2023 GRAND FINAL

[old dee 22,922]

I feel sick in my stomach after what happened to Angus and then no penalty. I can still here them chanting while Angus lay unconscious on the ground. May the Lions win by a large margin.  

[dees189227 10,806]

Ok Brisbane over to you. Today please break the hearts of every pies player and supporter.

They must start well and take every opportunity they can.

Go lions 

[nedleg 163]

CARN THE ROYS!

💙💛❤️

Just one day it would be nice to get the opportunity to be able to travel to the MCG to watch Melbourne in a GF 

[Clintosaurus 6,467]

Pies into Naicos for the Norm a certainty. Gil loves narratives.

[loges 6,085]

Really galling to have to watch 2 sides that we beat in the grand final.

[demoncat 631]

@binman give us your punts for the day

Looking to get something out of today…

[buck_nekkid 5,494]

I wake this morning and feel like we missed a golden opportunity.  Please lord, dont let the Pies get a flag.

[McQueen 17,864]

Pies by 24

First goal - Zac Bailey

Norm - Pendles

But please can the Lions win!

From a long way out I thought this was our year. 

I was so confident we would be in the GF I booked a city hotel for this weekend.  To enjoy the festivities, see the city awash with red and blue and make up for missing the fanfare in 2021. 

I'm still in disbelief that we aren't at the G today. 

I truly believe we should be there and my confidence wasn't misplaced; there was no way to predict the impact of thuggery and our appalling goal kicking.

As it is now not a Coll vs Carl game I will watch it cosseted as it were at the home of Dees supporting friends.

Having to barrack for Daniher and Zorko is rather sickening but there is no other way.

Go Roy boys!!!!

Come on Roy Boys !!

[Fork 'em 6,522]

The only way I see Brisbane losing is if they do a Melbourne and sheet the bed on the big stage at the "G".

[WalkingCivilWar 32,027]

I should be on my fifth coffee, third Red Bull and tenth cigarette by now, having not slept a wink last night.

This should be a GameDay thread.

Dane Zorko- all will be forgiven and forgotten (for making Harry cry) if you do two things: take Maynard down, and get your team on the podium.

I’LL GET YOUR FACE TATTOOED ON MY PERSON IF YOU CAN DO THIS!

100%.
So .... Disappointing.
Arrggg!

Really could have been us playing today. An in form Melksham was a huge loss. Not playing Grundy for whatever reason didn't help. Tmac was a poor compromise and I won't talk about the incident here.

Pies are an average side that were very lucky to beat us and just scraped in against the Giants who played their third interstate final in a row. After a six day break. Hmmmm.

Like so many others my interest is to see pies get smashed and a certain player get a taste of his own irresponsible and very dangerous footy acts so as to stop them happening to others again. Because the afl won't stop them, someone else should.

[BDA 20,171]

We were not the best side this year. We finished 4th for a reason. KPF injuries the biggest factor no question about that. Bad luck but there you go.

Could still have one either of those finals but if you can't kick the ball between the big sticks and score more than the opposition, then you are not the better team. We do not deserve to be in today's final because our goal kicking was putrid.

Beautiful day. Off to the park with the kids and the dog for a while. Hosting a BBQ to watch the game. All set and ready to go.

Lions will win. 2 relatively straight forward finals (reminds me of us in 21). Forwards humming. Pies have not been in particularly good form for a couple of months. McStay out a big loss for them.

Lions by 35 points I reckon. I'll enjoy the looks of anguish on the pies supporters faces. 

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,175]

I think Brisbane will [censored] the bed, Collingwood will win pretty convincingly and we will all look back on a badly missed opportunity. 

[640MD 2,808]

You will have all seen the cartoon of that thug on the morning paper lift out.

just not appropriate, any other player

FMD !

I’m actually worried that Andrew’s goes to Mihocek, and Cox has a field day on Gardner.  It would be my worst nightmare.  But Macrae is astute and will be working out how to exploit Brisbanes lack of a second fit tall defender. 

[640MD 2,808]

You could always put it on a Dart board

or make it a voodoo doll

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,938]

Never been more uninterested in a GF before.

The thought of either Cox and Maynard or Daniher and Hipwood being premiership players just doesn’t sit well with me, sadly it’s only a matter of time. 

This year we’ve been constantly reminded that Nick Daicos is the best player in the game and Harris Andrews is the games best defender. 
 

A Brownlow medal count where 14 average touches gets you 3 votes and 42 touches and 2 goals gets you none.

The umpiring / goal review system at an all time low.

The tribunal system clearly broken. 

Two of my best mates, both Collingwood supporters (one at the game today) telling me telling me this week that we (the Dees) were the better team in both our finals and should of win them both does little to comfort me.

Throughout the year I have as many on here have invested so much time & money into watching our club, betting, SC and being on here only to be left so disappointed not only by our club but the game as a whole.

Having said all of that, [censored] you Maynard, Carn the Lions.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,237]

Any DL posters heading to the game today?

Can’t wait for the game and hoping the karma bus pays Maynard a visit, one way or another. I don’t hope he gets hurt, I just hope he has a stinker of a game and is one of the main reasons they lose.

Hopefully next year I’ll be cheering on the red and the blue rather than being a neutral in the crowd.

The media's orgasmic response to the filth in a granny is strange. One would think it was 57 years since their last and not a paltry 13.

Watch the filth fans boo Neale today. Like it was his fault.

Dirty club. Dishonest players. Filthy fans.

One can only hope they lose today.

A small degree of joy in that at least.

Watch the umps try and spoil it though.
