Still struggling to see who beats GWS if they're relatively injury-free heading in to finals.
Based on the results of the last few weeks, at this point, I'm not sure who would beat anybody. There are no clear standouts emerging as of yet who I'd think likely to win a flag. The sides that were performing well earlier in the season have all seemingly become quite average over the last month or so.

Didn't do it once against us. Not once.
It seriously irrits me this crap by the Pies. They truly play a unique style of footy against us, because they apply few tackles, show limited skill, make mistakes, kick like drunkards and fail to run and spread when confronted with just about any other outfit in the AFL. But oh no, put hooped guernseys up against them and suddenly they se to have flashbacks to 2010 and do everything that a good side should. We as Geelong supporters, maybe aside from the 96-point win in rd 23 2011, have never seen these ordinary Pies. Frustration...

Yeah I don't understand it. Every year this happens I am just left scratching my head. I truly don't understand how we lost to them this year - they are absolutely terrible and yet looked a million bucks that day. T
Although to be fair it's not just against us - they play well against gws and Sydney as well. Just strange.

Bucks plans well for us. He plans to get anhiliated by Hawthorn. Every time.
Can see around 3 Hawks players guarding the corridor when Collingwood bring it out of defence which forces the Pies to kick side to side. We normally have no one in the middle as we try to get the Pies to kick it down the line and it never works.

And soon as you force them to go sideways and slow up the absolute bog ordinary standard of their team shows itself.
