What happened to your post writing off The Pies 10 mins ago Gooner?? Something about a new orifice? Or was it someone else?

Pies out in straight sets would be pleasant also. 

Geelong, Hawthorn and Collingwood going a combined 0-5 and all being eliminated without a win would be amazing and also hilarious.

Hasn’t really been a highly skilled game in this finals series yet.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Pretty good umpiring so far,  hope it continues 

[SaberFang 7,151]

That free kick and 50 against Ryan was atrocious umpiring. The Pies player had clearly played on.

The umpires are absolutely crucifying WC here.

Didn’t move off his line. Clear 50

[layzie 34,012]

Awful free kick

So would WCE out in straight sets.   Pity we cant have both.

They must have a death wish.   

I am 100% certain that the intimidators will prevail as the game wears on.

Those barrier fences look fairly flimsy and the umpires will be aware of this.

He marked that over the line.

I thought it was clearly over the line!

Didn't even register a mention from these brain-dead commentators.

Seems like Pies players can get tackled and drop the ball and it's play on. Different story when the Eagles do it.

Plus the useless camera few from the other post didn’t help. Total garbage.

Stephenson a real talent.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,967]

I hope we beat Hawthorn (their forward line worries me if they switch on), WC and CollIngwood are very do-able.

[M_9 2,091]

The Boo Factory in full voice.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Jibroni 5,009]

West Coke supporters seriously have NFI, just booing everything that goes against them.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

[titan_uranus 25,044]

If we beat Hawthorn next week, I believe it will be the first time all three of Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn have failed to make the preliminary finals since 2002.

[What 18,810]

Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

You never know when the umpires insist on having called play-on before the oppo can enter the 'zone' even when it is obvious the player has played on.  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  I wonder what the rule is.....

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Kennedy and darling ineffective so far. West coast not exactly starring.

Sidebottom...so good.... remind me what draft year was he

PS. I can see a new rule at the end of next season about use of the boot to fend off a player... not a good look

How the hell can this be regarded as anything but a brutal and callous assault? The fact that it's still countenanced means that the inherently brutal nature of Aussie Rules still lurks not far below the surface.

Another aspect of this inherent brutality comes across when Mike Christian manages to explain and approve of all the thuggery and sniping in the Hawthorn Richmond encounter. It's like there's one rule for home and away games and finals are free for all gladiator contests.
