I can think of someone who won't mind - our very own Dusty. That's if we ever get to play them again. Not that I wish injury for any player.
We need to get through two other teams first though, people need to remember. Tomorrow night a huge challenge away in front of a hostile crowd, in their humid and dewy conditions, with the Dumps giving them easy frees.
Bloody good question and one that is impossible to answer at the moment. Will be interesting to see their PF opponent, looking at it all the teams on our side of the draw are quick so Collingwood should be challenged in the PF.

In these games the shiitkickers rise to the top.
The Irish bloke for Geelong, seriously book him a one way ticket straight back,
Dahlhouse he is Shiitt
What was Geelong expecting Rohan to do in a final??
Kolajajijijsijisi what a clumsy flk of a footballer
Hawkins unless it’s lace out. He might else well be sitting in the front row eating hot dogs.
Ablett is finished
Collingwood weren’t much better. They only looked better because Geelong don’t defend the spread.
Collingwood players had 3 hours to decide to what to do with it.
Howe or that dipshhiit Maynard we’re allowed to run 40 on every kick out,

Never change Geelol. They lost this match a couple months back. A lot would need to go right for them to win it from here.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up like Adelaide within a couple of years. I don’t think they’re a tight playing group.

If Geelong do go out in straight sets, some tough calls to make on some great players for the club: Taylor, Ablett, Selwood, even Hawkins perhaps.
Thought the wrap up was quite good for us Cats totally exposed, lucky they weren't playing us. Greenwood, a bit of a nemesis for Dusty, is gone. The explosive DeG looks dodgy. And best of all, Coll couldn't score. Yes anything can happen, but we are pretty well placed still.
Yep, if we can all just get past our fear of Collingwood, which trust me I know is hard, there’s little to suggest Collingwood will win this year’s flag.
First and foremost, their forward line is severely flawed without an imposing big man. They need to run and spread it in every time. If you have speed, which we have, you can neutralise them. If you have endurance, which we have, you can cover them. Finally, if our midfield pressures hard, they will find space in midfield on turnover, particularly in the first quarter when Collingwood like to establish scoreboard pressure.
Stephenson, Elliot, De Goey. These are the dangers. The latter may not even play again. Flossy for Stephenson, Grimes on Elliot. Baker, Broad, Astbury, Houli and Short won’t have too many problems and should be able to lend aerial support and link up.
Collingwood’s midfield is dangerous but so is ours. If our pressure game is on and Dusty exploits the lack of hard tag (Greenwood out) then we can match their inside 50s.
I would sit on Sidebottom. Scrag him, get in his face. Graham is the man. Soldo can smother Grundy.
Finally, collingwood’s backline comes down to Moore and Howe. Roughead is a spud who Lynch will exploit. Most importantly, we aren’t Geelong with a slow, inept attack. We routinely score 90+ points a game. We will separate Moore and Howe and make them accountable to their men.
Who will take Nankervis down there? We can seriously threaten Collingwood with something we didn’t have last year - two extra talls.
Collingwood have no small backs worth a damn. Rioli, Castagna and Bolton will have plenty of opportunities. If we play them high and run into space, Moore and Howe won’t get a look at it.
I think we’ll play Collingwood in the grand final. My heart is fearful, but only because of the PF trauma. My head says we can win comfortably.
If we actually look closely at our team, we are much better than last year.
1) Dusty cherry ripe and running amok
2) Bolton adds class
3) baker down back, courage and verve
4) Soldo as primary tap ruck, giving us clearances. Yep, you heard right. Clearances!
5) Nankervis as relief ruck and angry tall forward. What a luxury.
6) Lynch. Lynch. Lynch. Riewoldt plotting all kinds of evil under less scrutiny.
7) Prestia in the form of his life.
8) the trauma of last year will steel our boys like you wouldn’t believe.
We ain’t dropping this cup. It’s ours.

Sydney almost sh#t himself laughing so hard whilst watching that at home on tv
Just watched Scott's full press conference. ....
Eddies godson Tom makingstuffup Browne asked the inevitable KP question re next week
Shut him down with a bit of aggro, said he'd made the club's position clear, needed to take a stance etc etc, basically didn't wanna talk about it anymore ..... may have soiled his trousers, Tommyboy.

Struts around like he’s some sort of bikie enforcer. His haircut has gone to his head.
