Getting shown up big time

Means nothing if you're fighting back and not getting the results. Pies on the other hand simply get the results.

Nah

And then dropped a sitter inside 50 from a JHF pass with a minute to go.

This is a huge loss for the Lions. He's averaging 22 disposals and 5 score involvements this year for a first year kid which is super impressive. He's all class and suddenly Brisbane will now have depth issues with filling his spot.

Dees by 28.

The best outcome for us would be to finish 2nd. It's reachable and getting a home final against the Lions or Port would be ideal imo.

We're not talked about as serious contenders because we've also dropped games against the likes of Freo, Essendon and GWS. Those games we simply should not have lost to those clubs. Whilst I don't think it'll happen, we're also still a chance to drop out of top 4. There's still some inconsistencies in our game that needs tweaking. Is the Brisbane win the start of hopefully a good momentum shift tor us? I hope so.

Here's my take. Port and Brisbane have no chance winning it at the G, especially against the pies. So that leaves us as the only team that'll potentially threaten them come September.

Name one game an opposition team has put a hard tag on him where's he's had zero impact?

Oh come on Jaded. You're now taking the [censored]. I know you have your red and blue glasses firmly on, but to say they've average players in all fronts of the ground just shows you barely watch their games to actually appreciate how good they are ([censored] pains me to say that) First up, you do realise they are the number 1 defensive team in the competition right? How can you say they're average in defence when there's a stat that proves this which was showed On the Couch last week. Maynard, Murphy, Moore, Quaynor, Howe ans Noble are a solid back 6 that's carried them well this year. Degoey hasn't done a thing in finals? Had 26 and 2 goals against the cats last year, 24 and 1 goal against the dockers the following week and then got heavily tagged the week after against Sydney. His grand final in 2018 he had 14 and 3 goals playing predominantly as a forward. Week before in the Richmond game he had he kicked 4.1 and was close to BOG. They had a hard tag on Daicos tonight lol. Yet still had 23 and kicked a crucial goal in the last quarter. His influence in the last quarter was telling. Teams barely play hard tags now days. Name me one team that will threaten Collingwood who also play a traditional tagger? No one, except tonight. In fact name a game where a team has put a hard tag on Daicos where's he's struggled throughout the match. I'll wait.

Average defence? Mate do you watch any of their games? Darcy Moore will most likely be All Australian as will Isaac Quaynor who's one of the best small defenders in the game. Their midfield with now DeGoey and Siebottom back takes them up a level. They have one of the best midfield talent this generation has ever seen and will most likely win a Brownlow. You seriously underestimate them as club, it's actually laughable.

Yet they find ways to win. Their mental strength in games is incredibly impressive

Collingwood have one hand on the cup. It would have to be a giant [censored] up for them to lose it from here.

Never been a port hater at all. But this is great to watch by them!

Imagine..

They're [censored]. *Edit How is cr ap censored?

That's actually a big loss for them. The kid has been killing it and has played such an integral role in their midfield.

Brisbane certainly hate last quarters..

Thanks mate.

Couldnt watch the game today. Honest opinions on Grundy as a forward? Was it something that can potentially work at AFL level?

Bravo! 👏👏

If Tomlinson leaves, I presume we'll target an experienced defender as depth.
