Yep, it’s official. Garry Lyon is a HORRIBLE commentator. FMD! 

i think the problem is that a lot of the commentators simply don't watch much football

they watch the games they commentate, sure, but otherwise they get the highlights and the clips that daniel hoyne and the champion data guys present to them

it means that the narratives that they want to tell based upon what they have seen are reinforced

All the nuffies who told me Collingwood already won the flag

There is absolutely no way Marshall doesn’t have a concussion test after last week.

And the same doctors care of Jay Schulz suddenly getting the scrutiny it needs. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/south-australia/port-adelaide-former-player-jay-schulz-had-20-concussions-but-didnt-miss-a-game/news-story/44a9770a66a3db6e8ca360b109323c45?amp

after the 1st qtr, i bet my son 50 euro to 5 that Pies would win, feeling stupid now… But we enjoyed the win, pressure is everything, and we all know Melbourne can bring that.

Love the kid, not the odds

[whatwhat say what 22,550]

pear might be two players down already - mckenzie a sore knee and marshall a - quelle surprise! - concussion test

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

Vossy has figured out the pies, bring the physicality and they turn their toes up. Imagine Viney, Trac, Oliver, Sparrow watching that….

Geelong are SO cooked and I can’t even be happy about it

The one time I’m not barracking for a Geelong loss and they come out playing like the nursing home they are 

same last week. back to early 2000s  Geelong it seems.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Good to see Toby Bedford doing well.

[Chook 15,012]

That handpass from Zac Butters was out of this world.

[Ollie fan 3,349]

Of course i want Geelong to win so second spot is available but, honestly, i absolutely hate them. Has any Geelong player, EVER, accepted that the free paid against him was deserved.

I would love to see the dissent rule enforced against them.

Tagging Daicos today was a bad move by Sam Mitchell?

Yes, Goodwin should look at tagging more to stop players like Noah Anderson and Zak Butters having their way with us like they did this year.

Did I say that?

We dominated the pies.

We put time into daicos and limited his impact - without having to sacrifice the output of one of our players or allow daicos to drag that player away from the contest.

Goody doesn't tag.

Take it up with the manager, Karen.

Not watching the battle of the least cared about club in NSW, but GWS just quietly killing sides is not ok

So this is what it's like being a Geelong supporter. Nice. Knowing your team should lose but comforted by bizarre free kicks keeping you in it.

Kenny Hinkley on the boundary rubbing his hands together is giving me strong Monty Burns vibes.

It’s funny you bring up Daniel hoyne as he is the only 1 not rating the pies right now but thinks our game is in great shape, pure stats man and called Geelong as premiers a fair way out last year

Didn't we figure out the pies... 🤨

We won by four points and kicked less goals than them!

Daicos had 27 disposals and kicked a goal which got them within four points right at the end of the game.

Sam Mitchell just took his 16th placed team and destroyed Collingwood by 32 points and large part of that was keeping Daicos to just 5 disposals, even before going off injured he was totally ineffective in the game.

I know Goodwin doesn't tag, but he should.

Goodwin has a slightly better midfield than Mitchell tho….

That's what jobbers like Jordon and Harmes are for.

You have to have someone with pace and discipline and endurance so who goes on him?

Kicking 18 behinds we didn’t, it will be an absolute fairytale if they drop into a hole and lose games and go out in straight sets

I rather not carry them in the side and just back our midfield to beat anyone we play one on one. 

That doesn’t mean I don’t think we should try to limit the opposition’s best player. But I wouldn’t play a player in a purely negative role in a final. We don’t need to do that.
