They might be right?

There’s more to success than a good list.

Like not having one of your highest paid players spending his Sunday night on the turps in nightclubs.

I’m not sure turps are the main issue

Brisbane are travelling to Freo if they lose, regardless of the suns game

hawks are travelling to the Giants if Suns win and Freo if the Suns lose

This game just became more critical especially for Brissy

If Brissy win…go bombers!

Don't want Dogs to make it, go Suns.

Who do we want to win out of Lions and Dorks? What result advantages Pies the most?

I only care about Collingwood and what makes it hardest for our main rivals. And Brisbane or Hawthorn having to travel to Perth in a knockout game ticks that box

I can't barrack for Hawks. I don't want them to get a double chance. Knocked out in their first final would be my preference.

Personal pragmatic view is we want to finish third and play the Cats at the G . Romantic view from many is play the Crows .

Whilst I agree with sentiment I only care about what’s best for Collingwood. Although that too is a flip of the coin

 

[IlovethePies]

Arguably the best forward line in the game and the best midfield in the game and will miss finals with a 140%.No better case in footy for focusing on defence first.

And I sure hope Fly was watching carefully. Dogs had numbers forward, something like 16-4 i50s in the first, kicked a lot of points and all it took is composed and fast slingshot from Freo to blow the game open. This is footy this year and we have to adapt. We know how to do it having been the major player of that game two years ago but it will take shuffling the magnets and mindset.

We remembered how to play fast corridor football in the last quarter against Melbourne, thankfully.

Critical for Hawks too - they can still finish anywhere from third (if they have a comfortable win) to eighth (if they lose and Suns comfortably beat Essendon as expected)

Fair

I personally would like the chance to go and support the boys at the g, so hoping we play geelong week 1. Which would require a hawks win with a margin less than 12 or so points.

I guess I don't want to meet Hawks in a final either, so that would be best for us in my mind.

I can hit the missus up for a “romantic” night in front of the TV shouting profanities at every Adelaide player and umpire. She’ll be weak at the knees with excitement

Yeah I think a game against Adelaide is more dramatic and exciting. Shame we have to travel, but doesn’t personally bother me. Might even mean we get some favourable fixturing to accomodate.

If Bris lose and are headed to Perth that shouldn’t hold fears.
Won comfortably there recently.

Stakes went up more for the hawks though with a vic team dropping out of the eight and replaced by a WA team

 

[gtrain23]

Doggies are underperforming something chronic
There team is stacked with talent
Yes there backline isn’t crash hot but bloody hell it would be frustrating supporting them

Assuming Suns get up, that means 5 non-Victorian teams in the finals, dunno if that has ever happened before?

 

[Doc1763]

it goes without saying, but its time for some.....

 

[Leigh aka Frogs]

Thinking about that WB-supporting knobhead who came onto our page about six weeks back gloating about Hill.

Not sure . It’s good for football. I only care about one team though!

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

5 mins and almost over Kane Cochroachs voice.
Another reason for a Hawks loss..

 

[SuperSub17]

Kane’s glazing of Hawthorn is ****ing disgusting

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Probably a question for another thread but which non finalist had the most disappointing season?

My vote is for the Dogs . Honorable mentions to Blues and Swans along with north who should have advanced somewhat this year

Has to be Sydney ‘Bloods Culture’ Swans.
