Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Nah. They’re blaming Woody for the block. Don’t worry about the s**t kick from Adams, who is just a woeful kick of the footy in general.
Pies can't blame the umpiring. They were beaten three times by WCE this year. They were five goals up and still managed to lose.
Everyone focusing on Maynard block in isolation has a case to argue it wasn’t a block, but it’s the context of what they were paying all game suggests Maynard was stiff but late in grand finals you expect the whistle to be put away and credit to eagles for finding another gear late in game. That McGovern mark was huge.
Probably a more critical moment that won’t get too much mention; on the train on the way home, a couple of pies supporters were lamenting about the centre bounce free against Grundy after pies 2nd goal in 30 seconds early in the last. The bounce of the ball veered towards Grundy meaning he was stuck under the flight and stiff armed the charging lycett to protect his space and apparently that’s a free. Saw a clip this morning and was pretty unlucky. the free led to inside 50 and good mark and goal to vardy and killed the pies early surge and scoreboard pressure on eagles.
To me that summed up our day, those little bounces and moments just didn’t fall the Pies way and it was probably destined to be an eagles flag looking back on it and I can sleep better knowing that sometimes you do need luck (or avoid bad luck)
both teams equally been a deserved winner and there could only be one and that takes away any feeling of bitterness despite the close loss. Plus I’m a little happier knowing there is no tigers 3 peat next year
Congrats eagles (and the ABC’s)

None of this matters, mate.
When you lose a Grand Final there are no excuses, the game is gone and the season is finished.
And Collingwood tends to lose more than others so get used to it!
Need to occasionally remind some around here of that.
“That spud falling over in the goal square” and “but for poor kicking” still gets trotted out on here six years later
There is always a big of luck involved in close matches like that. If it consoles you at all, the 2012 loss hardened the hawks. No matter how many flags we won, the players kept talking about 2012. Similar happened at Geelong. If your group is good enough they will be back.Everyone focusing on Maynard block in isolation has a case to argue it wasn’t a block, but it’s the context of what they were paying all game suggests Maynard was stiff but late in grand finals you expect the whistle to be put away and credit to eagles for finding another gear late in game.

I'm getting a bit anti-cox because of how ridiculously pumped up he was by the media in prelim week.
That fall happened right in front of me - you’ll forgive me if that’s some mental scarring I can’t move past.
Seeing all the fans get a USA flag on their jumpers and hats and stuff was insane. He's one player. Who's played one outstanding game.Did you know he is from Texas in the USA? Not sure if it's been mentioned before. And by some strange coincidence, his family is also from Texas in the USA.

And not only that, according to BT, “if he kicks this, he’ll be bigger than Texas!”.Did you know he is from Texas in the USA? Not sure if it's been mentioned before. And by some strange coincidence, his family is also from Texas in the USA.

From a neutral POV, I thought Collingwood had the rub of the green and the bounce of the ball going their way for the majority of the game FWIW. That’s not to rub salt into the wound, just to give you a neutral perspective.
It was a 6 goal turnaround from quarter time, that’s including some very gettable misses, two posters in the last quarter and Darling dropping a pud in the goal square. Collingwood dominated the first, five straight, but from that point on West Coast were probably an 8 or 9 goal better team.
I thought the worst decision of the day was the Jeremy Howe non holding the ball.
Edit - worst decision of the day was Collingwood supporters chanting “USA, USA...”, shocking decision. Howe HTB the second worst.
Yeah, that's what they said about the Pies and Eagles last yearNot next year, no.
Probably Leon Cameron's turn next year.

I don’t understand the Eddie stuff - I see him in the same mould as JK. Two guys who are passionate about their clubs and constantly at odds with the AFL.
I suppose if it had been us, these same gleeful comments about JK would be scattered across Social media as well
Unfortunately, Leon is not up to it.Probably Leon Cameron's turn next year.
