AFL Finals Week 1 Discussion

Merrett’s lucky he didn’t get the crap beaten out of him. Grub.

So glad someone mentioned Ellis- he looks like s**t. I've spent 20 years attached to a bong, religiously overeat, and can't stroll to my letterbox without getting gassed and I still look better than that campaigner. He needs to visit a doctor.

If he's one of those blokes who is sick of being recognized around town and decided to eat himself into a completely different person, I'd understand it, but appearing on the telly kind of takes the wind out of that theory.

NicNat is lucky Merrett didn't scratch him and sic the other Essendon mean girls on him.

He's got a name around town as a guy who'll eat anything if nobody's looking

Feels weird but I desperately want Collingwood to win tonight.

Same, just don't want Danger to win a flag.

I just can't stand their fans, I miss the pre 07 cat fans now they're arrogant flogs. Plus I still refuse to acknowledge them, think they're an average side.

+1

I dislike Geelong a lot more than I dislike Collingwood.

Bloody raining at Old Trafford - spoiling a really good night of sport with AFL finals, storm in the NRL and Ashes all on TV!

 

[TheCount]

The commentators are actually right about the jumper clash. Geelong are a light jumper, dark shorts, Collingwood are a dark jumper, light shorts. Probably not a huge deal on field, but from a distance it's a bit difficult to tell who is who at times. What happened to Geelong always wearing white shorts?

Me too. There would be a large slice of hilarity if the cats manage to go out in straight sets this year.

Has Gaz put on some weight this year? None of the others have a jumper that tight. He looks like a tube of toothpaste

I reckon they'll lose to West Coast next week too. They've got a similar pressure game that Collingwood are cutting them up with now, and NicNat will cause them some serious headaches in his 60% game time.

 

[TheCount]

What the hell is going on with Myers' run up?

 

[Dancing Potato]

Geelong are cooked and so is Ablett.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Cats are Melbournesque tonight.

Way to ruin a final.

I reckon it would be difficult on field. Plenty of players making some sloppy decisions. Hard to make quick decisions in traffic as I'd imagine they can't tell a lot of players apart with peripheral vision.

Would explain why the Geelong players have repeatedly run into each other.

 

[HANDSOLO]

Pretty huge second half for Scott’s reputation I reckon

I like the cats, most of my mates go for them so I want them to win

BUT, kardinia park always inflates their finishing position regular season and they don’t seem to be able to step up a gear in finals

 

[TheCount]

The high tackle against Dangerfield when he was expecting a holding the ball free kick is one of the more satisfying things you'll see.

 

[CWaffles]

I hope we go for Elliot

 

[TheCount]

I hope we go for Elliot

The way he started tonight will make sure Collingwood won't let him go ... sadly.

 

[schmuttt]

s**t game tonight to be honest

The 90s Test highlights were better viewing.

Yeah it really has been. Collingwood started out playing some great footy, and then its just turned into a dour slog since halfway through the first.

It's ridiculous that Geelong are still in this, because they've been flogged.
