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

Except for 2011 when he should’ve been the sub and we had no flexibility when Reid was injured.

That’s why you don’t take injured players in..

 

[KrispyKremePie]

This.
It’s time to close ranks Magpie Faithful.
People are either with us or against us.
To those against, we offer no apology or remorse.
We will take this flag, because it is ours to take

Would have been the perfect post if you finished it with “Can you dig it?”

Incorrect. Reid needed to play. The mistake was the wrong sub.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Our last 6 weeks haven’t been close to our best. Although I don’t mind the under dog tag.

Our last two games have been more than adequate. Prior that it’s largely ancient history.

 

[Black_White]

Need to see a lot of this up forward to have any chance.

We have a big edge in GF experience in the coaches box and on the field.

Fly, Leppa, Pendles and Sidey have all played in four GF’s. DeGoey, Elliott, Mihochek, Mitchell, Crisp, Howe, Maynard, Hoskin-Elliott and Cox have all played in one previously. Our captain hasn’t but he is a born leader.

Fagan has never played or coached in an AFL GF. Only Neale, Dunkley and Cameron have ever played in one - all at other clubs.

If it’s close, I reckon our depth of experience and leadership will lift us over the line.

To be fair to Fagan. He was apart of the Hawthorne three peat

I agree but I think you’re selling Fagan short, he was heavily involved in the Hawks golden era. He knows how to prepare for big games.

Apart from Flys playing days, which Richmond flags was he involved in?

Fly was there for all of Richmond's flags (edit: and also our GF loss in 2011)

Very different as an assistant than as the head coach. Which is why I wasn't also counting assistant coach GF experience of Fly, Leppa and Bolton.

His role also wasn't quite as an assistant. Not neatly at least

Not really. Scraped 2 wins. Let’s not be delusional we aren’t in red hot form.

Regardless it doesn’t mean much when the balls bounced. We will be going full tilt

There’s no percentage in finals. We had complete control against Melbourne and played very well against a hot GWS.

Vfl flags, Markov has payed under him.

 

[Big Bryza]

I'm hoping with lipinski out that hill plays high half forward, his pace and disposal inside 50 will trouble Brisbane. As for ginni, hope he plays pure forward pocket with the instructions to hit the scoreboard and position himself at around as many inside 50 balls as possible

Agreed that Hill, McCreery and Elliott need to utilise their pace up the field, and get Ginni deep to use his forward craft.

 

[Big Bryza]

Berry and Dunkley seem to do an ok job.

On inside mids, yes. Not on someone with the running power of Naicos.

Berry will play on a wing, probably on Jaics whilst Dunks will go toe to toe with JDG.

Anyone with more insight into how the warm weather will effect our game style?
My feeling is it helps our game style. Kinda like the early rounds of the season, where it was warm against Geelong and Port and our harder for longer game style thrived best with our strong fitness. Fatigue from the heat should suit our lock down game if he have to impose it.
I don't think Brisbane living in a warmer climate matters. 2002/03 we're colder GFs and it didn't help us at all.

Was it warm vs Port? I remember it being cold or am I talking out my a$$?

 

[Big Bryza]

Roccas (goal) in 2002, Voss being an absolute flog to Burns in 2003.. Never forget. * these pricks. Redemption time

Burns bump on Voss was 02 as well.

 

[Big Bryza]

Which is great if we are in front, not so great if we are chasing. Fingers crossed by the time he’s needed we are well in front.

They've picked a team to win, not to lose.

Expecting a big national anthem from Kate Miller-Heidke. She is an exceptional talent.

Well I saw her say she hopes Brisbane smashes us so stuff her. Hope she forgets the words.

I saw her when she opened for Paul Kelly at Sidney Myer Music Bowl a few years back.

She certainly sounds fantastic live.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Dunno if it's good or bad but just got swooped by a Magpie, just leaving the old man's on the way to footy festival.

Just missed me.

Pies fans need to boo her into oblivion.
