A Carlton vs Collingwood grand final

[CrowToon]

Sure, If bigger meant way smaller.

Which is yet another reason the MCG neutral grand final idea is bogus. Should be full every year or the theory doesn't stack up.

 

[T2B_]

Carlton people don't deserve happiness straight out whereas Collingwood fans don't know what to do with happiness.

What does this even mean

 

[Checksider]

Is Troy Pannell looking for a return to umpiring?

17-1 incoming.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

So many people saw this being manufactured weeks ago as it would be the perfect commercial swansong for Gil's reign.

I don't actually think last night was manufactured, Melbourne just s**t the bed but boy oh boy I don't know if AFL house could restrain themselves with the prospect being so close.

With that being said I would probably go for Collingwood. Carlton people don't deserve happiness straight out whereas Collingwood fans don't know what to do with happiness.

The AFL set up Melbourne to go out in straight sets 2 years in a row.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Would Dan Andrews being an Essendon supporter call it off?

The ******* idiot would put a tax on it.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Won’t happen.

Giants will pump the pies next week.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'd be surprised if any neutral gave a crap honestly.

If it happens, there is every chance it turns out like Richmond vs GWS in 2019.

Melbourne vs Collingwood was the most intriguing match up, but the Demons blew it with poor kicking in 2 consecutive weeks.

Collingwood vs Brisbane is definitely the most anticipated game.

Brisbane vs GWS would throw a massive spanner in the works though wouldn't it...

 

[Oscarman]

It's been obvious for at least 6 weeks.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Would Dan Andrews being an Essendon supporter call it off?

If there was a $100M cancelation fee, he would.

 

[Cmarsh]

Lions vs. GWS would be bigger

Well if anything it would prove how ridiculous having the final in Melbourne every year is.

Just can't be taken seriously as a National sport with this arrangement.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Would Dan Andrews being an Essendon supporter call it off?

Of course Dan Amdrews is an Essendon supporter.

 

[Humblebob]

It's been obvious for at least 6 weeks.

Just imagine if they Dees hadn’t s#%t the bed in consecutive weeks. They could have thwarted their dastardly plans, oh well, might take a team built of Sterner stuff

 

[Obzerva]

If it happens, I’m looking forward to see who’s wearing the clash guernsey, oh wait, it’s Carlton v Collingwood, as you were.

 

[Elixuh]

It’s really Carlton and Collingwood’s flag to lose now

 

[Outtatym]

Well if anything it would prove how ridiculous having the final in Melbourne every year is.

Just can't be taken seriously as a National sport with this arrangement.

Fitzroy supporters might enjoy it

 

[kranky al]

Well if anything it would prove how ridiculous having the final in Melbourne every year is.

Just can't be taken seriously as a National sport with this arrangement.

We wish to be taken seriously as a national sport and wish to aggressively expand into nrl territory in another parochial af state.

Our tactics for this are to have Victoria as the centre of the afl universe.

 

[gandaal]

What does this even mean

He's suggesting that Carlton supporters are horrible people, and that Collingwood supporters are as thick as two bricks.

 

[JasRulz63]

I expect the umpiring in the prelims to make it happen will be diabolical. The AFL loves nothing more than a narrative that sells.

 

[JackFlash]

There's more chance of a Giants vs. Lions Grand Final...

 

[mr bagcroft]

There's more chance of a Giants vs. Lions Grand Final...

I'd love to see this, just to stick it to the AFL.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Possible but can't see us beating Lions up there.
Will be a good result if we can keep it within 2-3 goals.

OTOH they'd also love a Queensland love child being in the Grand Final as well.

 

[Forever North]

Would prefer if Carlton makes it and Collingwood doesn’t. Just for a cheap laugh.

 

[freddy mercury]

PLEASE HAPPEN!

 

[YeoShuey]

AFL will make it happen, will send up the same umps as tonights game.

Usually they rotate the umps between home and interstate finals I think. Most likely the ones from last night will be sent to Brisbane next week.

It would not surprise me if there are changes to the lineup as well.
