Early Openers- Prelim Finals

Guys guys guys, I’m an absolute nervous wreck at the moment, if Carlton win tomorrow night it’ll be my worst nightmare. Are you *smile* serious???!!! A Collingwood Carlton grand final, there isnt enough alcohol on this planet that could numb the pain if that happens.

Vic Police are forecasting next Saturday, 2 to 5pm, to break the record for lowest crime in Melbourne for the last couple of decades if Carlton make the Final.

I actually reckon the best team of 2023 (or at least from the bye onwards) is now not in the grand final.

The giants were clearly better than the pies for most of that game last night - and if they had been a little fresher, they would have beaten the pies. The fact the pies just held on by the slimest of margins despite the home ground, home crowd, the umps and the 2 week break compared to a 6 day break on the back of two away finals says it all.

Their pace, skill, structure and the way they hunted in packs was far superior to a lot of what the pies dished up. What killed them was it took them too long to settle into the game and a few costly misses in that period.

Their 2 finals wins were dominant, whereas I reckon the pies were lucky (if you can be lucky in finals) to win either of their 2 finals.

Pity - the best team often doesn’t win it in the end.

No extremely hard to win it from bottom of the 8. Only have themselves to blame for their poor first half of the year.

Where you surprised TF?

Nup.

PF you would have to a ‘thug’ act to get suspended.

During the season he may have got a fine.

First quarter Giants free kick & play on, pee whistler blows a 50 yard penalty by this time ball is in Keefe's hands in the goal square with no Pie within cooee of him. Ball returned fifty yard penalty spot point result. Think Giants hard done by.
Can an advantage be taken on a 50?
 
Looks from the first minute that the umps want a Scum v Scum GF. How do you miss that hold from Cotterill on McKenna. Theres 4 of the freaking maggots!!
