"I hate you bastards, but my god I admire you" -Norm Smith in the Collingwood rooms after the 1958 Grand Final.
It was all over in the first quarter, you had a plan and it worked perfectly. All the best for next week

Tarks

Love ya mate, you’re class. Looking forward to squaring up against you next year.

Hahahahahahahahaha Richmond supporters on their flog thread are blaming injuries for their loss.

Aaaaahahahahaha the irony is too much for me.

Statistically we win a flag every 8 years roughly. Calling it now

What a beautiful night, still pinching myself, don't think it has sunk in as yet. Watching the Richmond supporters depart around the 20 min mark of the last was something to behold!!....Cox's game was the most complete aerial dominance l have seen from a forward. The roar of the crowd even before he even marked the ball, just watching him prepare to leap into the air, gave me goosebumps. Grundy is the best ruckman in the game, thought he with Coxy were BOG. Loved Crispy tonight, just his run was brilliant and Sidey the player of the finals without a doubt, and Adams tackling and contested work was brilliant tonight.
Cannot believe we are in the GF, wont sleep tonight, will be watching the replay. What a beautiful week it's going to be!!

Can someone please tell me if Tiger fan tears taste as sweet as I imagine they would?

I live with 4 of them....all gone to their room to cry...The tears are like peach nector

 

[SnakePlisskin]

I CANT SLEEP!

A FU$%KING FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PRESENT GO YOU MIGHTY PIES

yes I'm pissed

My birthday as well. Well yesterday now.

Best Birthday present ever.

 

[30yearpie]

I am looking forward to reliving the match in my dreams tonight.
I cannot even fore myself to think of a passenger.

Across the board effort from every player.

Some were outstanding though.

Sidebottom may well be the best finals performer we have had in the modern era. Simply sublimely superb.

Adams died for the pies tonight...lot's of hardballs, ably supported by Sier

 

[Requiem]

You magnificent bastards, I ****ING love you!

Nothing like an underdog win, and cheers for the community service of silencing many an arrogant Tiger poster.

 

[Troglodyte]

I’ve supported the pies for a lot of years and never been prouder. Unbelievable effort tonight. When I stop crying I’ll send a happy face.

Richmond have injuries

 

[GreekLunatic]

I still can’t believe it I think I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and it’s all a dream

 

[DuckToaster]

Richmond have injuries

Didn't you hear? Richmond have gastro. They absolutely sh*t themselves tonight.

 

[30yearpie]

I know I'm showing my age but I'd do Coxy's mum....with dad's permission of course

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

We are best in the world! We have beaten Richmond! Richmond, birthplace of flogs, Matthew Richardson, KB, Brendon Gale, Mick Malloy, Peggy O'Neill, we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all!). Caroline Wilson, can you hear me? Caroline Wilson... your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!

With apologies to Bjorge Lillelien

 

[migz]

Atmosphere at the game was ****n unreal... literally felt like 2010 all over again.

 

[30yearpie]

Brodie Brownlow would top off this week, then the ultimate

By my reckoning he'll be on 11-13 at the halfway mark. His second half was better so you never know. I got 150/1 after round 10.

 

[jmac70]

Tonight was good

 

[30yearpie]

great win congratulations guys
If theres one thing I love is when the 'experts' get it wrong - no one had WC or Collingwood in the 8 and boy were they emphatically proven wrong!
Hopefully Catchya next week in the grand finale

All week on every show the EXPERTS all picked Richmond. I called Chad Cornes on SEN this morning when he predicted 60+ win for Richmond.
Can't wait to call him on Monday and get my apology......if you listen I'm Jim from Ballarat

 

[Mateyman]

Also did anyone else think the atmosphere was just absolutely huge at the ground? Even in the pre-game the noise around the teams coming out and the Collingwood chant etc were at a level I've never heard before

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’m a very vocal Collingwood supporter. The only bad part of tonight was being called a “black idiot” (I’m dark skinned) by Richmond supporters towards the end of the game.

I was disappointed to see that still exists. I moved on quickly though when Grundy kicked the goal and turned around and said “its Grundy, it’s Grundyyyyyy”.

Great win. I’m shaking. Amazing.

 

[Red mist]

Congratulations.
Thoughts from tonight’s game seem to focus to me on How much of a Rolls Royce Steele Sidebottom is.
He goes everywhere to plug a hole and create. Left or right he’s hard to quell.
Mason Cox, wow! That block of play in the second where no defender got even close was scary. Even better was his confidence in finishing. The swagger was a bit of a laugh but fair play. ESPN are going to rock it.
De Goey of the square. Brilliant decision from the get go to play him there and focus your forward unit around that.
There’s more strings to his bow as well.
Taylor Addams. Unheralded. Hard as ****.
Gotta admire Goldsack. Near the end and lars. Massive achievement. Think his voice and set up on the field really tightens the defence up.
Aish off half back on Rioli worked.
It’s amazing what 12 months can do.
I’ve got an idea for a retreat for pre season for yas.
Next week should be just as hard. Don’t put the foot off.
