Pies only got an extra 880 against the Giants in Preliminary Final than the Tiges did in their r23 H&A game against the Lions.Are we waiting for the pies to come back big time?
Only 74k to a prelim is a very poor crowd. We got 94k to a GWS prelim.
It’s a myth you are the biggest club..
We smash membership records (don’t make up numbers like your club does)
We smash crowd numbers... (first club to get a million through the gate)...
Name anything your club is bigger at...

Collingwood haven't travelled this series and scored a week's break after winning a qualifying final gifted at their home ground- same ground as the prelim, where GWS don't play on regularly and aren't great on when they do.See the post above yours.
Yeah you're probably right, but i think i would rather our choke in a prelim, than choking all year like Melbourne did.Collingwood haven't travelled this series and scored a week's break after winning a qualifying final gifted at their home ground- same ground as the prelim, where GWS don't play on regularly and aren't great on when they do.
Their opposition spends the week facing intense media attention over a contentious suspension, are travelling interstate for the second week in a row after an intense semi-final, and has half their squad unavailable.
Yet Collingwood still managed to find a way to piss it up the wall.
That's an absolutely massive choke.
Flattered you think we choked, personally I thought we just weren't very good.Yeah you're probably right, but i think i would rather our choke in a prelim, than choking all year like Melbourne did.
That's why teams lose, but you brought up the choke bit, so i went with it.Flattered you think we choked, personally I thought we just weren't very good.
i think eventually the AFL will withdraw support for the poorer teams so they will have to merge to survive. Then teams in the Tassie and N.T states can be implemented.Yep.
But if you look at it realistically there are too many teams in Victoria.
WA or SA may be able to cater for a 3rd team, there should be a team in Tassie and the Gold Coast is a failed experiment that aint gonna work.
You'll never be able to cut or merge the 3 or 4 teams from Victoria though. No-one would allow it.
The talent pool is becoming too thin because of the number of clubs.
The draw is inequitable etc etc.
Anything can happen on the day. Specially in those conditions.Collingwood haven't travelled this series and scored a week's break after winning a qualifying final gifted at their home ground- same ground as the prelim, where GWS don't play on regularly and aren't great on when they do.

Couldn’t disagree more.i think eventually the AFL will withdraw support for the poorer teams so they will have to merge to survive. Then teams in the Tassie and N.T states can be implemented.
I guess we will see what the next ten years brings.Couldn’t disagree more.
AFL wants 20 teams eventually to have a 19 round comp to finally get rid of what can only be described as a rigged system
Pies have more flags

You’d need to consider that Prelim was your first in almost 20 years. Yesterday was our 9th in that period of time. The tiger faithful was going to turn out in massive numbers for it no matter what.
EDIT: Our ‘02 Prelim vs Adelaide (first since 1990) got just under 89,000, which was under 3,000 less than the actual Grand Final that year. MCG was at a reduced capacity FYI
The fact you were playing your first Prelim in almost 20 years compared to Collingwood’s 9th doesn’t matter?Adelaide is not a good example to draw on... crows supporters travel and would have had 15-20k at that game.
Which prelim did GWS play last year?The fact you were playing your first Prelim in almost 20 years compared to Collingwood’s 9th doesn’t matter?
When you played GWS, they were playing in their second Prelim ever. This time around is their 4th in a row, with no one giving them a chance to win. Would their supports be more inclined to attend this one or the 2017 one?
The weather was s**thouse too. (I had to bloody sit in it)
If you’re going to compare, make it like for like at least.
After re watching the game I was too harsh on Buckley.
Who is the midfield and stoppages coach though? Lack of synergy between Grundy and his midfield is a disgrace

If you haven’t had sex for 20 years, how excited will you be for that first time? Will you have the same level of excitement for it if it’s happening multiple times in recent years?Prelim Final fatigue? Come on we have been nice till now....
