Preview Preview/changes v. Collingwood @ MCG - Qualifying Final

[Bluelegs]

I try not to remember the game too closely but my recollection is we lost this game the same way we lost a bunch of games second half of last year. We got off to a decent start but became totally boring and predictable and they ran over the top of us. Which Max confirmed is pretty much the internal view of the season now too.

Tbh I don't think the team is over being prone to this. Still seen many occasions this year when we get out to a lead and start our boring 'control' mode which gives opposition teams very little trouble.

Don't think we've lost many games at all this year where teams have run over the top of us. We're closing out games very well.

Yeah that's the saving grace this year, but the part about switching off after getting out to a lead still happens too often for me to be confident going into a final series. Don't really want to rely in giving up a lead and then running back over good teams late in a final.

Howe would know all about being sold a position he could never fulfill.

Pretty sure we are the best last qtr team in the comp or at least in the second half of the year

I mean, I'd probably be salty too if I was heading into a finals series with Darcy Cameron

as a number one ruck

 

[Scythe94]

Think my desire to win another flag is only matched by my desire for Howe to never win one

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

He's just upset that we aren't playing him.

Buckley lied to Jeremy Howe!!

I did enjoy Buckley ranting about how Howe wasn't a forward in the pre-game last week

pre-game approach by saying his own mate is all is all duck and no dinner.

Sadly I don't think we'll be getting payback via Grundy kicking 5 against them in a grand final.

Just bizarre to get on his high horse about this of all things. Grundy left Collingwood under basically the exact same circumstances.

Potential hail on Thursday now? Lol

Don't think Howey is the smartest tool in the shed

Spring has sprung!

Worried that Melbourne might play Grundy.

BoM says 1 to 7mm. Hardly the great deluge.

As it gets closer to Thursday the big number number will get smaller and smaller.

Headless will be even happier about it being on Thursday night now hail is forecast.

Its a shame if it is going to be wet, not so much for our chances but because you can't beat a nice 18 degree September evening, fast track and the crowd getting rowdy. The atmosphere will be dampened greatly.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Has there ever been a wet QF/SF/GF in the history of the AFL? I don't think there has. Always seems that in September the wet goes away.

Cats Saints grand final was feral weather.

Most physically intense, brutal game I've ever seen live. My god that was enormous.

Wonder how old mate Bartlett would cope with Bomber Thompson handing Goody his premiership medal

 

[Big Bryza]

Just bizarre to get on his high horse about this of all things. Grundy left Collingwood under basically the exact same circumstances.

So, what was incorrect about Howe's comment? Did Grundy become an AA KPF overnight, did he?
