Grand final Gameday

[nosoupforme 3,085]

You know that for me the Collywobbles is back and they have secures their 27 th Runner up  a record that will never be broken. However they lost another close one and that was made to happen when their banner ripped off the pole  well before the game.

No sympathy for them at all.   

As for WCE good luck to them take your cup back and celebrate it in WA we don't need you around us.

Bit early RJ?

Yep, called that one a bit early 'Jibroni'...

Thank goodness they turned it around.

Great effort by WC and a great coaching display by Simpson.

His match ups were spot on as they were last week against us...

No-one should ever lose like that. I felt for my Collingwood fans at the Harp today and gave them my condolences. 

But it had to happen, I'm sorry.

Only reason I'm happy the Eagles won. 

If Collingwood won we'd be hearing all about it from every bandwagon. The Eagles can celebrate as loud as they want in Perth.

He's a class act 'chook'...pity he has to coach Coliingwood.

Taking the time to console the cheer squad members before the game is the measure of the man.

He's (Buckley) changed, he's grown a lot, the past 12 months.   Very very noticeably.

Done a great job, in 2018.

Certainly cashing in on the loss Andy!

I thought Will Schofield was terrific for the Eagles. He saved some certain goals with his desperation and I just love McGlovern.

I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

Not debating that. My point was entirely around how we botched that trade. Don't give a [censored] about Howe leaving, stuff him, but we should be extracting better currency than the likes of Ben Kennedy for Howe.

How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

Not near as bad as that runner. That had an actual impact on the result.

[Maldonboy38 5,846]

Great game, the best team won. A few chokers there in the last quarter but 44 blokes going toe-to-toe. 

Dom Sheeds's goal. Just wow.

A shocking game from the umps. Many head high contacts missed and a lot of dropping the ball/holding the ball interpreted as a ball up. Something has to be done about blocking in marking contests. A real blight on the game now. 

And even though I admire Collingwood under Buckley (who I loathed as a player but respect as a coach) there remains a deep seated, unspoken satisfaction that Collingwood have lost another GF.

I wonder if @Ethan Tremblay indulged in a scat throwing celebration?

Yeah, assume Eddie has sacked him

Best for people to stay indoors tonight. There may be magpie mayhem. Cops in for a tough night. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-fans-arrested-as-they-leave-the-mcg-20180929-p506v7.html

What a beautiful thing - the filth nutted in the last moments.

Melbourne must learn from that. The weagles were jumped and trailed by 5 goals yet fought their way back - that's what premiers do.

BBO, we must grudgingly admit that Collingwood played well whilst thoroughly enjoying the style of their demise. That there was probably a block on Maynard that enabled Sheed to mark and goal, well that was poetic justice.

Beautiful work by that umpire.

Demonland, think of us Western Demon supporters, why can't all Eagle supporters stay in Victoria for the next 12 months?

I had my office covered in Eagles crap this week. It time for others to suffer the Eagle victory.

Have just seen the footage of Buckley consoling the runner in the rooms.

 Had not realised it was Alex Woodward, the poor bloke who had done heaps of knees before and after being drafted by the Hawks. This would be worse by far.

Feel for Pies but thrilled Howe didn’t win a flag. Or Eddie. 

I have a lot of time for Buckley. I like him a hell of a lot more as a coach than I did a player.
