Well I’ll be rooting for Hawthorn in their semi final v Demons. We’ll beat them at their own game, especially with Stratton out

KOLOKOTRONIS

I have a feeling Melbourne will win but I'm hoping for Hawks. Melbourne are up and about.

I think Collingwood have GWS covered at the MCG.
Melbourne to smash the Hawks.

I think GWS are coming into as good a run of form as anybody and should beat the Pies.

GWS have won 1 of their last 3. Also they'll most likely be missing Josh Kelly.

Then we have to consider the crowd, with 40 or so GWS fans being drowned out by what could be the most hypocritical crowd in finals history.

Collingwood to win.
 
So.

It was pretty obvious we changed our style to a more Richmond-like, hack it forward no matter what in that last quarter. And it worked.

Will we keep playing like that or revert to the style that led us to second on the ladder?

With JK, Darling, LeCras, Cripps, Willie and Flyin' we have a once in a generation forward line. Should we be playing a style that gets the ball to them the fastest way possible? The pressure in on, and Shuey isn't as good as he thinks he is. I'm thinking we should be bashing it forward and banking on that forward line to deliver. And if there is a turnover, we have a pretty damn good backline too.
 
Would rather play Hawks than Melbourne..
But it would very satisfying to rip the Demons a new one, on the way to a GF...
(not sure how likely that is?)

Also Shuey gets a solid tag most games, sometimes he's well held like last night.
But usually contributes some quality disposals, line breaking, meterage and one percenters.
So what if he got caught htb a few times, that's finals footy pressure..and the Pies!
Players stack up differently against different direct opponents in different teams..
They put their best tagger on Shuey...and Yeo gets off the chain!
to say 'Shuey is not as good as he thinks he is"....is a bit rich.

You can just see the headlines and twitter outrage about the umpires/crowd if we knocked melbourne out of the finals as they are the 'fairytale' feel good story this year

See that’s where they are so wrong. West coast haven’t won for more than a decade and have had to endure so much with the gaff suspension, nic going down etc. Having to play at a new home ground must also be mentally tough. Told we’d win the spoon by Robert and yet we’ve been so very very brave. Step aside peoples, it’s time for an eagles fairytale!

Funny to think we beat the pies and Melbourne in the finals of 94.

Interesting to note that Dean Cox had only 5 possessions less than Mason Cox on Saturday and he hasn’t played for five years.
Just goes to show that no matter how big your Cox is it doesn’t equate to match winning possessions and goals on the scoreboard.
