The 2013 Finals Thread

And there's the rub. Any other ground and that's a free kick and a two goal lead. Watch the head ducking in the last quarter. It will reach new heights.

Or lows.

Of course Harley is praising the umpires.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Dear commentators, it can't be holding the ball if it is an illegal tackle (which the tackle on Mayne was).

[Return to Glory 8,412]

Justice. How was Johnson's form? Poor, poor, poor.

Ready for grand final fever in ye olde Freo town? No way they'll lose the prelim at Subi! Last Saturday in September here they come!!

The value of having a good coach.

Fremantle's performance should not be lost on Melbourne supporters.

[Return to Glory 8,412]

Geelong was out coached. He inherited a champion team but, really, the jury is out. Spends too much time wanting to smash phones.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Dockers! Brilliant effort. To be only the second team to beat Geelong in Geelong in the last six seasons is phenomenal.

Home preliminary final means you can probably rule out Sydney, Richmond and Carlton. Hawthorn now has the prospect of playing Geelong in the preliminary final, but Geelong has to beat (likely) Collingwood next week, which is no certainty.

In other words, the finals just got interesting.

Well done Fremantle! Will give the flag a huge shake

[Chook 15,012]

THE DAYS OF DOMINATION ARE OVAH!!!!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Well done Fremantle, Ryan Crowley is a [censored] but my word he does his job well.

[Sir Why You Little 36,990]

Ahh to see that Cat Woman in the crowd at the end....Shattered....i love it.

"And the winner isn't Geelong...."

The Cats lose at the Cattery....how awesome an effort was that from the Shockers.

People who do not rate Ross Lyon are mad...i hope he and Roosy lock horns soon.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Collingwood's run at the flag just took a turn for the better. They've won their last three games against Geelong. I'm sure they'd much prefer them than a trip to Perth off a six day break.

That's kind of sickening, but I guess watching Geelong lose in straight sets would be enjoyable too.

Hawthorn will drop nuggets if Geelong win next week

Would have him in a heart beat.

Hawthorn will drop nuggets if Geelong win next week

I'm not sure about that this time around. Looking at Hawthorn last night, they'd beat Geelong quite comfortably IMO.

[Demon Jack 6,869]

Full credit to Freo. Playing as the away team at Skilled and winning is no mean feat.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,029]

Really good game today. It's very hard to see Freo being beaten out west in the prelim, so onwards to the GF for them I guess. An amazing result for Ross Lyon as well.

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

I tipped Sydney last night and they were poor for a lot of last night, especially the 2nd half.

I tipped Freo this afternoon when I saw that McPharlin, Pav, Ballantyne and Sandilands were all in.

When I was young Collingwood were hated by everyone. That has changed. All those 20 and younger now hate the Hawks with the same passion my generation hated Collingwood. Why? Because of the arrogance of their supporters after the 2008 premiership.

As for Geelong, their supporters now believe that winning is their right and are quickly becoming detested by other supporters.

It's great to see Freo, Port and the Tiges in. Next year maybe the Roos and either Brisbane or Gold Coast.

I am old enough to remember what Tigers' fans were like in the 70s. The Tiges are my most hated side, closely followed by Hawk fans. Oddly enough, I have never hated Collingwood.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Oh, and as a Victorian who used to live in WA, I hate West Coast too.

[Return to Glory 8,412]

Crap sportsmanship from Selwood and SJ at the end of the game.
