Best Games of 2018?

[MWPP]

AmericanAFL if you have the Watch AFL app I’d click on the TV tab and see when the Collingwood Brisbane Grand Final of 2002 is on. I rate this my favourite ever game, sensational physical contest from fifteen years ago. I think it’s showing a few times today.

Huge call , especially given the team you support . But as a neutral , I agree that it was a cracking game at the time due to the style .

It helps that Tarks has a run

Fantastic finish, don’t want to give too much away

Pure happenstance that I came across that tab for the first time ever around 12:30AM my time (EST- about 14 hours ago) and this game was on. Literally had no idea the app had a tab that streams footy programming- I plan to check that tab frequently moving forward.

Watched the entire second half and really enjoyed it. My take away was the pies seemed to shrink from the moment a bit (along with what seemed to be some questionable calls on critical marks that favored Brisbane).

Very exciting match (the weather changing dramatically a few times added to the overall dynamic).

Also, I’m curious if Anthony Rocca is related to Sav?

Yep Anthony is Sav’s younger brother.

FWIW the game currently on Sav’a playing in (number 36).

I’d recommend catching the first half of the Grand Final at some stage, if only to see how hard the football was that day. Starting in the next fifteen or so.

Yes very surprised this game ranks so high for you given the results, so kudos mate.

Yeah unfortunately couldn’t get the result that day but that Collingwood team played well above their capabilities. Brisbane by all rights should’ve blown them off the park and Collingwood just fought the issue out. In the end just weren’t in the same class.

I’ll always appreciate a great game of football - but definitely would’ve appreciated the result being reversed

Can’t go past the Grand Final for me. Collingwood’s efforts to hang on with Jordan De-Goey producing super footy and WC coming back from a pretty decent deficit. And it was the big dance to boot. Awesome game

Got a few alerts on this thread and realized I hadn't been here in a while. Probably fair to let those who contributed know that I have chosen Melbourne to support.

There will undoubtedly be some who question the sanity of this course of action. And to those I respectfully say: piss off.

Go Dees.

Too bad not my team, but certainly not the worst option. Good luck.

You're a true gentleman.

Let it be a source of pride that in watching the Dees 2018 games, the one that upset me the most (home/away) was vs the Pies.

Also, go Cox.

 

[Jen2310]

Also, go Cox.

Indeed. At least you like Coxy. Can't fault you there.

Yes! Hard for me to root against him. Wishing him the best abd I’ll be rooting him unless it’s against the D’s.

Also really enjoy watching De Goey and Penn.

 

[Jen2310]

Sorry about that Jen- you’re a gentleman??

I would hope not Haha. Not if my name is Jen.

De Goey is brilliant and so fun to watch. You'll see that come our two clashes this year.

No questions, just my commiserations...

Really sorry. I deleted that post because autocorrect changed my post from man to woman. Obviously. There would be no reason for the post otherwise, based on me originally calling you a gentleman in an earlier post.

Ugh. Thank you for your understanding in my choosing a team other than the Pies- you’re a good person.

I'm just glad to see american come to like our sport. So whomever you chose would have been great. Hopefully one day you're able to come down to see a game. Because there is nothing else like it, especially when you chose a team.

Fair play mate. I’m from Philly so I can handle it.

From your lips to gods ears Jen!

Deciding to barrack for Hawthorn now would be like picking Melbourne in 1965.

Been to Philly, fabulous city!

HA! People were saying similar things in ‘09 and ‘10....

Much appreciated mate. I’m pretty proud of it!

Let me know if you ever get back this way and I’ll buy you cheesesteak!

The Pies/Dees Queens Birthday clash always tracks a huge crowd, so if there was one to go to.. (apart from finals) that would be it.

I was so distraught watching the 2018 match.
