Review 2020 Grand Final discussion

[Billyc]

I recommend the “half glass full” approach.

Don’t ask yourself who you would prefer to see WIN because both options are horrible. Ask yourself who you would prefer to see LOSE.

I reckon the loss bounces off Richmond pretty easily. Whereas a Geelong loss will see tears from Dangerfield, Ablett and Selwood and the usual horrible sportsmanship from Scott and Selwood.

When you look at that way, there is really only one answer. Go Tigers (ideally on the back of terrible umpiring or a shambolic score review)

 

[The BIG X]

Hard to work out who to want to win.

1. Scott v Dimmer - Dimmer
2. Selwood v Cotchen - Pass
3. Danger v Dusty - Dusty
4. Lynch v Hawkins - Pass
5. Riewoldt v Rohan - Pass
6. Richmond win and have 13 Flags (equal with HFC) - NO.
7. Geelong win and get to 10 Flags - Pathetic.

Let's just forget 2020.

I think I speak for a fair majority here when I say I couldn't give a sh*t about next week now and don't remember being less enthused for a Granny in a long long time. In fact if they had Bris v Port play off for 3rd I'd watch that on repeat instead.
Is it possible neither side can win next week?

Worst GF match up since 1990 I reckon. 2011 honourable nomination.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Ugh... how many days until the draft??

 

[Birdofprey]

I am utterly disgusted with both interstate teams. Hopeless. This COVID-Cup was their premiership to win. And they couldn’t do it.

To paraphrase Yoda:

“Told you I did. Reckless are these interstate teams. Now, matters are worse.”

yeah, and the fact we had an influx of Cats fans selecting Geelong in the poll last night and troll-liking posts has flipped my thoughts.

Go tigers!

*poll is now public

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

I think I am actually leaning towards Geelong and I don't know how to feel about that.

 

[cryptor]

Richmond the lesser of two evils for me. Hard to find any positives out of either side winning except that it means the other side loses.

So have to find the positives in a side losing. For me there's more positives that come from Geelong losing.

is way worse than Dimma (who's actually alright if it wasn't for the Richmond thing)
- Cats have more flogs that I'd enjoy seeing not win
- By making the GF and not winning they'll probably be very tempted to aggressively trade their first rounders to get players and try again next year (and we might be able to take advantage of that)

At the end of the day there's no good result unless they cancel the GF and have no winner at all in 2020.

 

[Gaston]

I know we all detest Geelong and the antics of Scott and Selwood...but I think I'd prefer them this week.

I don't want Tigers going 3 from 4 (It's been close to 10 years for Cats so you know...meh).

But mostly I just don't like the gross adult version of Auskick the Tigers play and couldn't stand that ugly sh*t getting in the convo of which side was better etc et

A lot of bog ordinary players on the Tigrs list.
Fleet of foot is all they are but one on one, some very poor footballers.

Dusty has to capitalise on all his opportunties because the Tigers have looked flat the last 2 games
and i don't think their scattergun approach is at 100% as per previous years.

Couldn’t be too poor
They’re going for 3 out of 4

 

[H00t]

Hopefully Scott plays danger up forward all game and tigers crush them out of the middle making danger a non-event. Making it one more game where Scott has outsmarted himself.

Do feel he’s been prepping danger for a big game in the centre though.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

if that helps you, then keep thinking that

You’re literally posting on the Hawthorn board, you idiot.

Lol, reading the Hawthorn board after his side makes GF to play against Richmond.
Enjoy the week, stop thinking about Hawthorn

that Richmond aren't going for a fourpeat here...

yeah I can see that u donkey

 

[Endorphin Machine]

The only thing that worries me is that great teams usually screw one gf up along the way. I know the tigers had their prelim loss in 18, hopefully they win this one.... by a point.

 

[Buttonsticher]

Hurts to say but they are the 2 best teams in a slapped together season. Extremely disappointed in the Lions. They couldn't have played more into Geelongs hands if they tried. Either didn't have a plan B or simply couldn't execute it. Ironic that it's the 1st all Vic GF in about 10yrs but being played interstste

U want a salt sandwich!? Sums up you weird hillbilly fuuckers

 

[Kil Phearns]

If Geelong win, we’ll still be the only ones to have beaten them in a GF this century. If Richmond win, then the good old days of Geelong losing GFs will have returned.

 

[The hands of stone]

It pathetic and beautiful all at the same time , absolutely obssesed with us

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

A Rioli plays for Richmond » Cyril will want Richmond to win » I want Richmond to win.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

yeah I can see that u donkey

Go the Tiges.

 

[hamohawk1]

Don't think Geelong were THAT great last night.

Brisbane were shell shocked, and played real sub par footy. Besides the tigers game they were bog average for that last bit of the season. Probably lucky they didn't lose by 10-15 goals.

Correct. They shat the bed.
