After today, there has to be no doubt that Geelong are clearly the best side at the right time of year. If the Eagles skills were a little better today, the Pies wouldn't have won that, a very unimpressive performance. What's everyone else thinking?

No. That's the worst Collingwood will play this finals.
It is really just a question of who they get to destroy Grand Final day.
Haha ok mate, you sound like Mick when he is trying to play mind games. Wouldn't be surprised if he tried to say that himself (for no other reason than to try to put the pressure on someone else).
It's still Collingwoods to lose.

i think it's pretty clear that round 24 was no abberation, it was a reasonable display of the difference between the two teams right now.
Whichever team makes the GF is just cannon fodder for Geelong...Way too strong and superior...Oh what? That's still 3 weeks away? Hmmm wonder what Pies were doing 3 weeks ago...
Collingwood have a break now, it'll help them.

Collingwood will have a fairly easy run to the GF now with either an injury riddled Hawks or Saints/Sydney. If they face Geelong in the GF though my money is on the Cats.
how can you lose it when no one owns it yet?

it's a bit true. collingwood were awful today and relied on experience in clutch moments to win. those shuey/selwood goals go through and it could have been a different story. however, collingwood's half back line were superb. they looked slow tbh
Collingwood still deserve favoritism.
They had several key players returning, and WCE played great.
Collingwood will be a different side in the prelim.

I hope the Cats win. If the Pies make it back-to-back this place will be unbearable.
Bigfooty at its finest. A couple of weeks ago Geelong were finished based on losing to Sydney.

Reminds me of 1994, we fell across the line against the Pies (ironically) and then smashed all and sundry (well, Melbourne and Geelong) in the last two games. Dare say something similar might be on the cards.

Saints will knock Pies off in the Prelim.
Saints/Cats GF. Bring it ON!

This. They were around 65% today IMO, and shut down with around 5mins to go in the 3rd qtr.
Absolutely. Cats are looking too good
Actually I disagree - I don't think the break will help them at all.
Underselling the Eagles a bit IMO. Put a massive amount of pressure on them all day, they did well to keep as far ahead as they did.
Add a fit Kerr and Cox to today's match though and fair to say it might have been a different result.

Ridiculous statement. Form in recent weeks not withstanding, over the course of the whole year Collingwood have been the best team. If it's a Collingwood v Geelong Grand Final, and Collingwood lose, it will be looked upon as a monumental choke in the context of the year they've had. If Geelong lost to Collingwood, it wouldn't be looked upon as anywhere near as harshly.
