Would much rather Brisbane or Fremantle at the MCG. An actual advantage for once finishing top two would be nice
They will get found out but I don’t want a repeat of 2019.

Collingwood has a difficult run home, will sort them out one way or the other:-
Port Adelaide (MCG)
Melbourne (MCG)
Sydney (SCG)
Carlton (MCG)
Port Adelaide (MCG)

Forget the Round 3 result. In our form, I'd be confident of taking them down even with our first week of final wobbles over Melbourne or Sydney (maybe even Brisbane) even playing the "home" final against them.

9 consecutive wins, just like us.
We are apparently the real deal.
With plenty of time to run out and get the message out that there's under a minute left, surely you set a deep zone and give away any kick inside 50. Make them work through the zone rather than 2 kicks and free out the back
I don't think that would happen... but hell, even if it did, I'd be confident this team could pull it back. Only fell 11 points short in that QF despite them kicking the first 4 goals.

Very small victories against bottom 6 teams. They are bog average and will get exposed against any decent team

I bet it does when he had the wife, kid, couple on the way, and was only playing local footy
He had the money AND an awesome career.
He blew his career up to chase the money AND a happy partner.
Hopefully it's working out for him. But I have no doubt that - even though he may never admit it - in his most private moments he'll have a twinge of regret that he went from one of THE players to just a soldier.
What could've been........

My first thought too. They could have set up a zone starting at their own 50 line and be able to quickly shut down the kick in whichever way it went. Guess they were rooted, but jeez.

That's absolutely horrid from the bombers to allow the pies to stroll 150m in 12 seconds.
Absolutely unforgivable defence.

Pies at the G in a home final for them...could be easier prospects
Nope, don't want Collingwood at their home ground with 90000 feral Pies supporters creating an insane atmosphere ala the 2017 "Home" QF vs Richmond. I'm done with our "reward" for finishing at the top being a home final against an MCG tenant. I'd rather face a slightly harder team but with more of a genuine home ground advantage.

I don't think a Geelong player would have even taken a shot there. Only a minute on the clock, suck up your 30 then chip it backwards / sideways.

Watching the replay... wasn't as bad as I first thought from Essendon. Ridiculously good mark by Elliot.
They are worse than in 2019 when we beat them, and we are better.
We're playing well at the G and facing Melbourne there is a likely requirement to winning a premiership.
Sydney, Freo and Brisbane are no mugs either. We will face a good team either way.
or with good on field leaders

7 against the bottom 8, most by a kick and very lucky to achieve that.
Check out the stats from the Essendon game, they basically lost every stat and won due to Essendons inability to put them away.

I know it is a different code, but did anyone just see the worst game deciding referee decision in the tigers vs cowboys nrl game????
What a dead set shocker

Fair kick Elliot to win.

If they can finish top four with those last 3 games of footy, then we’ll deserved
