Eagles and Tigers are the two best teams in the competition and its a great result that one of them wont make the Grand Final.
Doesnt really matter who we play in the prelim.

That does sound like the numbers that would be attending from AFL House.If we play the giants then will have 94,000 Collingwood fans to 200 gws fans
Not sure that’s really correct.Eagles and Tigers are the two best teams in the competition and its a great result that one of them wont make the Grand Final.

I’d think top 6 all have claims when going at their better play.
Pretty much Brisbane a level below as learning about this level. GWS can be hit miss a bit.
Overall it’s just so even.
Richmond are going particularly well but can be vulnerable. Stop Dusty stop Richmond. If we meet them I can see a Maynard stepping up as his minder.
Yes I think you’ve summed it up well.Of course its just my opinion but I see Richmond and West Coast as our most dangerous opponents. Its good we dont have to play both of them in the finals.
As for the prelim I see pros and cons between GWS and Brisbane but at the end of the day cant split them and believe we should comfortably beat either.
Exactly Brisbane v Richmond in round 23 would of had 15,000 ex Fitzroy fans. Preliminary final they would be 20,000 to Collingwood 75,000!

No preference either.
You have to beat what’s in front of you to go all the way so it is what it is.
Giants. Lions finished three games above them for a reason. Plus they have to travel two weeks back to back, not that its a big deal but its a minor factor.
Geelong would do better to request most of their home games be at the MCG. Then they will line more accustomed to the MCG. It’s true they have a huge advantage at GMHBA with the usual shape of the ground.I have been saying for a month or more that they are the worst team in the top five. Would be interesting to see their percentage at the Cattery vs elesewhere. And who they played twice this year.
Imagine this.Not sure that’s really correct.

Yes their draw was worth 3 or 4 wins for them.Yes - their draw. Richmond exposed them, although the Lions were competitive in general play in the first half.
Both of them move the ball quickly enough to give us fits if we try to pull any slow play conservative crap out on the ground in a couple of weeks time.
They'll both fold like a cheap suitcase if we can apply early scoreboard pressure in the first half, build a lead and then maintain the buffer from there (by still scoring at a regular clip, as opposed to going 100% conservative / defensive for the last quarter).
Greene has been referred straight to the tribunal for an incident with Bont. I didn’t see the first quarter so is he likely to be suspended?
Brisbane and their kicking, that was some strange stuff.Imagine this.
Last weekend Rich defeated Geelong by 10 pts in the first Qualifying final at the MCG.
And then Collingwood defeated Lions by 47 pts in the 2nd Qualifying final at the GABBA.
I don’t think we’d think we were unstoppable. I think Richmond look better than the are because Brisbane played poorly and ignored some of the match ups you spoke of.
Wouldn't think it would be a suspension. Doesn't look like he landed on Bont's eye. Probs a week at most.
Their kicking was a heartbreaker. Even with the run on Richmond had, the Lions May have only been a goal or so down at 3 quarter time.Brisbane and their kicking, that was some strange stuff.
I’m of the strong view, all can beat all, have to bring our good game and take our opportunities.
That simple.
Yeah, that reason is a soft draw and no injuries.Giants. Lions finished three games above them for a reason. Plus they have to travel two weeks back to back, not that its a big deal but its a minor factor.
