Does anyone have the inside 50 stats? I know Collingwood had the first 10. I reckon after quarter time Geelong might have won the count but it would be nice to know. I know that after quarter time the Cats had the edge in clearances, albeit scrappy ones compared to when Collingwood cleared it was usually in clean and damaging fashion.

And they had the first 10? So 50-33 after that point. Bloody hell.
Then again, we won the inside 50 count 72-40 when we were spanked by Sydney in the 2016 Prelim.

I think Collingwood had the first 11, so that means we led the count 50-32 from there.
Geez.

Collingwood goals came too easy.
While we missed soda's.
Second half we were much better but just could not make in roads on thier lead.
I'm still livid about the Stanley fiasco
Any reasonable analysis would have raised huge red flags :
> Stanley had broken even earlier in the year with Grundy and had just come off a very good effort against Kreuzer - he was in form
> Blitz had been pantsed by Stef friggin Martin FFS , Grundy is the best follower going around so huge risk
> Blitz out of defence takes direction and flexibility from our settled defence
> Blitz in the ruck meant Sav spent more time rucking than he would had Stanley rucked - weakens our forward line
Much too bigger risk IMHO , we need to admit we have a post Bye and Finals issue and if we haven't addressed this internally someone should be sacked for gross incompetence.
I believe Scott is the fall guy here, as he should be, with prime accountability.
It's a very defensive and unusual statement, immediately post game, to say there are 6 or 7 others responsible as well for the Stanley decision.
I'm always interested in the psychology behind his antics, but only the fly on the wall knows how hard that non-selection was argued.
He has mentioned throughout the season that he is but one of the MC.
Stanley has lost their faith and been pegged as a weak link, irrespective of the bloody weather.
This might be true, but in my opinion it just doesn't matter and shouldn't affect decisions like the one that was made on Friday. The ruckman is such a critical position. Even if your ruckman isn't great, you can't dump him in the first final and unsettle the team like that. It's like playing hockey without a goalkeeper because your goalkeeper isn't great. It's just stupid, over-thinking, arrogant bullshit and it needs to be called out.

You're a little more generous with your definition of coincidence than I. Even a dumb one
To me it's now bordering on a trend, which implies a specific problem.
Intent? By that I mean the individual, and collective group, being intensely focused on their role, and a desire to do whatever it takes to get in front of their man, and win the ball.

Not for me. I liked it. I found it relevant to situations I’ve found myself in where Ive had to back myself.

I'm guessing the ticket sales for Friday night are pretty poor and the AFL is trying to do everything to minimise backlash for this game not being moved to KP
fu** OF AFL:
Meanwhile the AFL started offering cut-price tickets to Friday night’s game on Wednesday. Some Level 1 tickets were offered for $35, and one deal had a family ticket available for as little as $50

Yep has absolutely no time for the likes of you and I,well you anyway
thinks our analysis of the game is infantile and he should never be questioned.Yep tosser.
Would also like to see quick movement from defence rather than the static style but ...
aside from the fact that Scott is wedded to the style (and admittedly it has contributed to stingy low against scores) the team has not played a quick/direct exit from defence style and has little confidence in ability to run out/spot kicks. If they switched completely to that style in a finals game I suspect it would be a disaster.
Practically- I think they have to largely stick to the strategy for taking the ball out of defence but have a lot more running to outnumber at fall of the ball and cover re-entries. Look for fast exits but not craziness.
Overall a massive uptick in energy and intensity is needed. Once to the centre, more first option and then spreading of forwards (rather than the ugly pack at 25 metres out) is needed. Really need to ensure that intercept marking by opposition is minimised (no one was putting a body on Moore last Friday, permitting a clear run at intercept marks - absolutely infuriating).

So we all got sucked in big time on Meltylicous Thursday last week. Hate to think what this week will bring.
If the Eagles play two rucks, plus Waterman, and the two stars, that massively plays to our favour. We could almost get away adding Henderson for Kolo if they do that. Geelong don’t often lose to tall forward lines.
Their mix earlier in the year with Cameron and Pettrucelle would be much more dangerous.
We can thank the bombers ineptitude that they are unlikely to make a change and it gives us a fighting chance.

Stanley should be playing, but what's his mental mind going to be like? When your coach doesn't rate him... So I wonder how is he going to perform.. ( I can't blame him tbh ) I really hope he comes out and kills it, but will he mentally is the biggest thing.
Some people may say his been dropped before and bounce back but this is different as this is a do or die final. Not a home and away game....

They'll be handing out freebies at fed square on Friday to make sure they get 50k plus
Hutchings doesnt have the pace to go with Danger, expect it will be Kelly.
If there's any side you don't play Blicavs in the Ruck it's West Coast, Nic Nat will smash him in the Ruck and they'll have 4 guys over 191cm up forward.

I saw someone on Facebook saying that his work/employer had an offer of 2-for-1 category 1 tickets with a limit of 4 tickets per employee.
It also seems that they aren't selling tickets for the top tier - I haven't seen them on sale at any stage this week; it's becoming laughable
If there's like only 45kin attendance on Friday night then I hope there's pressure on the AFL to explain exactly why the match couldn't be at GMHBA
Putting the cue in the rack?

Nah, they'll just have their lackeys in the commentary box say there's 70k there, when everyone can plainly see it's 40~ odd
Will we ever reach a discussion on the match ups for this weeks game?
