How stupid did that collar look

Would have become iconic had we won it

Or perhaps not

"KPOP Demon Hunters", huh ... ?

Lemme guess; that'd be a mixed-gender group of Korean pop stars who break into song before and/or after they hunt and kill Demons who threaten the world ...?
I'm an old fart, kind of a traditionalist in many ways, but you seem to be a reasonable and thoughtful bloke.

Does their fascination with KPOPDH build strong young minds or is it a peer pressure thing?

No.

 

[Slippery Pete]

One of the greatest games I’ve attended….f***ing bonkers!

 

[WetCrow1991]

Is it going to rain and if so does that help or hinder?

It isn't and it helps.

 

[crows dude]

No rain. Its beautiful

In my experience the huge majority of K-Drama K-pop K-culture project good life lessons and decent morals. Very wholesome, and I would encourage my kids/grandkids to embrace them.

 

[footy4ever]

David Rodan lost his spot because of the Keane behind/goal/score review at our game?

Should have. That was appalling.

 

[CrowBloke]

[PATH ONE] Win QF / 0.7 x 0.5 = 0.35 or 35%

[PATH TWO] Lose QF / 0.7 x 0.3 x 0.5 = 0.11 or 11%.

I'm a Maths nerd. Something about the above troubled me and it's taken me about a day to figure out why.

Your numbers are right-ish.
Path One means we go top.
Path 2 means we go top.
BUT you have to factor in the first step ie say winning/losing tonight is a 50/50 proposition, so your calculations are a half of the above ie 17.5% or 5.5%.

It's an either-or scenario.

Either path means we go top.
Either we do one or the other to go top ie both paths mean that, before tonight's game anyway, we have a purely hypothetical/statistical 17.5% + 5.5% chance of winning the Flag = 23%. (Option1 OR Option2 means we add the probabilities)

Still, winning tonight is the better way to go.
GreyCrow ...?

If you keep winning you dont ever lose

 

[CrowBloke]

No.

I was being light-hearted with davos44 , not critical.

I know nothing about KPOP DH, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or even Spongebob Squarepants (whose premise --- a dishwashing sponge who lives with sea critters??? --- bewilders me) for that matter.

I'm old; I was raised on Looney Tunes cartoons, The Bugs Bunny Show and The Three Stooges, the latter of which I wouldn't want my kids to watch tbh.

There aren't too many creatures who live in a pineapple under the sea.

Next to Ringo's Octopus and his Garden...?

TMNT was like, the early 90s. It's 35 years old now.

 

[jenny61_99]

Apparently Ben Keays has never kicked a goal against Collingwood??? That's a crazy stat!

Yep. I had all the toys in the late 80's early 90's

It's pretty good, actually.

Haha, no way known those cartoons would fly today.

I took it all light heartedly, don't worry.

We might all have to watch some of those WB Cartoons to relax a bit before the game, getting close now!

 

[davos44]

It's pretty good, actually.

Crowbloke will be singing "Golden" in no time if let loose.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Don't think we have lost in the wet this season... but weather has fined up.

 

[Cromulant]

Collingwood away ??

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Collingwood away ??

Hmmm, was it wet?

Ok, don't believe we have lost a wet game at home.

Was warm when we lost gather round to Cats.

 

[beartoo]

We look like we're being monstered out there. Grow a backbone quickly Crows.

 

[n4sir]

My honest opinion

My bottom 4 in no particular order are Mollison, Fleer, Deboy, Nicholls (Though, he has seemed to have improved the last few years).

I can tolerate Stevic as he's just Chamberlain without the flamboyancy. But I rate both.

But you can go through the rest of the list and I'd have no problem with them. It's overall quite good. I just find the average fan is ignorant.

Want to reconsider that after tonight?

Meridith is an absolute ****t@rd, who ****ed us in the 2017 GF until the game was lost (along with Ryan and Stevic). He hasn't improved one bit from that bottom of the barrel performance.

I grant you that Fleer is even worse. Hands down, he's the absolute worst umpire in the AFL, bar none.

I said before I would have Nicholls as a member of the umpiring four horseman of the Apocalypse to confront us in finals, along with Williamson (plus obviously Fleer and Meredith). You could toss a coin as to whether Mollinson, Stevic, Heffernan, or Sportsbet employee of the month Foot could come in and be any worse - they are all absolutely shithouse, and all of them are out there to **** us.

It's a sad state of affairs when you can name the few good genuinely unbiased umpires in the AFL (Gianfagna, Rosebury, Meyer) and how rarely we sight any of them in our home games. The dice is well and truly stacked against us... this isn't an inferiority complex, it's sadly just reality.

 

[JPetro83]

I am expecting a usual $hit the bed performance. I would be shocked if we pull it off tomorrow night. Collingwood are the masters of games/situations like this. all above the shoulders tomorrow night. We got out of jail 2 weeks weeks ago. since the showdown we have been poor in key areas. couldn't handle West Coast or North Melb. a dry night two weeks ago against the pies and i think we lose that. I am actually not looking forward to it. would have been great to have been playing the Suns....

As expected,. we really are a PATHETIC footy club.
