[BLUEALLTHRU]

GWS and MELB

Eddie's face blowing up...he he.........he...he, Buckley's curse remains strong! Hawks well they've had a good run so time to let the Buller Ski Instructors have something to cheer about.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Dees and Giants

Same for me.

16 years is a long time for 3 clubs to be sitting near the top of the perch as consistently as that especially in Sydney's case in a 16 and now 18 team competition.

[Thrawn]

I want Collingwood to win and reach the GF so they can choke in it and be the Colliwobbles again.

 

[Gethelred]

I want Collingwood to win and reach the GF so they can choke in it and be the Colliwobbles again.

Only way that happens is if they get over Richmond, and I can't see that happening.

It'd be absolutely bloody fantastic, though.

 

[Dadda Dave]

By 1 point with collnwood up by 5 with 20 seconds remaining then a dubious free kick 30 out gives the opposition a thrilling and well deserved victory ..
Eddie will explode..

sort of don't get this tiges unbeatable thingy..............

 

[Gethelred]

Not unbeatable, so much as I can't see Collingwood - soft, and rather needing Cox to bring the ball to ground - and West Coast - softer than a marshmellow outside their home state - beating them at home. The closest they should come to losing is in the prelim, if Collingwood gets over them, and I can't see that s**t.

 

[AceAndy]

They are hard to beat in Melbourne and no-one has this year. I can understand why people are referring to them as unbeatable.

Geelong in 2008 were apparently unbeatable...
