Assuming you mean Geelong will win the Grand Final easily.
Don’t be so sure.

No I am referring to when we went to South Australia as underdogs and came home victors.

Why is this game in a s**t home stadium that doesn’t even hold 50k !!!

The stadium is actually pretty cool, the last in the country that has the old stands.

Ground capacity is usually enough. I had the displeasure of having queue up at the SCG member’s entrance of our round 22 game there behind a very long winding row of SCG members who just couldn’t compute that it was at capacity, that they had needed to pre-purchase tickets, and without that they weren’t going to get in.

I think Moore has to take him. There is no one else.

Yeah Murphy to Buddy. Moore to Reid. Howe on McDonald. Maynard on Heeney. Quaynor on Papley.

I hope beau and JC crashing their car yesterday isn't a bad omen. I remember in the 2018 granny when something went wrong with a banner and it turned out to be a bad omen...

Anyway up the pies!!! I'm pumped but super nervous. Expecting a close one and hoping we can come out with the goods

Think of it this way: it’s a bad omen for the Swannies that misfortune came to visit us, and the best it could do was bounce off Our boys as they charged through unscathed.

Coffee.
Uber.
Airport in 15.

Please don’t let me down Jetstar.

The day has arrived thank god. Haven't been able to sleep the past couple of nights, the nerves about this game have hit it's peak in me, if l was a player, l would be mentally shot before the game!!
Heading to the park with my son to kick the footy to expend some nervous energy.
On the game, we just embrace the occasion and play our natural game, like its a round 15 game. Last time in round 22, we had no DeGoey, Ginnivan off early in the second quarter, we had flu go through the club during that week, so we already are a different proposition today. In that game we had 52 inside 50's, but didn't make use of those entries, so if Johnson, Mihocek, Elliott, Ginni, McCreery etc can capitalise on those entries we are capable of kicking a winning score. Plus we need the big boys Cox and Cameron, when resting up forward, competing everytime and bringing the ball to ground if they're unable to mark it and feed our crumbers, put the McCartin boys under pressure, everytime they go for a mark.
If Naicos gets the Clarke tag, throw Naicos forward and put the pressure on Clarke to defend, then when needed, throw Naicos into the midfield, and see if Clarke can go with him. Personally l don't think Clarke will want to defend inside F50, so that may change Sydney's plans...
I really think we can win this, we are the most confident, connected side left in it l believe, and l think this unbelievable season can continue....Pies by 11 points

 

[Gone Critical]

Hot Pies. We are in super form. $3.05 is well off the mark. Swannies will be shocked how much better we are compared to August

Welcome to the second last Game Day thread of the year.

Our 10th Prelim this century. Pretty awesome. But just like a fat kid eating cake, it's going down great, but we want more.

Why him again, you ask(me, not the Fat Kid)? With the death of Lizzie, Andy has been quite busy making the last few public appearances of his life. This meant he had to cancel a few conflicting engagements, one being the World Conference of Unconvicted Sex Offenders. In his capacity as Australian Chapter President WalterBlaknWhte has had to take on more responsibility and is unable to write his usual confused crap.

So here we are. Should I go straight to the Swans hate? Yes. There are two types of Sydney supporters. The first ones are the Melbourne-based losers who are lifetime "Bloods". They love telling you that. Yeah, well, if your supporters were any good, the team would still be at the Lake Oval. And STFU about the Bloods. Your main color is white. Who came up with that brainwave for a footy team?

And you stole your theme song from Notre Dame, the Collingwood of College Football.

The second type are the Sydney-based Chardonnay set. Point-clappers who only follow in times of good. The two types have nothing in common. They are a Club Divided.

Please note that I do love me a good chardy, but never ever wooded. Remember that kids.

The line-ups - look em up, I ain't slotting em in here for nobody to read.

Prognostications
News just in - JC and Beau were in a car crash on the way to the airport. Beau started early on instructions to seek body contact at every opportunity.

Whilst Luke Parker gave me my non-Pie highlight of the year with his work on Dylan Shiel, I would like for RamBeau or Bruz to deliver some hard love back.

Sent Mrs Side to training yesterday. She reported back that Jamie spoke to some kids near her(because she was tagging Jamie) and promised them he would kick 5. I like the sound of that. Mrs S took a photo with Jamie and came home with a glint in her eye not seen for some time.

Who will go to Buddy? I feel obliged to put it out there that Jesinta Franklin is wonderful. Last time round Darcy went to Bud first, then Murph later on. I think this time we start Murph on him and tell him it is glove wearing time. Bud can be nice and sneaky by hanging off packs. Murph needs to play the man.

The Swans do have some decent players coming up. I cannot believe former Mad Pie James Rowbottom is playing for them. I got that little flucker a ticket to the GF replay in 2010. It is time for him to repay that favor by playing poorly against us. Hopefully Jordy will deliver some quality bullying to his younger fellow alumnus.

Speaking of Jordy, the game is on his boot. He will fire again tonight. All of the moral crusaders can go stick their persuaders into bags of busted glass.

Last time we played the Swannies, Miho played his 100th and they stole our honour. This time 'round Crispy plays his 200th and we are stealing it back, freaky camera angles and all.



The bookies say we have little chance. Fk them. I look forward to relieving Sportsbet of some of the money I have lent them.

The AFL execs are flying up in the new jet that they bought after Dickie Greenleaf signed off the TV rights. Rest assured those Cheats in Suits want us to lose. We have done everything they wanted this year by boosting crowd numbers and giving great sport. Now they want the Swans in the big show. But just like Dickie wasn't expecting an oar to the pill, Gil won't be expecting a 3 goal turn from Sunshine's Only Hyphen. it's going to happen.

The Pies by 3 points. Yep, it is going to be a game for the ages. Tough to get through, but glorious in the end. We shall prevail!

Walt will be back for the GF Game Day Thread.

Great review. Getting smashed around the dinner table all those years must have honed your craft

Nah, the AFL execs surely want us to win …

… with that “From 17th to …” label, we give hope to the supporters of all those deadbeat loser clubs. We are primed to be the AFL’s Cinderella story of 2022. Swans or Cats winning it would change nothing.

Yep, we are the AFL darlings this year, we’re gunna have to fix that somehow …

Put a flower behind your ear, that’ll help.
You might get to meet Chrispiesssss too.

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

I’m so excited for this game. Not nervous at all. If we win, I’ll reserve my nerves for next week.
Whatever happens today, barring an unexpected poor performance like Brisbane last night, can only be seen as a win. Craig McCrae has worked miracles for Collingwood.
I know they’ll come out all guns blazing though.
Love ya Pies!

The whole airport is Collingwood! I’m at the back of the queue.

Uber to the ground

You dress like that in the nearby suburbs and you’ll cop a cavity search

 

[domus]

Our players are gutsy. They are a kamikaze outfit of blood and guts desperados who will disembowel themselves before they commit the dishonour of giving up.

The least you can do is strap yourself down into that f****** chair and witness the glory and madness.

I'll do that when I watch the recording!
I've sat and watched us play live in at least 40 plus finals. I've paid my dues!

I'm just in front of you, slip me a $50 and I'll let you go in front of me
