In the Age Kane Cornes tipped us to win by 41 points.Should we be concerned about this?

Only the fact that dehydrated lettuce head has a newpaper gig

Heater can get stuffed.

Hey, show some respect to the Preimership librarian. He won us the flag, at approximately the 19 min. mark of the first quarter,of the 2010 GF replay. Laugh it off.

 

[Mick F]

Of course, but I'm talking about taking advantage of the opportunity we haven't had for decades, to win the whole box and dice.

Throughout those decades we've had perpetual false dawns, if we can't win it from our position then we'll never be able to.

We have average rucks and forwards. Hopefully the latter can convert their chances over the next 9 days.

We've done a bloody good job to be on top all year with so many average players. Don't know what it says about the other 17 clubs.

 

[stormskye]

average forward line, Highest %.

Huh. Can’t be to bad.

 

[Vic Park]

Still have to make it

And still have to get through without injuries

This will be a tough game

Do not take them lightly

Respect everyone fear no-one. Did Maynard actually say this?

 

[Exambolor]

Is that the earliest we’ve gone with the Chant?

 

[Pistol Night]

average forward line, Highest %.

Huh. Can’t be to bad.

Billy and Checkers were both in AA discussions during the year. Bobby is an A grade small forward now

 

[Kirby]

No, I agree with him.

This will make neilk very nervous!

 

[NMBB]

It's actually grinded my gears all week. Every Pies v Giants preview has turned into a GWS wankfest talking up every one of their players as if they're part of some sort of dynasty. Just heard Heath Shaw say that we have 'noone' in our midfield. Um campaigner, ever heard of De Goey, Mitchell, Pendles, Daics x 2, Crisp etc.

The complete lack of disrespect for our lads this week has been laughable.

Agree but I think it suits our preparation and mindset going into the game

Surely he's taking the P155......

It’s quite amusing tbh. We don’t have any A graders perhaps. But our forward line is extremely balanced. We don’t rely on one player (greene, curnow, larkey) to win us games. Much better IMO.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Is that the earliest we’ve gone with the Chant?

2010, we went with the chant the day before the game when Nick Riewoldt was drowned out at the parade.

The man that umpired our qualifying and prelims last year is back

Rosebury ffs

It was an average year last year also, til Geelong ‘turned up’ on Grand Final day.

Elliott and De Goey are fine footballers. Mihocek, McStay and Hill handy. McCreery a goer. They all commit to the team plan and their team mates - thus far it has carried them a long way in, 18 months. Possibly it will deliver them the ultimate prize. Credit to the playing group and coaching staff if it does.

I think of Crispy lines up at HF again then he's the man for the Whitfield role. Absolutely burn him going back toward goal.

I never understand Crisp at half forward. He should always be running from the back of the pack.

Rosebury ffs

we’ll need to get the jump on him before he gets on top

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Absolutely no sleep tonight hahaha

Me too, l won't be sleeping or it will be a very restless sleep. Then into the gym at 9am to use up that nervous energy. Thank god l'm on leave tomorrow and Monday!!!.....

Will have to watch the Qualifying final replay tonight....

 

[Pistol Night]

The noise of affirmation with 85,000 Pies fans opposed to the 24 GWS fans will even it out

 

[cfc19902010]

Lol
He was worth 3-4 against Geelong

Lets not worry about the umpires. They will not be the difference.

Up forward our talls are workhorses and our flankers all have a weapon that they hurt defences with - more than one weapon in Elliott's case.

Those who suggest our list isn't as good as the other teams don't get inside outside footy. Our inside structure isn't as good as the likes of Carlton and Melbourne, but our flankers are miles above theirs. Our flankers are comfortably the league best - Brissy may argue with that last sentence because their forward flankers are so good, but wings and defence we have them covered.

Hope your right

Id love the luxury of being able to throw DeGoey forward for patches but i think well need our full engine room up and running. Things happen when hes there
