What's your preferred grand final matchup?

[VinnieB]

Where did I say that? I'm very interested in any match Brisbane plays. I'll be off to the Grand Final if they make it.

I have little to no interest in Collingwood vs. Carlton. Why would I?

I suppose some people just love the game. Obviously others don’t.

 

[76woodenspooners]

You're still far ahead on the ledger. Worse for Pies fans if they lose I thunk.

Nah, the ledger is now 131 to 129 (4 draws) in Collingwood’s favour

Loving the game is not directly related to how much interest one takes in Carlton and / or Collingwood. I have zero interest in either club. However I'll attend at least one football match every weekend during the season.

GWS/Carlton. Would be very interesting to see two sides for the first time in history play off from bottom half of top 8.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

brissy gws would be a belter

But I’m worried the umps + maybe more goal line ‘accidents’ will not allow either team to get to the GF

The AFL wants Carl coll for sure

5 to 1 where it counts, with a 113 year drought for you.

Preferred - collingwood v Carlton with Carlton up by 2 points with 5 seconds to go and umps give Jamie Elliot a free kick 30 metres directly in front of goal and his shot skims the post and the soft call is goal , and the review shows a snicko brushing the post and it gets called a point . That's my ideal scenario

Most likely - collingwood v Brisbane with pies winning by around 10 points. Would be a pretty good GF .

Least preferred - Brisbane v GWS . Would go and play golf

Really? Despite the small fan base of both, seeing GWS potentially win their first flag is interesting from a neutral perspective.

 

[CrowFan77]

That would never happen. The AFL wants a Collingwood win, so the snicko would have an unexplained fault and it would be Umpire's call.

Going to pop in for a look this year so hoping Carlton Collingwood for the spectacle.

Not just VFL house, the knobjockey's in the Malbun based "national" football media would be utterly flat.

Reality suggests a manufactured outcome though. The League is basically WWE.

Funny thing is, look who's winning the poll: Lions v GWS.

I think there'd be more interest in the game than VicBias crusaders think.

GWS v Bris

wouldn't mind walk up tickets at the ground

Not Collingwood’s fault that Carlton have been rubbish for the past two decades.

Collingwood have fronted up to 5 Grand Finals in that period … where have Carlton been?

 

[Elixuh]

Probably west coast or north

Let me finish this story because I think I can see where you were going with it...

With 2 seconds left on the clock and Carlton in front by 1 point, the Carlton player taking the kick-out thinks they hear the siren sound and throws the ball in the air in celebration. Before the ball lands, the siren actually sounds, and Carlton players sink to their knees in realization of what just happened. Jamie Elliott is awarded a free kick from the top of the goal square and this time makes no mistake, kicking the premiership winning goal after the siren. PizzaPie finishes making love to several beautiful women, logs onto Bigfooty and bumps this post, ?, and profits.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Carlton v the GWS Giants, or the GWS Giants v the Brisbane Lions.

We normally beat the Pies in grand finals, but losing the big one to them would be awful!

 

[Stottzy]

GWS vs Brisbane. They've been the 2 most entertaining teams to watch in the finals and highest scoring. Hopefully can bring that to a GF.

Well if you're going to dream then dream big! Yeah for a Pies fan, that would be all your birthdays and christmases coming together at once!

That's not all that would be coming together at once.

But you've only won one more flag than us since 2002! I'd hardly call that a resounding success mate.

Eight flags since 1958 to your two flags though.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

You two should get a room and stop quoting my posts
If you watched the last game Carlton were reduced to a fumbling mess in the last quarter and should have lost by 10 goals if Melbourne had kicked straight . Some dubious 50m penalties and 6 more free kicks for the game(which is about par for the course for them ), helped get them across the line

I’d rather watch the fast attacking football that Brisbane, GWS and Pies play , than the bomb it on Charlies head and hope for the best type .

Go the Brions and Orange team

How many flags has your team won mate?

 

[76woodenspooners]

Resounding success = I’ve had so much practice singing “Good Ol’ Collingwood forever” over the last 2 decades that I’ve been invited to perform tenor solos with Opera Companies all around the world.

Could imagine many of your mob needed to google the words to your song this year? “Blah Blah Blah Never-let-you-down Blah Blah Blah …”

Mate our song is by far the best one in the competition.

As for the opera singing, i really do think my ears could do without hearing your finest Luciano Pavarotti impression!

Brisbane vs GWS with BT trying not to cry while calling the game.

That would make for a great drinking game.
Pick a team and every time BT gets a player’s name wrong from your chosen team, you drink.
No one drives home that night.
