Joeboy you’re a dead set legend! Great stuff, very much deserved!

Imagine a Griswold family vacation road trip to Perth!

There would be nothing sweeter. Nothing sweeter at all! Just hope I could make it to that point!

So currently 2-0 with 20 mins left. Spurs have had moments but have generally looked off the boil.

Nailed it. Theres a lot of people here that are happy to flirt with Collingwood potentially winning a flag for the possibility of us playing them in a Grand Final and that’s fair enough. I can’t do this.

Yeah, would have been easier to see GWS smashed by Richmond than Collingwood

Such a disgrace. They should be serious, and go to bed straight away.

I dunno, the Fitzroy Bears aren’t too bad. I reckon they are a fair chance for the pennant next year.

He stinks

I’m disappointed in this GWS side. We’ve sunk so much money and draft picks into this crap and it would be nice to see this bucketload of talent work together and pull this off but no, they will just fall away and be a trophy less bucket of underachievers.

Yeah look there is something to this. Our return to the finals last week seemed to have so much more meaning and flavour being two Victorian teams.

Collingwood have 70% got this

Where’s Broomhead?

Collingwood on a roll

That was disgraceful

Haha, ‘mates’ or superficial golfing journo buddies. ?

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty of this and cut through some of the BS. That first quarter from GWS was the worst quarter of any team this finals series and one of the worst of the year. They should count themselves lucky to be 7 points down. Come on Giants.

Collingwood really should win this. Everything going their way.

When the siren went last night my first thought was “I am going to Perth come he’ll or highwater”. 45 minutes later the chances went to 70% when briefly looking at this. After speaking with my mate who is only sort of keen that went to 50-50 and after sleeping on it I reckon I’m a 30 % chance to go. I can not get the leave on Fri and it is just a massive goddamn amount to fork out for what is not guaranteed to end well. And then if we somehow make it to the next week, that’s another $1000 outlay most likely. i wish like hell it was a bit easier. Adelaide or Sydney and it’s a no brainer but I think this might just be a bridge too far unfortunately.

Joeboy, this was brilliant!

What a fantastic night mk 2! We did it! I know there isn’t something special about writing here moments after the win but these last two weeks I’ve just lost it! We were not particularly great but the big takeaway for me is the we stood up in pivotal moments of the game. The two biggest was red time in the 3rd quarter, and when the Hawks kicked 3 on the trot in the last. The latter was a massive test as we had barely touched the ball in that period, but the ability to win that centre clearance and generate an opportunity through Mlikshakes was something we couldn’t do in the past and from then on we started winning contested ball again and wrestled the momentum back. Sometimes that means so much more in a final that playing the perfect 4 quarter game. Jack Viney - BOG by a very long way. An absolute man possessed. All those training sessions and him getting flogged would have had him so sick of not playing and he has just unleashed in the last few weeks. A man that was made to play finals! Michael Hibberd- In my opinion they were the two best. There were periods in the 2nd and 3rd where the ball spent A LOT of time in defence. Their delivery was pretty good as well and we were under siege. The number of times this guy saved our rear ends is probably not measured by stats and his ability to kick a brilliant weighted ball out of the defensive 50 under pressure to a target is so valuable. The Backline - Along with Hibbo these guys had their work cut out for them. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they were really knackered by half time. Jetta was incredible keeping Breust quiet, an AA forward. Oscar and a Frosty continue to really impress. By the way Oscar hits nearly every short pass to a teammate so it would be refreshing if people would give the maligning treatment a rest now! T-Mac - 10 marks, 3 contested in the 50, 4 deadly goals! When you need a clunker he provides it. So valuable. Gawn and McEvoy had a good duel I thought early but Maxy took over! An kick a goal now too! That mark in the last quarter was something to behold, is equal to our chances. Petracca played a very good game and moved well, thought he chopped his kicks a bit often to be considered in our top 3 but he was much less fumbly than last week. Oliver the clearance king, Brayshaw not as active but two clutch goals. We showed that we can beat quality opposition now with a few more gears to go to. We have exceeded expectations, not getting ahead of ourselves but it is fair to say that we are a good football side and a finals football side. We belong! I want to go to Perth badly. I am probably way too late to the flight booking party and the cash outlay will be ginormous. It could be a bridge too far unfortunately but hoping for some kind of miracle. For now though, just take it all in! Lastly, to all of you. You are the best fans to be associated with. Seeing all the red and blue again and all the people at the Mountain View after on the rooftop bar singing the song was such a privilege. I love you all ❤️
