The Finals Series

[King Harold]

Apparently the world ends tomorrow anyway.

Good that means we don't trade Stringer.

I love seeing Geelong getting knocked out in finals SO much. Its so satisfying.

To be fair, the Cats went into this game without their spearhead Hawkins and Selwood on one leg.

If Hawkins had played and Selwood was fit, it would have been closer.

Could have sworn I saw Hawkins playing. Also McGovern and Smith are big outs for the Crows.

Does both qualifying finals winners winning in prelim mean our flag wasn't a fluke anymore?

Only the good teams can win it from seventh. World sporting
results from 2016 did throw up some underdog victors though,
but to label any premiership a fluke is a little penile.

 

[Dog 36]

Did anyone hear any commentators and so call experts men tying the end of season bye?

Most likely not I would say

 

[philmb]

Geez...All this talk on the GWS fb page about the brilliance of making two prelims in a row makes me think our own prelim record was f@&king spectacular!!

 

[philmb]

Tonight, I troll. Up yours GWS!

 

[philmb]

Are these bots on the GWS fb page? I mean, are they real people? Like, honestly?

To the inevitable comparisons between us and Richmond lets put into perspective.
We won the same number of games, we finished 7th, Tigers finished 3rd.
We played our first final in WA, Richmond played at the G
We played an experienced Hawthorn at the G, Richmond had the week off
We both played GWS in week 3, we played them away.

Lets wait for the GF result before we analyse the Richmond success.

Strangely the football media are very quiet regarding the influence of the bye this year.

 

[lachy]

Simply put
Pre finals bye no issue for genuinely good top 4 teams
Our effort in winning 4 finals one of the greatest on history including 2 interstate
We are allowed.1 year to stuff up, 2018 year of the dogs

 

[Royale]

Im happy for Richmond. Not sure why we need to compare it to our journey.

We, meaning the media , have nfi and will generally just parrot each other. The standard of football media is declining every year. Recruiting f******s like Dalsanto, Cooney etc diminishes the standards.

Excuse the intrusion guys...
Just wanted to say a big thank you to your supporters that popped over to the Tiger Forum and gave their best wishes for our win yesterday against the plastics!
Much appreciated...
All the best...

Two best teams are in the GF.
Average margin in the finals, even with the draw, has been over 50 points, but in the end, just like in 2016, both grand finalists deserve to be there.

This thread has a disappointing number of our fans who actively supported the plastics last night.
You all need to take a good hard look at yourselves.

A normal clubs board would have fans melting everywhere after a second consecutive prelim choke.

But not the plastics.

Absolute graveyard.

Underlines that GWS is supported by a certain 'type'.

Front running, non footy, dispassionate, theatre going campaigners.

I was reading both the GWS and Richmond boards last night. The fact that posts on the plastic board were half an hour apart says it all.

Disproportionate amount of GWS 'fans' only post if they win. Pretty pathetic group on the whole.

 

[Sharkey66]

Started the game hoping GWS would win mainly cos of some flog tigers supporters I work with, but 5min into the game reminded me why I dislike the giants so much. Not any one incident or anything but just everything about them, found myself barracking for the Tigers. They may be unbearable later but good on them now.

I'm looking at myself and am quite happy with what I see, except for the weight and aging.

Not that there's anything wrong with a bit of theatre ...
