It's weird - you'd think with their recent success they'd be more chilled out about losing.

Don't feed the troll would be my advice.

Presumably track plays more midfield.

This fact always astounds me 🤣

This is deadset the silliest comment I've read on this website.

I reckon we'll go unbeaten from here and run third. Port away first up which we'll win. We'll best brissy in the prelim and play the maggots in the big dance. But there's no easy way through. Get every part of our game working at the same time and reasonable run with injuries and ill take anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Correct and we won them both. Last time Collingwood beat Melbourne in a final was 1958.

You didn't say they were in better form though. You said they were the better team.

Seems like they're still knackered from that prelim 😂

I hope everyone who complains about our crowds is a) going and b) going to make a heap of noise!! Even, and especially, when we're struggling!!

In hindsight we were utterly dominant I'm 2021. Smashed the finals. 8 out of 9 against the rest of the top 5. Geelong were also very dominant last year, however, they did have a close final against the Pies in week 1. On the other hand, they were even more dominant in their actual GF win.

Great Intel. Thanks for posting.

Good on you for still going around rpfc. Few good years left!!

Very interesting thanks for posting.

I may have this wrong but you seem to be suggesting Petracca doesn't bring his best to the big moments. Which would be an odd criticism of a Norm Smith medallist.

I reckon I'm 1 and 7. I was there when the wizard wore red boots and didn't get a touch, losing after the siren, getting done by 80 in the rain, and of course our famous win in 2015. I reckon I'll be 2 and 7 by the end of the night.

Trac's tears after that game are my favourite memory of that season apart from the obvious. It showed how much it meant to him and that he was one of us.

Awesome - thanks for that!!

Got seats in A10 at kardinia park. They were 50 bucks compared to most others that were 60 bucks. Does anyone know if that means they are restricted view? It didn't say that but still a tad concerned. Not sure if this is your area @FearTheBeard ??

That's right.

I was the cattery for Max's breakout game!! One of my greatest ever days at the footy! I'm just pointing out the reason geelong mostly beat us down there is because they've been much better than us, not because the ground has some mystical quality. I expect us to win comfortably on thurs.

Really? We've basically never been the better team. The only time we were was 2021 and we won.

It's hard to move the ball down the ground at Kardinia. Last year we got stuck down their end for large parts of the game. Clearances and centre clearances are crucial.

We've done bloody well to get two of these feature games given our size. Hawthorn and Geelong only have one. North have half a one on Good Friday. Dogs and saints don't have any. Pies, dees and blues have 2. Richmond and bombers have 3.

This is the most sensible post I've seen on crowds. The amount of drivel that gets spoken about our crowds from our fans and outsiders alike is unbelievable.
