So with cox wearing glasses and the warm weather, surely sweat would be getting into his eyes and they'd fog up.

A good excuse for thumping someone I guess.

Does anyone know how much the Afl paid kiss? Can't find it on the internet. Just curious.

Whatever it is its probably more than the cost of modernising the goal post video equipment.

Pathetic rabble the AFL. Atleast we wont have to put up with Gil McLachlan after tomorrow.

Good riddance.

Not holding my breathe on Dillon  being any good.

You Victorians really know how to pick 'em .

Kirner,Comrade Dan then Tricky Gil.  jesus.

Can't wait until this gf is over and Brisbane better win so I can stop reading all these fluff pieces on Collingwood.

I mean Maynard last week and De Goey this week.

[Roost it far 9,543]

I’d like Cox to accidentally spoil Maynard attempting a regulation mark in the Collingwood goal square and watch as the Lions go coast to coast to kick the winner with 4 seconds left in the clock. That would bring me great joy.

Would it be healthy or maudlin if I watched the 2021 GF witth Dennis Cometti commentary.

This one hurts even more than last year... What a waste

That's what I'm doing. No idea why anyone but Pies or Lions fans would watch it.

[dees189227 12,453]

Lets hope this time tomorrow we are all happy because Brisbane won

I've structured my work arrangements so that I'm working for the entire match

Hoping that the Lions win but can't bear to watch Collingwood play at all - full stop!  I just detest them

Anyone painting? Good viewing (relatively) there, too.

Grass growing for mine, T. 😁

I’m not going to watch it but I’ll keep abreast of the score. Then if/when a Brisbane win is inevitable I’ll turn on the TV at the loudest volume, sit a few inches from the screen and drink it all in.

The Dees just won a game in Mordor. Absolutely sheeted it in.

Who cares about the GF?

For the life of me I can’t understand why any Melbourne supporter wouldn’t be interested in watching our W matches. There’s a Melbourne team absolutely carving up any and all opposition there for the viewing. A genius game-plan, 100% passion and dogged determination, a team displaying sublime skills and the tightest cohesion under a coach who pretends to be a coach but in reality is a wizard. 😁 All this in our beloved red and blue. Who wouldn’t be keen to come aboard?!?! Seriously, these players aren’t just amazing female players, they’re amazing players. Period. 

[dees189227 12,453]

I just hope that daniher and hipwood have their kicking boots on. 

I just think Brisbane can kick the bigger score as they have more forward options.

It would be great if Fagan won to. A coach that never played at the highest level but had the smarts to coach smartly at the top level.

Also what a perfect way to shut up the critics about not being able to win on the G by knocking off the pies in the big one

Hands up all those who picked Jed Adams to be our entrant in the GF sprint.  

 

I feel like a bad supporter, as I don’t even know who Jed Adams is. Not trying to be smart either. Genuinely had to look him up. 

[DubDee 26,306]

I'm thinking of changing my mobile number in case the Pies win.  I keep sending them pictures of Trac in beast mode in 2021 and asking them when they last won a flag.  I'm on thin ice

But, did you know despite being seen in general as a successful team, the Pies have only one 2 flags in 65 years? Still chokers. I hope Daniher kicks 10 goals

so you know, [censored] them

They deserve to be on a board EVERYONE sees. Personally I’ve never had so much fun going to the footy. They put smiles on faces. It warms the heart to see so many happy Dees fans, especially the little kids, of whom we’re seeing more and more each week. 

[Supreme_Demon 3,918]

Sadly, I think Collingwood wins tomorrow. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

But I really do hope I am wrong and Brisbane wins instead.

In reality, it should be Melbourne playing in the Grand Final at the MCG against whomever. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened.

Fingers crossed for next year! 🤞

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

Brisbane have to win so I can reply to some of these Collingwood fans on social media.

One Collingwood fan actually wrote he'd rather make these grand finals & even if they lose, than be a hawthorn who won 3 in a row then gone backwards. 

Really? They haven't won a gf in 13 years & are you really proud to boast about it when your club has the most gf losses.

Don't get me wrong I wish we would make more gf and yes I'm annoyed that we have stuffed up our chances but I'll take 2021 than losing 2 hopefully 3 in the last 13 years. 

You'll take 2021 over Geelongs last 10 years as well I guess?

That's as implausible as the Collingwood nonsense.

A flag in 1964 then 2021, then  a  "dynasty "..... 2 seasons  of straight sets  fails,

I mean seriously?

 

[DubDee 26,306]

I honestly thought we’d be playing

the drinking will start early and i’ll cheer daniher and any other fukker i need to do the Lies losers

From lions.com.au: Premiership Pride: Jonathan Brown 2003 Grand Final

……Following the first centre bounce for the afternoon, Browny was collected by Collingwood’s Scott Burns in the face and immediately fell to the ground.

He spoke at length to Lions TV, as part of the Premiership Pride series, about this defining moment so early in the game.  

“I got to my feet and thought, geez this isn’t part of the script,” he said.

Bronwy was integral to the Lions’ game plan for a Lions victory that afternoon. After the hit, he vaguely remembers talking to the team doctor but admittingly was frazzled. He welcomed halftime, as his wobbly legs were about to give way.

“It was nice just to have a seat at half time,” he says.

The Lions’ medical staff took care of him but admits, by today’s concussion standards, he may not have been allowed to play on.
