Might go for a looksie.

Not often a team wins a GF by kicking less goals.

We are the only team to have done it in the VFL/AFL although the Dopers did draw with Melbourne in the 1948 GF despite only kicking 7 goals to Melbourne's 10 (7.27 to 10.9).

7.27? were they tanking in a gf? clearly pre-coleman.........

 

[Burgers45]

Yep , number one will be arriving next year.

Let's hope it's a grand-daughter.

 

[Burgers45]

Same here as well. Having subsequently watched the '68 GF a few times over the years, it was a great result for us, but an extremely ugly game of football. We didn't miss much.

I think it's the only GF where a participating team kicked more goals and lost the game.

I was there and I was pretty happy with the result.

I knew you'd been for a look !
I saw a "like" here and there that you left for them..
A little different to the tugs board last week where it was an instant holiday for breathing .

Little something I just made, not sure how long it will last on yt. Feel free to gif it, meme it copy it and spread it.

 

[footyfan1978]

I know, but I always like emphasising it to Collingwood supporters to stick it up 'em.

Arghh. Another beautiful human. Love that commitment to the cause.

 

[footyfan1978]

was there unfortunately........

So you were the corrupt bookie rigging it ?

 

[thylacine60]

I seen him.

The Norm Smith medallists was a priority pick for Eagles....
Their other priority pick Darling played an almost Kouta like third quarter, taking mark after mark.

Next decade we are likely to be the first premiership club in decades that did not get some massive leg up in forms of priority picks, start up concessions, merger concession or numerous father/son lucky breaks before bidding system come in to pay fairer value for such luck. New era coming as the old one is playing out to favour the priority pick era lifting teams up to premiers in last two decades. 2020's bring it on. Now you got to truly build up through draft from scratch without priority picks from first round of draft. We look like first club doing it this way. The pay off will be huge in time and the feeling knowing it is done without all those big legs up, never forget....

Kicked 2.9 in the 2nd quarter, giving them a half time score of 2.15.

Didn't have Coleman, but had a couple of handy players by the name of Reynolds & Hutchison.

 

[The Fantom]

I don’t think I need to say anything.....

 

[katmanblue]

[Sector 7G]

Game put to bed any thoughts Rance is the best tall defender in the comp.

JMcG is awesome( and doesn’t need to dive to win a contest)

 

[Sector 7G]

Love the way WC played.

Talls taking marks, smalls handpassing correctly not throwing it and Shuey not ducking

Must be the first GF where I can’t remember a goal from a free. Well umpired and well played ( though pies probably needed to push the line harder to prevent WC marking)

Happy day 1 of 360 odd days of the Pies not winning a flag.

Aint life grand.

Yes.

Their game style is a good mix of control and attack although they probably needed to get more reward for effort.

To come back after 5 goals down, not panic and grind out a win was amazing.

They're my tip for next years flag. Got all the pieces and now they have belief . Their game style is not as physically taxing as the Dogs of 2016 and the Tigers of 2017.

 

[KnobHead]

Was drinking with some Pies friends last night - they kept replying the Steed mark, thinking it was a free kick, like somehow if they kept watching it the umpire would reverse the decision.

It’s going to be a beautiful year coming up.

Eagles probably should’ve won by a few more goals
