I dunno, even if Brisbane got through it'd gonna be hard. Don't want to watch it and get let down again, the stress bank account has taken a hit lately.

Might go fishing and get drunk on grand final day. I usually love watching it no matter who is in it.

Totally soured this year.

Thanks Gil

Reading some of these comments... I am glad I have decided to ignore footy other than MFC games.

Wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow there are some weird things going around the Gabba.

Btw, I saw that they gave 15000 tickets to Carlton fans. How many did we get against WC back in 2018? I would be surprised if it was more than 5000.

Yeah you are

just every motorist trope everyone has heard before it’s boring and totally unecessary given what I said 

jog on Karen 

Would you mind proof reading before you post in future, not making a great deal of sense there... 

Too busy thinking about men in lycra perhaps.

Bedford’s been a bit overrated this year if you ask me. Kicked 12.17 for the year and missed a crucial goal early in the 3rd qtr tonight which would’ve given GWS some much needed confidence and ascendancy.

Massive blue. He only had to run straight at the goal and kick through the ball. Tried a too clever by half screw kick.

Regulation blue for a youngster. It's a prelim, only a seasoned pro straightens up and kicks it

Similar to Sparrow's miss v Blues.

I will be attending the Grand Final as an AFL member and if Carlton beat Collingwood  then I’ll reluctantly take it.

I think you're speaking in riddles BBP.

If it ends up being a filth vs Carlton GF we all know where you'll be taking it!

[dl4e 5,851]

I hate the filth. Sydney beat the filth by a point in last years prelim and then got flogged in the granny. Hope the same happens to the filth this year.

Fugging incredible hey!

The filth need a gps to help find them the airport, didn’t travel the last 5 rounds & McGuire complained about playing the lions @ marvel in rd 24! All other top 4 teams travelled twice, in a tight competition how can one team have an advantage???

Told you all this season is rigged.

The most infuriating thing about Collingwood making the Grand Final is that they’re not even that [censored] good.

Yep, so peeved. Give us Melks and Petty back and we would have had it in the bag.

[dees189227 12,290]

You  know who I blame for this. The players from our team who couldn't kick straight to save themselves. 

It's easy for them. They can escape by going overseas next week. We can't.

Good enough to get there tho

We just weren’t (noting injuries and very poor kicking and cacking our dacks last 2 mins v Blues)

This really is the one that got away 

[loges 6,767]

GWS lost because of 2 bad mistakes in the third quarter, the turnover kick and then the player who didn't bodyline the ball. Both resulted in goals and gave Collingwood back the momentum 

[dees189227 12,290]

Lets just hope Brisbane get through tonight & Joe and Eric bring their kicking boots next week

They also missed their first 4 shots at goal. 

Did Toby go up on the ball in those final minutes because he could have been the experienced one to wrestle it out

Don't know about that. Last night's game was seriously high quality. I felt at half time, given the Giant's aerial dominance that they would have the edge on us. They were very impressive.

Collingwood's chaotic style undid them in the third quarter. Giants could not slow the game down and reassert control which is all a bit sad really.

Very much hoping the Lions get it done for Chris Fagan.

That was Callum Brown. He was otherwise terrific and a few minutes later kicked a ripper goal, but that was a costly mistake that undid some of his good work.

Still treated as a minnow club

and we roll over and accept it (like getting sent to Kardinia Gulag every year since 2000)

Is this why Carlton got 15,000 tickets at the Gabba for today's game?

How can that happen unless it was mandated by the AFL?

[Half forward flank 1,022]

If we take  away the crowds and close finishes i think the game is at sn all time low in standard. The amount of time players have to get rid of the ball is not as the game was intended to show of kicking and evasion skills.Again we have too many players around the ball and players are not tiring in the way anticipated at end of games for it to break open. I think thats with 23 including sub but more to do with game plans

what do other think please

[chook fowler 19,290]

Really peed off that Cox and Maynard get to play in a grand final. Only consolation will be watching them with their heads in hand when they lose next week.

Why is one team given a 6 day break in a 4 team competition?

what a joke

Especially after the gws have flown interstate for three games in a row. 

Hard not to believe it's all about the filth.
