The Other Preliminary Final

[Thehardtackler 785]

I prefer the Pies to the Tigers. I think we have a good chance of beating Collingwood but we need to play well against WC. The bye might hurt the Eagles. 

[Ethan Tremblay 31,168]

Don’t know why posters are concerned about Collingwood. We still have a game to play tomorrow. 

[layzie 34,148]

Collingwood can win the flag, there’s no point pretending they can’t.

[titan_uranus 25,058]

Rance whinging for free kicks with 3 minutes to go.

The game's biggest [censored] and IMO one of its most over-rated players.

We are concerned because no matter who wins tomorrow, a Pies premiership is highly likely. And you don’t live in Melbourne so you don’t understand how awful that is!!!!

Hoping for a Collingwood win as a Melbourne v Collingwood Grand Final would be so right on so many grounds.

Of course Richmond supporters would say we avoided them but there's always next year.

Started this thread with the post above.

Let's hope the sentiment comes true.

How many members for Richmond next year.

Sadly this is a distinct possibility. If they play like this next week, very few teams will be able to match it. I'm not sure we've played as impressively for a sustained period like Collingwood have tonight.

Ha ha Rance is know tackling his own players...

But surely doing it like a champion, or is that a champignon?

[Monocology 1,109]

Extra week off helped little.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,168]

Well done Collingwood.

Sickening. 

Jeremy Howe winning a flag. Please god no. 

[rpfc 28,843]

Pies were hot in the contest and had a better midfield.

Yeh I understand that and the hype around Cox is gross but they played well. Must be an amazing feeling. 

[Adam The God 30,541]

Who would have thought we'd be saying Richmond lack a Plan B? That's why I reckon our game style holds up better than theirs, because Richmond don't win clearance. When their pressure was matched, they had nowhere to go.

I think we're the only team that can beat Collingwood. I'm not sure we can get past these Eagles muppets though.

Seeing Bucks’ smug face makes me sick. 

I hate this team so much. Please please please let us win tomorrow, because honestly West Coast are no chance. 

We are the competition’s last chance of saving the world a Pies victory. 

Basically this. Collingwood will absolutely obliterate the Eagles on the G next week if we lose tomorrow. The only reason that team is anywhere near the top 8 is their ridiculously biased home ground advantage, just like Geelong only making finals every year because of Kardinia Park.

Give me a bucket! We truly are the comp's last hope.

Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

In my experience most Cox tend to shrink in stature when it gets frosty, so that might be a good move.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

It will be very tough to beat West Coast over there in a final. Collingwood couldn't do it. If we do manage to do it we will trouble Collingwood - especially if they go in as favs and us underdogs. It would be the perfect storm for us. Just to sneak into the Grand Final and pinch it. The harder game is tomorrow. I have lived in WA and they are one eyed and it will take a massive effort to win tomorrow.

[GCDee 3,199]

Who the [censored] was playing on sidebottom... 41 disposals.... 35 uncontested that's insane 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

This is a bad outcome no matter which way you look at it. 

West Coast beat us and Pies win the flag. 

We beat West Coast and we face the possibility of losing to Collingwood in a grand final. 

It’s one big messy Cox fest.

West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.
