Losing to these Cats in a GF is a thought I cannot handle, let alone the reality

A good mate of mine, who is a Pies fan, said he hasn’t gone to footy since 2018 as he couldn’t deal with that loss. It hurt him that bad, he goes on about Buckley playing Aish and him fkking up etc. 

it worries me. Oiled up Danger and Joel lifting the cup having beaten us. I dunno, it might break me

In all honestly I’d rather get beaten by Geelong in a GF who have a percentage of 136 rather than Collingwood who have a percentage of  just 106.

Whilst I’ve admired what Collingwood have done this year, Geelong are simply the better side and I’d rather lose to the more highly credentialed side in Geelong.

I hear ya but I don’t see Collingwood as any sort of threat. If I did I agree with you

if we lose to the Pies in a final well, we just aren’t a good side at all

Some of the finest lyrics ever penned by an Australian…

‘Absolutely everybody
In the whole wide world
Everybody breathes
And everybody needs’

You can just picture her tirelessly working in the studio thinking ‘what rhymes with breathes, oh yeah… needs’.

Has nothing on these (albeit not by an Australian):

"I don't want to see a ghost

It's a sight that I fear most

I'd rather have a piece of toast…"

I hear ya but losing it off one kick 

I dunno. That would hurt so much worse than a smashing

Yeah true..

But lets be honest.. we did enjoy watching Collingwood choke a grand final by under a kick 😆

Also, who the hell uses the word ‘Bah!’ who’s not Uncle Scrooge?

"Bah humbug" originating , from Dr. Zachary Smith is still part of my vocab WCW😉

I wasn’t worried about ‘21 Geelong like I am ‘22 Geelong and that’s not even factoring us into it. At the moment they give Dees ‘21 a run for their money. 

Perhaps the G will be the deciding factor but our form on that ground hasn’t been stellar this year so perhaps it’s not such an advantage. 

I find it amazing and I know bookies and the betting market don't mean a great deal, but straight after the Cats game last night Melbourne was made Flag fav with all the betting agency's.  

Great seeing Carlton Choke big time😉

Chance to miss finals altogether now. That would be a old school MFC 2017 ,2020 like choke

In 1994, when the Eagles thumped us in the prelim, I desperately wanted the Cats to win the GF the next week.

In 2018, I was Eagles all the way. When I heard on the radio broadcast on the way home that Sheed had kicked the goal to sink them, I let out a little whoop. 

While there are plenty of sycophants pumping up Geelong in the commentary box, the Collingwood supporters are now getting unbearable.

Thankfully for us, there are plenty of teams in the 8 who have been their traditional September tormentors (Carlton, Geelong, Brisbane and us).

I’m definitely not a big advocate of a Carlton premiership at all, but seeing them roll Collingwood in a close one in a GF yet again and Eddie turning the color of Kermit the Frog’s armpit would be worth the price of admission. Even better of course would be us beating them (and the ferals dusting off their big book of s*** Range Rover and snow jokes to cope).

Since last Friday night’s Richmond’s V Freo we’re 0-7-1 in terms of hoping for top 4 contenders to lose.

We cannot get a result to save ourselves.

Hopefully Brisbane slip up today to finally have a non MFC result go our way.

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned but was interesting hearing Ginnivan speak openly after the game. The constant media on him has been way over the top. He admits it’s taking its toll on his mental health. 

on one hand, it’s great that we are getting to a place where young men are happy to talk about this stuff. On the other hand, it’s sad he has to cop all this stuff. Sure he has played for frees which is not good, but he is young and he will learn to stop

Try Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' 1843 novel "A Christmas Carol".

Anyway, back to laughing at Carlton ...

Poor old Ginnivan expressing concerns about his mental health. I’ll give some advice.

Change your ways. How about not continually trying to seek out free kicks every bloody time you are near the ball by dropping your knees you little piece of $h!t. 

Talk about mental health concerns. I didn’t think I could hate the Filth anymore (particular focus on the vast majority of their moron supporters that attend their games and one player, guess who?) than what I have over pretty much most of my life.  I was wrong.

Pity it comes out the week before we play them. Hope the lad is ok, but don’t want Pies getting extra soft frees on the back of it. Their crowd will guarantee the usual good run anyway.

Im amazed people are jumping on the Jeee-long bandwagon.

Does anyone think Scott wants to face Melbourne in the QF on the MCG?

He'll be praying we finish 2 or 3 or outside the top 4.

As for some  DL  posters feeling sorry for  Ginnivan. You cant be serious. I hope Hibberd pile drives him. 

Do you think Collingwood give a damn about us. 

Jack Watts says...hi.

I always had a problem with that part of the song and why the next line wasn't "We're the only team from Carlton town"

Agree, also re Ginivans mental health, brought on by no one else but himself. Polarising player!

No, but even if I was it wouldn’t rival you in terms of cringe: you openly admitted to buying a Rick Astley album. 🤣

And you volunteered the info unashamedly. 

Look WCW, I once voted for the *%^&$#@!* Party. Not up there with Rick Astley, I admit, but we all have had our moments of madness and share of skeletons in the washrooms. 

I don’t mind Shooter McGinnivan and his lairising. Media attention way over the top playing the man not the ball. Same focus on Selwood? Nnnnope.

collingwood are becoming unbearable but the media attention is good - the pressure will ratchet up.

I’d rather not lose to Collingwood or Geelong in any final but especially not Collingwood 

if it has to be someone, Freo or Lions I think.

There’s a big difference between being a lair and polarising fans and the over the top media focus

 

anyway

 

there's not one FTA game on today in Northern NSW - disgrace

 

Blockbuster game about to start. Suns v Weagles 

Another big promo game for  Gil Mc Lacklan to show off to his corporate yank friends.

Sooner he's gone the better.

Agree, he really goads me. His antics were that bad (and obvious) that the umpires had to reinterpret the rule for head high tackles.

And the way he hammed it up to the crowd. Huge risk and now he is paying the price. 
Perhaps  he should have been told by the Collingwood hierarchy  many weeks ago to pull his head in just even a little (excuse the pun).  But of course they didn’t do a thing.

As I said in an earlier post, he can choose to change his ways. This I think will be very difficult to do because the Filth crowd erupt into a frenzy every time he goes near the footy.

As someone said in a earlier post, it will be interesting to see how the umpires treat him this coming Friday.  And I wonder why I hate Collingwood so much.😡
