The fact that not having Jason Cloke and Mark McGough playing in the grand final meant that we lost probably suggests we didn't deserve it in the first place.

Dont know how you ********s cant understand that MarkT is right on this subject.
Flowerpower
Team Captain
Leon Davis' 0 kicks, 0 handballs & 0 marks were very under rated that game i thought.
In all honesty, we were a ruckman away from the 2007 Grand Final, but looking at the big picture, Geelong deserved to be there much more than us, based on how they played throughough the entire season.
And Aaron Shattock WAS deserving??
Cloke had a great year. McGough should have played on a horses for courses policy.
Very sensible post. Collingwood getting so close to Geelong was the best thing that could have happened to Geelong.
Hows Peter Bell outmarking gumbyfraser. That was hilarious!
We all know what was REALLY hilarious on the weekend.

Fraser was more embarrassing than Melbourne.
Bullshit
Its a team sport, and the team score counts more than one embarrasing marking contest.

True.
Yet if we use the same logic to say we may have beaten Brisbane in 2003 with Rocca in the team, we'd be howled down.
And has in the past, and will in the future.
Molloy played with a broken toe.
Clokey, some might say, was unlucky.
In hindsight McGough should have played, but hindsight also tells us that Betheras and Freeborn and Molloy and McKee should all have been chosen for the following year's GF.
Not sure what your point is, thats all the more reason why he should not have been out there.
Disagree with most of that, except the McKee one, and rumour has it that he failed a fitness test on the eve of the GF and thats why we were forced into picking Walker. Molloy was a broken down wreck by that stage, he would have been no better than those who played. Betheras and Freeborn were also past it.
Actually i am going to make a bold statement
2008 grand final only my opinion will be either collingwood vs Hawthorn or collingwood vs geelong.
Collingwood and hawthorn to play off in a series of grand finals once both teams younger players mature a little.
I''l come back to this thread at round 12 and then during the finals.
Gee i am sticking my neck out so this is only a personal viewpoint,and i know i'll probably get ridiculed for it hey,what the heck,i remember saying that collingwood would play off in a grand final in 2007 at the beginning of the home and away season and i was one kick from being right.
So i'll stick to my guns and predict the same thing again .see what happens.

Taking it a week at a time
Go and wash your mouth out Timmy
Sad but true. The furore over Rupe's omission was overblown.
wow you shouldve kept quiet, it was early days and its been proven that beating freo was nothing to brag about. You also just lost to Carlton! anyways im sure you will still have a pretty good season. try and keep a lid on things
