Fork 'em

The Cats , Dogs and the Aints are done boy's . Time for the Demons to step up , finals next year , contenders the year after .

The Pies were the hunters this year and no doubt driven for flag success after being around the mark for a few years now . We did see that when they are the hunted as by us in our 2 meetings they are vunerable . Be interesting to see if they can keep the intensity/disipline up with a Premiership medallion safely tucked away in their back pockets. Hawthorn couldn't .

I've seen Clarkeson and Sheedy on the sidelines coaching , Maybe even Malthouse this year ... Not sure .

Pfft ..... But thats JMO .

Abit of inside info . Lowe gave Kossie his jumper because the kid idolised him and was struggling mentally at the time due to a persistant back injury that was keeping him from the field while Reiwoldts star was rising rapidly .

Twiggy Dunns mark and goal is remembered , the rest , not so much . Goddards mark was the greatest in a GF IMO though , for timing , height and to put them in front late .

No way , likely to knockout our proper players with his stupidity . Couldn't believe how dumb he was today , then again he was true to form .

I think if they had've won it would've . Now ... Dunno .

That the mindnumbing "Saints footy" is officially dead. Couldn't stand watching the Swans play when they were winning and can't stand watching the Aints play their version under Lyon. He's had 3 chances with their stop start stoppage game and failed each time. I look forward to watching the fast flowing stuff that the game is evolving into.

Big call on Morton being our Goddard . Morton will never have the grunt of Goddard or the Elite kicking skill .

Gotta be the dopiest footballer playing the game . From knocking out Reiwoldt in the Prelim to his late hit causing a head clash with a teammate today .

They may have Wellman but they don't have Frawley , Garland , Rivers or Grimes . Maybe the next backline coach will sort out the kick ins .

I think with Collingwood they don't fart around while the ump is waving the flags . The kicker races to the bag of balls and starts looking for a target as soon as a point is scored . The ball is back in play before the opposition has time to set up zones etc .

If Lenny Hayes missed out on the NSM he woulda been stiff aswell . In and under tough stuff and also really noticable late in the game . Goddards mark puts Leo Barry's to shame , that was a real GF highlight. Huge mark in time on and kicked the goal ... Awesome .

Whats Kirk doing next year ? Might be a handy assistant coach . Could let us in on the secret to keeping the players uninjured for starters .

I only got to the 5th comment and seems they couldn't care less . Maybe they don't see their alternate strip as a surrender jumper like us . You can really see the different mindset for Sainst fans stemming from being so close for so long . As far as the supporters are concerned they've been at 11:00 on Malthouse's Premiership clock for the last 7-8 years and they are oooh soo close , they don't care what they're wearing .

I'd imagaine the Saints would be ropeable about this as their most famous GF winning photo is of Baldock accepting the premiership cup wearing a Collingwood jumper , something which has stuck in the throat of Saint fans since 1966. Surely they'll give the forks to the AFL over this .

Noooo Lauren , say it aint so . Just dropped a peg or 2 in my eyes .

Don't let Thomas's appearence fool you , he's alot tougher than many think . If players get the opportunity to crunch him , they do , and he gets up and gets on with the game . Credit where it's due . Didak on the other hand , if he can jump out of the way , he will . Noticed he went 1 handed on at least 2 occasions last night . He's talented sure , but soft .

Can't stand the Saints and their "Saints footy' but my hatred of the Pies runs deep in my core . Will never forget my introduction as a kid to Victoria Park . Greeted at the turnstyles by a retarded bloke in a wheelchair telling me to "F#$% off Melbourne !" As for the game , would love a couple of key injuries and then relentless atrocious kicking for the rest of the game . Looking forward to seeing Malthouse in tears again .

I thought they played some great footy against Casey and will be competitive sooner than many think with the new signings .

Yeah well , I don't blame 'em .

Leave Lauren alone , one of the few WAG's with any class .

Gotta say I'm surprised Eddie didn't put 1 of his boys front and centre like usual . Good luck Tom .

Spot on about being twofaced and I 2 would love to see him smashed . Earlier in the year he was campaigning in the media against carrying knives etc. which is fair enough . On 7's sunday morning footyshow he was asked if he could beat Hall in a fight , "Do I have weapons ?" he asked. Fine example Harry .
