2023 GRAND FINAL

McStay is a big out for the pies. I don't rate him much but he had been decent in the finals and takes a good defender. Harris Andrews should have a field day and Brisbane forwards will keep Collingwood backs accountable. Midfield battle will be interesting and could go either way. Overall Brisbane more talented and should get it done if they don't get stage fright

    At least there will be a fair few lions fans there next week.

    I wonder who they'll get to present the cup.

    All the ex superstar lions are coaches at other clubs. Maybe Jono Brown. Collingwood no idea. 

    Get Mcrae to do it. He will be there anyway!

    There will be more Lions fans than some think. The Pies army wont have access to anywhere near enough tickets. The Brisbane and Vic based fans will get their fill.

    Literally all the thousands of neutrals at the GF will be hoping for a Pies loss.

    Hopefully its a hot day .

    Expecting enormous amounts of love from the cheating umpires for the Daicos bros.

    I expect all media people present to get on their knees and kiss CEO Gils boots as he enters the dining room for the last time and gorge on a 5 course delight with Grange Hermitage to wash down all the prawns and oysters.

    Then F off!

    Dont come back.

    It’s a bit early in the season, but the ladies are looking very primed

    You’re right, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. But it’s more likely than not. 😁

    There’s another Grand Final being played this afternoon. The VFL decider at Ikon. And I’ll be there as a diehard Gold Coast Suns supporter, for today anyways. I’ve got my Suns cap and scarf and now I just need to learn the song. 🤭

    Won't be watching. Not sure why anyone on here would. Picking up a new car then watching our 2021 finals. Will be a great day.

    Agree, think it helps the Bris backs a lot not having a 3rd tall to worry about.

    Anyone know any Pies/bears members who can't get tickets? its all over twitter and online news, but I think they just don't understand the tickets don't come for a few days.

    It's a horribly unjust system regardless. The selling of barcodes for $5.50 to members from teams that didn't even make the game seems the very definition of extortion.

    Lot of Anger on Twitter "X" from Collingwood fans who paid $1000 for Grand Final Guarantee yet did not get a ticket in the ballot. And this years ticketing charge "which it a complete ripoff" was $6 this year.

    It's The Pies so who cares but Grand Final Guarantee should mean just that and the extra $6 charge should be illegal. That $6 charge is applied to the four teams in the prelims. 

    I take it clubs can only sell so many Grand Final Guarantees a year.

    Jeez I'd love to read the fine print on that $1000 GF "guarantee". That sounds ridiculous. I'd muster a [censored], but seeing as it's Collingwood, I am all out of empathy.

    From what I can gather the P3s and P2s got better seats than the P1s so maybe Ticktek did the ballot backward.

    I love GF day - a semi religious experience which is planned, and follows the same routine each year.

    Sleep in (rare these days), slow coffee and toast, then wonder whether I can be bothered watching any of the AFL breakfasts (I can't be bothered. I never watch them any more, because the new professional feel of them robs them of a great earthy quality the old North Melbourne ones used to have.)

    At 11am, gather my massive amount of snacks, drinks (usually Harcourt cider, the best cider in the world)  and laptop, and begin watching all the unnecessary and repetitive rubbish. I have pies and chips for lunch.

    The rest of my household are disinterested so I get to watch in in isolation, which I like. In 2021, all the family watched it together.

    Will be barracking VERY strongly for the Lions. The filth winning is not an option.

    From the Age

    "Priority one members paid close to $1000 for a membership that guaranteed them a grand final ticket, but at least 37 of those members missed out when they selected no standing room during the registration process and then were allocated standing room tickets only in the ballot."

    So they obviously oversold the guarantee in the sense that they included "standing room". No one would think that a guaranteed ticket included the possibility of standing room

    Stinks to high heaven and I hope the ACCC comes down on them like a ton of bricks

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
