Lenny Hayes is our only chance of stopping the scum.

See if the Dogs somehow manage to beat St Kilda tonight, I don't know why they'd be in a worse position to win the Grand Final than the Saints.

Saggers on suicide watch atm.

Don't want the Pies to win the comp either, though.

I have no logical or sensible answer for that. Just a feeling that the Dogs could get up again and shock everyone, but to do it 3 weeks running is a tough ask.

The one good thing about Collingwood is they really unite the whole football community when they make the GF.

Anyone but those bastards.

Haha its so true

Don't know whether you caught the Qualifying Final, but it wasn't pretty for you guys and that would be influencing people. I do agree with you in general though - it will make little practical difference to Collingwood being hot favourites whether St Kilda or Bullies win tonight.

I'll predict a Saints win tonight, and a Pies win the following week: 16.15 to 7.10

Good to see the feigned confidence. But if anyone knows how to lose Grand Finals it's Collingwood. The league experts at it you could say, and they'll be showing everyone how it's done in one week. Interesting to note that the last and only flag St Kilda won they beat, yes you guessed it, Collingwood.

Imo the Saints are a better chance to beat the Pies than the Cats would have been (after watching last night anyway) because they'll be more tactical in the way they tackle the game. They won't be as arrogant in their game style (albeit it worked for the Cats for three years), and it will be a titanic struggle.

SirBloody Idiot · 18-09-2010, 03:35 AM

Honestly would not think we have 18 guys on the field.

Matt79 · 18-09-2010, 03:38 AM

^^ Nah, unlike the Cats, they can't hurt good teams on the scoreboard, unless Milne kicks a bag (which won't happen with O'Brien on him). Too slow, too unconvincing going forward. Tailor made for our style.

Jono · 18-09-2010, 03:40 AM

That's a myth considering how they've beaten the Cats (a good side) three times in their last four matches tbh. And that one they lost was in reality by just a kick.

pasag · 18-09-2010, 04:04 AM

Good wet weather umpiring so far. Doggies looking like a bit of a rabble so far.

Mr Casson · 18-09-2010, 04:13 AM

If Riewoldt wants to win a premiership, be remembered as a great CHF etc, he really needs to sort out his set shot kicking. Absolutely nowhere near good enough for an elite forward.

El Nino · 18-09-2010, 04:23 AM

Cmonnn Doggies!

SirBloody Idiot · 18-09-2010, 04:26 AM

Those late misses hurt so bad. If one of Murph or Picken jagged one...
