Dunkley vs De Goey is going to be a ripping match up.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Daicos only had 1 touch in the second quarter of round 4 when we kicked 6 goals to 0
