As much as I dislike Collingwood they have played in some pretty entertaining grand finals over the past 15 years.

Great game.

Swinging momentum, feel Pies just on top with ball use, but Lions keeping in it.

Lets hope Lions finish strong 💪 

Let's hope so Roy Boy 🤞

Very enjoyable game. momentum swings and plenty of quality. 

just hope the Lions can get it done in the second half.

Their losing ones have been entertaining 😀.

Fagan would be frustrated with those 2 goals on the siren after each quarter. Can't let it happen again.

With Murphy off surely that hurts there backline & the Brisbane forwards should dominate 

I think it’s time for the AFL to ditch all pregame and halftime entertainment. 

Half time show is dreadful. The AFL just cannot get this right. 

Fantastic game so far. Watching each team slot the goals brings out the envy in me.

King Stingray would have been awesome.

Or Amyl and the Sniffers

Richo agrees with you. He was wearing an AatS T-shirt while interviewing KISS. 

Surprised we haven’t seen Eddie’s fat head so far 🤔

Mark Seymour and the Holy Grail AGAIN.. I love Hunter and Collectors, but the AFL need to learn from the NRL. 

Brisbane’s defensive system (or lack of it), just can’t get their head around Collingwood’s corridor game run from transition. It’s like they’ve paid zero attention to the way Collingwood play. Then again, apart from Quaynor, Maynard and Moore, Collingwood’s defensive 6 are bog ordinary, and Bris get to score frequently from inside 50 entries. So what we have is a high-scoring GF. Anyone’s game from here I guess, but if the umps keep paying high tackle frees for Nick Daicos, that’ll get them there.

Oh, we will, we will, especially if they are up with 10 mins to go

All about him and timing

Don’t mind the Hunters & Collectors Guy!

Hate to say it but the ducking player is bloody good.

Will this be the Hill or Cameron show?

Hill by a fair way so far.

Have to stop young Daicos or else.

Any chance McAdam could be another Bobby Hill?

no

I don’t mind them either but that performance and Kiss pre game did nothing to enhance the match day experience in my opinion.

Kozzi had an average year but has still kicked 10 more goals than hill

Yep, Hill turns it on beautifully on his day but the thing about Pickett is even on his poorer days he still matters.

Goalless games: Pickett 3, Hill 5

Multiple goal games: Pickett 12,  Hill 7

Pickett brings double the tackles inside 50 and goal assists, too.

By recognising Hill as an excellent small forward, we can remind ourselves that Pickett continues to be an absolute top shelf small forward even in a season he was a bit off his best and our forward structure resembled a live pig through a bacon shaver.

Hodge: “that’s a poor decision”

umpires are having a mare

Hodge seems to be the only one who’ll comment like this. The others go silent even though you know they agree with him.

Jesus they have done it again. Maybe an after the siren goal by Brisbane to win it.

Time to step up, Bailey.

Re Daicos, we had to listen to all the experts explaining why Toby Green didn’t get that head high free all week, you know he bent at the knees etc.  Then in the first half we have watched Daicos picking up head high frees at will as he drops the knees and leans in to the tackle! 

Will yhe heat and a player down catch up with the pies. 

I imagine big Joe will take a few marks inside 50 from here on. 

Can't see a blow out though.

But pies haven't been the strongest of finishers.

Good point. Umps keep rewarding him though.

Well done to Adams placing in the grand final sprint. We should have picked Schache though so at least the poor bastard got to go on the MCG during the finals.
