Hopefully it is warmer than tonight.

Haha. Shrinkage is always an issue.

Was that a 12th man quote?
Reid at cricket and Lockwood at Footy both real sporting tragedies.

More a vague recollection but yes, 12th man.

We beat this year's premiers! -w00t-

 

[Rovert]

Once again we fall just short in the better of the two prelim’s and would have had a better than even chance of beating the other team. Makes last night an even harder pill to swallow.

 

[jdeezy]

Yuck. 2020 keeps on sucking

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Dixon cant run to a lead.
He constantly runs under the ball.

Notice how geelong players dont kick over Hawkins head? Dont think its Dixon mate.

Might mow my neighbours lawns next week

I will exercise my right to go outside and do anything i feel like doing because i'm not being held prisoner by a crypto-fascist Premier.

Does any other sport have a pre finals bye like this shitty comp does?

 

[Snake_Baker]

It's the most corrupt sport in the world.

Uneven fixture due to having too many Melbourne teams.

Dodgy fixturing to maximize revenue that always advantages Melbourne clubs

Horrendous chopping and changing of rules

Dodgy officiating and collusion with the AFL to achieve a desired outcome.

It's fair to say this sport is cooked.

This is not even slightly an exaggeration.

It's rigged for advertising dollars. They have been smashed by the pandemic and they have rigged it for best outcome.

The biggest ratings draw vs the DANGERFLAG!

The w@nkage this week will go to new levels, and I can state quite honestly that I have never seen two worse performed sides make it to the grand final.

All. Time. Low.

Na, Geelong are way better than Brisbane, they smashed them in the regular season on a neutral ground and have now done the same on Brisbane's own ground.

For some reason people just want to refuse to see how good Geelong are, but they are very good. During the H&A season they clearly looked like the best team for a large portion of the year. We were extremely lucky they didn't kick straight against us and that we pinched the win in the QF, because they smashed us first time around and if we faced them next week I'm 100% certain we would not have won in QLD.

We've finished where we should have based on ability 3/4, and so will they by finishing 1/2.

Never said they are not any good, Just do not like them: Game plan is nothing exciting, but they work hard.

No doubt it worked against us and probably the Lions in the Prelim finals. It was as though the extra week we didn't play had us forgetting what our winning game style looked like.

 

[Rovert]

Not HTB, apparently.

That’s ‘cause it’s not Port.

 

[backtozero]

We might have been better off losing the Qualifying Final. What a joke.

 

[Smartys Power]

Will watch the game but boy, I don’t remember the last time I was so underwhelmed for a GF.

 

[nadsee]

It could be worse for us. We could have blown an Adelaide Oval grand final. Small blessings

EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. small blessing.

 

[Harro59]

And Just like that the * is removed and it's now a real season.

They're very rare around these parts, so quite valuable.

Probably some **** gobbler rich campaigner sport like polo so the rich campaigners get an extra week to go on a coke binge and shoot some endangered rhinos before the big tussle straddling a horse holding a big mallet dressed in pink MC Hammer pants and a silk shirt

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

AFL football = joke

Been saying it for nearly 20 years but boundary umpires should be allowed to pay free kicks for throws and head high tackles. They see what the crowd can see and central umpires can't and its why people lose respect for umpires.

No interpretation skills needed to tell if there has been a throw or head high tackle.
