Best would be if we win both finals and so do Collingwood and we play em in the grandfinal

X2. This is what I want to and get the same result as 1964.

And we made 5 changes after winning the prelim. Mind you, 4 were injured.

Smart move by Freo to stay on the East Coast until their finals end. 

If they didn't and kept winning they would fly Perth-Melb-Perth-Syd-Perth-Melb over a two week period where they have just 6 or 7 day breaks between games. 

Now they go Perth-Melb-Syd-Melb and stay here until they are knocked out.  Its a bit like the hub/fortress we created last year, reducing distractions.  While unlikely it could be galvanising enough to get through to the GF.

Things have changed, gotta be portable now. Your own bed is overrated anyway 😝

Freo please please win. You won't have much support today & be booed by ferals but the majority of Victoria are willing you to win.

Freo are really the only team I want to win it. I could just handle Brisbane beating geelong next week.

Nothing would make me feel more to see Collingwood and geelong in a gf

This game is breathless. The pies going for the jugular straight from the get go. They won't die wondering I'll give them that

C'mon Freo

De Goey may be poor human being but he is a great footballer. Love his explosive pace from stoppage. He’s a great kick as well. 

Fremantle haven’t been that bad but find themselves down four goals already. Collingwood can really hurt you on turnover. 

Weekend is getting worse by the second.

The Pies speed on the ball is catching everyone out, but like our strength behind the ball last year it’s also the opportunity. I’d be very confident that by mid next year coaches have figured out Collingwood. Might be better to give up clearances and have more numbers back. Let them run themselves ragged and trust that their run and gun style will give you opportunities on the rebound.

It’s amazing how good Scott Pendlebury still is. 

Why can’t Goodwin play an open Forward Line? It’s the best way to use The MCG

The Filth are just running with the ball, it ain’t hard to work out

With Tracc, Clarry and Viney in the middle I hust don’t understand why we always have a congested Fwd Line

Collingwood have so many fast runners in their midfield and backline which we lack other than Langdon. And they play on so quickly which opens up so many options, I feel like we did that last year.

Freo’s forward line is as dysfunctional as ours.

Their inside 50 entires are just deplorable as ours.

Collingwood are a team that plays the G beautifully.

He's got a defensive mindset, kick to a packed pocket so there is less of a chance for opposition to hurt you with turnovers

Which was mostly ineffective at The MCG all year. I am looking from outside. Inside the Club they live and breathe it, but i just don’t understand, particularly after TMac went down. Give Fritsch and Brown the Arc

and the Filth get another one

Forward 50 efficiency and accuracy why the pies have stolen so many games and why we gave up so many 

HTB is such a raffle, these finals 

Young is class.

FREO are garbage and Brayshaw for a Brownlow favourite very very avg

Pies have entered the dreaded zone of indecision .......... 26 points up

They're doomed

Too many pinged for incorrect disposal when the ball gets knocked out in the tackle.

Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.
