Grand Final Gameday Thread - Cats vs Pies - Do it here!

[swanny_brownlow]

Amazing game so far.

 

[TradeDraft]

I thought it was a geelong free kick.

Umpires are cheating for sure.

Hope they keep it up then

 

[Macca19]

10-3 frees in favour of Collingwood that quarter.


How do you pick a result from this? We know Collingwood can win from behind. We know Geelong can win by less than a kick. Cracker game!

 

[outabounds]

Great game, pies getting the rub, hope Geelong don't lose by less than a goal. WTF was that goal umpire doing?

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Lonergan killing Cloke.

You can't get NSM for that but he should.... Will go to a mid..

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Great game. Still couldn't pick a winner. Flip a coin.

Win lose or draw the Tomahawk has silenced his critics today (including me).

Go Cats.

 

[Rod Stroker]

No coincidence that Hawkins has come good since Carey started mentoring him a couple of months ago.

Selwood for me has been the most consistent player till now.

 

[GiantForce]

Oh god! In for a classic last quarter! Here we go!

 

[Macca19]

If Pendlebury gets to 35ish touches then I reckon he'll win the NS no matter if they win or lose

 

[Bockchoy67]

Goal umpire initially thought it was a goal before he remembered the Collingwood paycheck.

 

[pinkus maximus]

how good is this?

c'mon cats

Finally seeing some intensity in the game. Impressed with Christiensen, one of the few blokes willing to put his body on the line to win a loose ball instead of seagulling it. Davis' effort late in the quarter was pathetic. Hang back and let the Geelong player win the ball then go for the tackle. Exactly why he is a shithouse finals player.

Last quarter should be interesting, rain should make it more physical and contested which will favour Geelong as they have less outside, soft types, but Collingwood are fitter than anyone and should have more legs.

Most impressive game I've seen from Hawkins, has a few goals sure, but hasn't stopped splitting the packs all day.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Hopefully we see the square up from the ump's this quarter has been pretty blatant in favour of the Pie's so far

 

[jamesprice_18]

Carn the catters! Do 99% of Australia proud.

Bartel for Norm Smith.

sick bro

 

[Shane_Mag]

Hawkins should win Norm Smith if Geelong win. Instrumental for them when they needed him. Especially after Pods going down with injury.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Tbh, I'm waiting for Geelong to kick away here.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

Hawkins has been a colossal this game, inspiring performance considering pods injured.
cats to win by 5
Bartel norm smith

 

[Forward Press]

I think Fasolo will have a major impact in the last quarter.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Here Malthouse has activated the sub and Meatloaf is warming up...

 

[policegetthatman]

Blair subbed.

 

[Bockchoy67]

By the way, how good has Christensen been? Isn't taking any backwards steps.

 

[TheStinger]

Inb4 an umpiring decision ruins what has been a very good grand final.

Edit: I fear I am too late actually.

 

[lionel_luthor]

Jimmy Bartel should win the Norm Smith, has been brilliant and vital in the trenches

 

[loyallion]

Goal umpire initially thought it was a goal before he remembered the Collingwood paycheck.

It is pathetic by the Umps they are not meant to be showing any Bias and are meant to be neutral and yet this one looks to be wanting the Pies to win

 

[blues4flag]

Norm Smith race is wide open now with Cloke being well held by Lonergan.

If that was the end of the game I'd probably give it Bartel.

Pendlebury has been good. Thomas had a blinder that quarter. Bartel, Selwood and Hawkins playing well. Very impressed with some of Christensen's efforts that quarter. His attack on the ball stood out a fair bit, topped off by that cracking mark.

Bartel at this stage. Has to be.
