Yeah I can remember when they used to send Garry down to ticketek and it would be sold out in 10 minutes. The only bad thing about the footy show is Sam will be back and who knows what rant he will go on about. On the other hand Trev is back and I'm sure he will have a few jokes coming Ed's way.

Each gf day I have a bet on the 1st goal kicker. Toby Greene might be a good choice. But has someone told the GWS supporters that there is a gf parade on the day before and it would be probably be nice for the giants to have some supporters there.

They have lost a gf and now a prelim by a total of 9 points. Admittedly if that was us you would be totally gutted. Not sure how much coverage it will get in sydney but they got there. Well at least Jordan D'Goey will be right for the pre season with his magic hamstring work done by Hans. Just saw Kevin Sheedy will present the cup if the giants win. Well Bucks is free to present the norm smith medal now. It's his turn. But I get why they got Simon Black to do it.

I think I actually enjoyed seeing them lose by 4 points. I mean when Cameron kicked the goal in the final term I was hoping they would go on and bury them but as nerve racking as it was to watch, I kind of enjoyed seeing them lose another tight final.

Christ, I always thought the pies would come back and in those few minutes I suspected they would win. I had an image of a pies player marking it before or on the siren and kicking a goal to win. Thankyou GWS. I don't really like you but you have done something really good this afternoon. Now we won't have to put up with a week of a tigs/pies grand final. They didn't even make the top 4 and beat the dogs, lions in brisbane and now the pies. In saying that i'm a tad annoyed that these gews supporters may see there team win a premiership after being in the competition only 10 years. But gee the defending of gws in those final moments was fantastic, to do it with all those players missing and Davis playing injured it was a great effort. Now I can enjoy the grand final. I can just cope if the tigs did win, more so than the pies winning. But it will be interesting to see how the giants will cope on the big stage. It's a different crowd and atmosphere.

I fear this isn't over yet. Collingwood will come hard. But gee gws just look better around the ball and are using it better. I really hope they can hang on. Plus the pies are playing 1 short. Brody Mihocek not a stat.

It's like when the pies player gave away a blatant kicking in danger and he says not much in that. The pies player made contact with the giants player hand.

Giants just can't get that goal to get in front. Gee these conditions are made for Toby Greene and he would be doing better than Ian Hill who is having a shocker. Come on giants you are in it, just make smarter decisions instead of just bombing it into the 50. Cameron is a great kick for goal. How was that not grabbing the jumper?

If you are mumford you would just bang straight into grundy 1st bounce.

Still blame hawthorn for giving the pies an easy ride to the prelim with gifting them a top 4 chance. Seeing Joffa and all the filth fans walking over the bridge chanting just makes you want to throw up. Hopefully he is looking miserable at the end. Ed to in the stands, hopefully he is looking angry. Interesting to hear David Teague and some of the carlton players were there last night obviously wanting to see his players gain insight to what finals footy is about. I know we were in a prelim last year but some of our young boys that haven't had finals experience hopefully have tuned in to see what finals is all about.

Preuss needs to work on his marking for starters then learn how to play forward and crash packs apart.

Is todays timeslot due to GWS able to get home tonight if they win so they aren't staying in melbourne another night? Because if it was at night they wouldn't get back in time for the sydney airport curfew. But go gws today. I just don't think I could survive a week of a rich/coll gf build up. Last year I went to sydney to get out of the gf for the weekend, this year I can't afford to go anywhere plus I have to work the next day.

Gee I hope the curse of finishing on top and going out doesn't go over to the nrl tonight. Go melbourne storm.

Gee just think 12 months ago we were gearing up to play our prelim all excited and after the first 10 minutes it was over.

Gee if you saw hawkins in the rooms last night, if you were a player or Chris Scott you would be fuming. You would almost want to go up to him and say hope that hit was worth it because you let us down.

He was brilliant down back in the 2nd half.

He would have left our club years ago. Dusty wouldn't have hung around during our bad periods.

Ugh yuck. I think if the filth get through tomorrow I may ask Dutton to deport me somewhere. Seriously geelong were pathetic in that 2nd half. They just crumbled. Interestingly we didn't see Chris Scott being shown in the box in the final term. But those 2nd quarter misses really hurt them. They kicked 1 goal in each of the 3rd and final quarters. This was the team that finished on top. Ablett can no longer kicked the ball over 45 metres, Dahlhaus provided nothing and Danger was not sen in the final term. Wonder what Chris Scott will say in his presser. GWS please please do us a favour and knock the filth put tomorrow.

huge last quarter. The geelong stars need to stand up. Judging by that 3rd quarter Id suggest Harry Taylor give up the game. Lynch has buried him and he just looks slow. I still want the cats to win.

I can see why the 50 was paid with Cotchin throwing it back to Houli instead of danger. . Gee Geelong peppered away at the goals there and should be up by more. I'm still going for geelong. gee the tigs could be hampered by injuries. Martin isn't right, Townsend can't lift his shoulder and Cotchin got a knock.

I can kind of see why gws are disappointed, and also Id be pretty annoyed if I saw one of the people that sat on this case in the collingwood rooms the week before with the scarf on. I know Shane Wakelin wouldn't be thinking oh Im going to decided to rub him out because he is playing collingwood but it would still annoy. you.

Why didn't he drink the drink instead of putting it in the cup? Matthew Lloyd said last night on FC when he was 16 he had to do a sample, the testers were there at 6 and he couldn't provide a sample until 10. I guess Rioli just got impatient and frustrated. Unfortunately now the rumour mill goes into overdrive.

Greene reportedly offered a week. Stupid boy. Does he not learn from last week

How about GWS knock out collingwood then beat Geelong on grand final day. I could just about handle that. I think I could just about handle seeing Chris Scott and Danger getting beaten.

Part of me would like to see the giants win next week not only to put the pies out but to annoy Eddie.
