Yeah I wouldn't knock it back mate.
Think you'll struggle against Brisbane though
I guess we'll see.
They've been saying that for the last 12 weeks or so and here we are.
This is after round 15 which is even more impressive.

A GWS v Bears GF would be wonderfully delicious and a victory for non Vic AFL.
especially delivered via knocking out two of the biggest Vic clubs in prelims, both of which have been starved of silverware in recent times.
God it would be wonderful

Yep, in terms of ladder position that deep into a season
In my one the reasoning was that they were little further adrift of the 8 in points and hadn’t started to make their run, plus the age-old (recently outdated) adage of the 8 mostly being settled by midseason
Think if that comes to pass the Giants win a Granny ...Brisbane don't just struggle against good sides at the G they struggle against most sides at the G

It's honestly a more appealing prospect than Geelong vs Sydney from last year

I think they would have to consider it. The data would be pretty hard to ignore.

What’s most impressive about those ladders is that Collingwood were top in Rd 12, Rd 15 and the end of Rd 24.
Best side in it.

Yes, but Carlton to give them credit have arsed themselves to Premierships in 1970 and 1972. Perhaps it is true that fortune favours the brave, not the best, just the brave.
Have to feel for the Dees, they had zero luck in the finals, particularly with the injury curse. Had Petty and Melksham not been injured they would definitely be favourites in a Prelim.
But if Brisbane don't romp the GF in from here I will be stunned and shocked. The so called MCG curse is rubbish. They were 5 goals up on a very good Melbourne team a few months back. They let it slip from there, but that will not happen again.
They will probably face GWS going into their 4th final. Therefore a second half blow out will be on the cards as all the pressure games mount up on them.
Should there be a play off for 3rd between Carlton and Collingwood to settle the BF dispute of who finishes higher? Just kidding
Collingwood Vs Brisbane mcg??? Will be biggest choke since geelong in 08 if you lose that.
What is brisbanes mcg record the past 5 seasons?

We won’t, but will it? Most here are saying it’s Brisbane’s year. They are a team in form.
But it seems clear you’re hurting.

Since then, we've beaten 7 of the teams above us (GC and Dees twice) and only lost to GWS in a dead rubber.
The other 6 teams we haven't faced since the streak began.
nobody is beating brisbane in brisbane... until they do
We were in the 8 all year mate.

Much to my annoyance, credit to Carlton in that they have been resiliant and just finding a way to get it done which is what good teams do. Brisbane may be a step too far this year though.
GWS look fit enough to manage the 6 day break and I cannot wait for this game the way these two teams play football. Likable coaches with great game plans, will be a pressurised, speed ripper.
Coll v Brisbane the likely result, but Id prefer a GWS v Carlton (with an orange win)
