Preview The Grand Final Edition 🏆🏉 👊 Collingwood vs Brisbane, 2023

[Vicky Park]

If he gets a goal, the roof of Marvel Stadium will blow off the noise will be so loud.

You mean the stadium about 3 kilometres away at Docklands? That would be some feat, but I’m willing to contribute to that noise.

Do it for Thorold Merret!

Also, bring back the name Thorold.

Definitely has merit.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Hey everyone, did you hear? We haven’t scored much in our two finals!*





*But we scored 100 points or more in our previous 3 games. But that doesn’t count

 

[Pendles!]

Could be a game lost at selection if we haven't made the right choices - Frampton over Kreuger and Ginnivan over Lipinski/JFN.

You need to move on from Krueger mate. He was never in the frame.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I understand your concern, but last week was an incredibly tight game. Felt like we couldn’t breath. I came away thinking it was the most difficult game we played all year.

Some say that PFs are often the best games of the finals series, so Saturday could be different and our guys might get more space and opportunity to rack up some possessions.

We can only hope so. Our small guys didn't do much last week and the calibre of tall forwards available has fallen away thanks to McStay.

 

[big german D]

I think Ginni as sub and JFN for Lippa would have been the best call in this circumstances

 

[eyeroller]

Changes: Frampton in, Ginni into 22. McStay out and Lipinski to sub. Other emergencies JFN, Macrae and Harrison

Brisbane unchanged

Team Selection: Tall returns, young gun in for Grand Final

I have moved on but doesn't mean I am on board with Frampton's forward selection.

 

[sr36]

Not a fan of picking elite endurance runners as subs. Lippa comes on late, he’s still going to be as slow as everyone else.

Disagree. He usually plays better in the second half when others have wilted a bit. They'll wilt still and he'll come on running even stronger in the second half than normal. It's not one in one in his role where he wears down an individual opponent. Like it

 

[legendstatus]

Lipinski lucky Adams isn’t fit so now has something to prove when he comes on

Personally I wouldn’t have picked Ginn given I don’t rate him, so happy to be proven wrong but gee am I going to ****en tee off if he fails again!

Nerves starting to kick in

Confident we smash these flat track Gabba bullies

Welcome to hell Lions!

We can always switch to Howe. Glad he got practice earlier this year!

Jack makes things happen when he touches the footy. We need to give him the time and opportunities to be able to influence the game rather than 15 minutes floating around the middle of the ground in a defensive role. I think it's a great decision.

Payne named as an EMG, maybe they're giving him every opportunity to get up for Saturday

He is a genuine footballer with a high IQ when the ball is in his hands. He only needs 8 touches to influence a game if he is inside 50m. That's just what we need given our lack of scoring in recent weeks. He also seems to stand up on the big stage when the stakes are high. I like his inclusion in the 22.

Here's hoping there's a few more playing come Saturday than this

There's been a lot of talk about Frampton being the safe choice, but I think the opposite. I think he's the riskier choice but the one most likely to get us goals from bombs to the hotspot. Ginni in the same boat. I think it's a really attacking team we've picked - designed for goals. We're going to take it on. This is a team for manic attacking footy.

No interchange.

 

[Cory]

DeGoey on Andrews?

 

[larrikan]

Love Noble but unfortunately he is the 24th picked player based on end of season form AND he only replaces Markov, Quaynor, Maynard or Naicos. It's not Noble, Lipinski or Ginnivan. They all play different roles. Lipinkskis value in the side is different. He is a more versatile sub especially if midfielders get run off their legs in the heat.

Everyone calling for Lipinskis head should be happy. Now support the bloke. He is our sub.

OR Jen has pics so he couldn't be dropped


In Fly we trust.

Bit disappointed that Nick Daicos missed out, but he's young, he'll get other chances.

 

[Pendles!]

I like that the sub is a midfielder. I think that will make a big difference on a hot day.

That forward line looks dangerous.

At least Neale isn't playing

I wouldn't be surprised if we grub a few kicks inside 50 every quarter

 

[Cory]

Interesting lineup. Fly has something in mind. Let him cook
