Toast PF = Collingwood 58-57 GWS

[Chrispiesssss]

I’m gonna party till tomorrow night in Marjorca!!!

 

[No SPIN]

You think so? I’m the opposite. Will need a massive turnaround in performance next week, and I’m not sure we have it in us.

Pressure pressure pressure - that’s what wins GF’s. To apply, sustain and endure it.

 

[DinoSoar]

Me in the last 5 minutes

Me too, I copped an alert/warning from my Apple Watch regarding an elevated heart rate whilst appearing to be sitting still and not exercising between 10 & 10:15pm. This magnificent club will be the death of us

Firstly I don't think the bye was good for us you can practice and train as much as you like but there is nothing like an actual game and the pressure that comes with it. Secondly the forward line wasn't as functional as usual but our defence held well I thought.

GWS are a good team and really tested us and against odds we held on.

Shame about McStay as he will be a huge loss.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Listened to Fly’s presser

What a legend of a bloke

No wonder Jordy is thriving under him

Naicos didnt celebrate straight away at the final siren, he went straight over to console Toby Greene

A beautiful empathatic human being showing true class.

 

[Hardas]

Steele's mark right on the line!

Bad luck, Toby.

So close!

And yet so far...

 

[Hazz]

Feel like I did after the 2010 GF draw. Sort of empty and broken.

Hopefully we come out next week and do what we did in the 2010 replay.

Agree. Had the same though that hopefully this is the scare GF1 in 2010 gave the boys and we come out next week and play with freedom.

 

[3rdMan]

Nick only had 56% game time for his 24 touches. Not bad. Hope they don't need to manage his minutes as much next week.

This is wrong. He played 80% game time, guess my app hadn't updated.

Suggests his fitness isn't an issue then, which is good.

Pressure pressure pressure - that’s what wins GF’s. To apply, sustain and endure it.

Our pressure was immense in patches tonight, but outside those patches we were ripped open. Was terrifying to watch. That’s what is worrying me sick.

GWS were also outstanding, and may be the second best team after us. That is my only hope - that we’ve already beaten the next best.

A very anxious week coming up!

 

[Hazz]

I'd go this way to be honest. He at least provides a contest and is more of a wildcard than Frampton. Should have played a game or two later in the year to be more confident doing that though.

Play Frampton in the Ruck and Cameron in Dans role?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Lippa played out of his skin tonight. For sure have him down for the Norm Smith next week.

Tell him to play in his skin from now on please.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’m heading out on Mallorca!!! Tonight is gonna be wild!!

 

[Antz]

I thought Cox was enormous tonight with his ruck work and competing for marks.

That's it for now, more when I have watched replay.

Also, don't think the bye helped us and we should be much better next week.

Dont forget

Yep.
That last part is so true.
A good reminder to play with more dare.
(Think Nick will go ballistic next week).

JDG was just immense.
IQ, Murph & Howey - hell, the whole backline were really good.
Crispy a bit fumbly at times but very important.

Team defense held up again.

 

[Woody15]

I love my club but heck me theyve shaved a few years off my life the last few seasons.

 

[AssassinAndy]

What a gutsy win. Thought Mitchell was huge in the second half, stood up in the contest as the game was slipping away in the 3rd.

A very anxious week coming up!

We beat them at their own game, our run in the first and 3rd combined with a Clearance smashing in the second half.
Don’t underestimate how good we were - we’ll hear enough of how unlucky GWS were from commentators.

A very anxious week coming up!

STEP ONE: Fly out tomorrow morning to Bangkok; change to domestic flight to Chiang Mai.
STEP TWO: Taxi up to near Chiang Rai for 2 or 3 days of opium-enhanced dreamy sleep by the river.
STEP THREE: Reverse trip in time for captain's run, and a bit more sleep.
STEP FOUR: Witness our next premiership, but take it a bit easy in the celebrations as you've had a pretty big week, VP.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

You Farkin Beauty!!!!!.....

Finally home, and still hasn't sunk in, we're into our 45th Grand Final. Even that number of GF's amaze me...
Never been to a game feeling nervous, anxious, scared and on edge, practically the whole game.
I thought in that second quarter when the Giants got a run on, we were in a bit of bother. They seemed to have their run and carry game going their mids were getting on top, and l thought this was the end of our season coming, so the flatness and the depressive state was starting to set in....
Then came our run in that third quarter. For us to kick 5 out of the next 6 goals, was brilliant. We were sitting right along the fence (Row B), and when McCreery kicked that goal to put us ahead, down our end, l have never heard a roar like it. It verberated through me.
DeGoey has made his name as a genuine super star of the competition, he was awesome. Thought our midfield were special in that second half. I think we ended up smashing them in clearances, with our big clearance last quarter.
Quaynor was fantastic, Howey very good, as to was Crispy. I thought both Cox and Cameron stood up. Naicos needed the run, but l still thought he was influential at times, particularly when he went to HB. Pendles and Sidey, just showed their class and experience all night. Fantastic for these two to get into another GF...
Hopefully McStay is given every opportunity to play in the GF.....!!!

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Hodge looks filthy

This farking see you next Tuesday is always commentating our games and is oblivious to us as a team. He just watches the opposition and tells us what they need to do. He is absurdly biased and has the worst voice in commentary and if we play Brisbane and he is commentating, there needs to be a book depository or a grassy knoll close by...
