2023 Grand Final - Pies v Lions ... Australia Mourns!

I won't be watching the game as I can't stand both teams and can't stomach the thought of either winning. Think I'll spend Saturday listening to Green Day "Wake me up when September ends"

Hope for Chris Fagan Brisbane win.

One of the great men of football, who's influence turning the culture of Brisbane from a basket case where everyone left to a destination club is underrated.

Plus, it would be sweet for Collingwood to lose another GF.

Have a look at the pie’s last couple of months.

Port close win
Carlton loss
Hawthorn loss
Geelong close win
Brisbane loss
Essendon big win

In the finals they were arguably lucky to win both

The habit of just winning close games is 2022 Collingwood, to me they haven’t been in the 2023 Collingwood form for quite a while. They are vulnerable.

If Brisbane turn up and play to their potential they win, they are the more talented team especially in the front half.

If they get intimidated by the occasion, go into their shells and it turns into a scrap then Collingwood win those games. They are mentally strong and very well coached and that’s the danger for Brisbane who can be flaky.

Somewhat similar here. MT.
However i don't mind the Lions, and hope they win but it is unlikely.
Living in Victoria I am sick to death of the non stop coverage of the highly disliked Collngwood.
Front, back, centre and everything in between is bloody Collingwood in the papers here.
Would appear the Brisbane does not even exist. Over the top as my wife said.

I don't mind the lions, certainly compared to Collingwood

I know there is a lot of joking about Fagan but how that club has been turned around in his time from a basket case that players were leaving to where they are now is very impressive. Not only have the drafted well but they have attracted Neale, Cameron, Dunkley and Daniher who have all been very good additions to their team and are very key players for them. They have also been successful with money ball trades like Ah Chee, McCarthy and Lyons

Prefer the Lions. Back in their dynasty, I watched the game at a mates place, and his family were Collingwood, so I thought I’d follow the Pies. I didn’t even get to the end of the first quarter before I was ‘Go Brizzy!’

Good for you CTT. Well done
After all, the Lions are jungle dwellers just like Tigers.
 
Reckon with Black,Akermanis,Voss,Michael,Keating and Lynch Brisbane will prevail.......................................

I seriously CGAF about this game. Haven't really been interested in non Richmond games all year. Interest in Richmond games also waning as we played *smile* footy. Is it just me or is the evolution of the game got to a point that it has become uninteresting?
