[South of the Yarra]

Pies by 83

 

[MarcMaverick]

Game should be on Friday Night though.

 

[Jibroni]

Def the biggest game against Collingwood in my lifetime, huge advantage for the winning team.

Would love to see Grundy play but cant see it.

Dees by 17

 

[Angus Young]

This is the real Grand Final ( two best teams in it)

Winner of this will be premiers.

 

[YeoShuey]

Compared to last time they played, Elliott is back for the Pies and he averages about 2 goals a game against Melbourne.

Other ins include De Goey, Sidebottom, McStay etc. Strengthens the team even more when Melbourne were only missing Oliver.

So I'd have to say Collingwood. It will be a good game regardless.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Winner wins the flag.

This will be this year's equivalent of Geelong/Collingwood QF last year. Path opens up so much for whoever gets it done.

Dees by 9 points IMO.

 

[JackFlash]

Should be a good game for a while, but the Pies will be too good and win by 30 points.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Demons by 27.

 

[BG32]

This game being on Thursday night is criminal by the AFL

 

[TheKanga]

Looking forward to this one.
Collingwood plays a good brand to watch as a neutral.

 

[MarcMaverick]

This game being on Thursday night is criminal by the AFL

I know. Why not Friday night? Thursday nights are for Elim finals, traditionally, no?

The AFL love looking after the Blues gifting them a Friday night game.

Its not even announced yet

 

[MarcMaverick]

Its not even announced yet

Oh you just know that the AFL loves the giving the Blues unearned Prime-time slots on a Friday. Nothing surer.

 

[Xtreme]

Melbourne have little chance

Collingwood too strong all over the ground. Not even Ben Brown

could save Melbourne from losing by 50 points.

 

[PCORF]

Should be a blinder of a game in front of over 90,000.

 

[My Tilly]

Collingwood by 15 points.

 

[danster168]

I still think the loss of Petty is going to come back to bite us. He's a hell of a player and his injury really changes our entire structure. I think the pies might get this one.

 

[QPower]

On the form line, Dees should win this fairly comfortably.

Media loves selling Hopium to Pies fans, hence the perception this is close.

 

[QPower]

This is the real Grand Final ( two best Victorian teams in it)

Winner of this will be premiers.

Fixed it for you. You’re welcome.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I still think the loss of Petty is going to come back to bite us. He's a hell of a player and his injury really changes our entire structure. I think the pies might get this one.

I don't get the fapping over Petty as a forward. He only played there for a couple of weeks before he was out and you've won several games since, so he hasn't really been missed. Fritsch was back today and he's probably your best forward, he won the game today, won the GF, big game performer.
Plus you have JVR, Pickett, Trac, Smith, Gawn resting forward, TMac (5 goals today), Schache, Spargo, Grundy.... as well as Brown and Melksham if they weren't injured.
Absolutely spoilt for choice up forward like no other team in the comp.

Dees by 20 points.

 

[And_ROOS]

Compared to last time they played, Elliott is back for the Pies and he averages about 2 goals a game against Melbourne.

Other ins include De Goey, Sidebottom, McStay etc. Strengthens the team even more when Melbourne were only missing Oliver.

So I'd have to say Collingwood. It will be a good game regardless.

But last time Pies had Daicos who is missing, and is Moore confirmed to be back?

Because Moore and Daicos out are massive. Dees might be missing Fritsch from their line up and he scored 3 against the Pies.

 

[Angus Young]

Fixed it for you. You’re welcome.

two best teams. not my fault they are from victoria.

TMac is a spud, Grundy is a spud, Schache is a spud, Brown is worse than a spud. just naming players doesn't mean that they're good. The fact that those players you listed are so bad is the exact reason why the Petty lose was huge.

You're right, Petty only played forward for a few weeks before he was injured. But he showed a lot in those weeks.

A couple of injuries concerns to Melbourne
