Submitted by PattyT on Sun, 2011-09-04 17:12
So the other thread is getting too big to navigate through so here is one for the finals...
This is how i see it going down,
Geelong to beat Hawks, Coll to beat West, Saints to beat Swans, Ess to beat Carlton
West to beat Ess, Hawks to beat Saints
Geelong to beat West, Hawks to beat Coll
Geelong to beat Hawks in the granny, it will be a cracker though!!
Joel Selwood to win the norm smith...
Lets see how my predictions go this time!!

Yeah I've learnt the hard way not to surf the net while watching AFL.
All credit to Hawthorn, they outplayed us for three quarters. Proud to see the boys find a way in the fourth. Cloke really stood up in the last.
Be a few changes for next week I reckon, money bags and fasolo in for mind.

Congradulations Collingwood Yee Ha
The way Cloke played that last quarter was something else. Only 24 how good is he. Gotta be one of the best games you will ever see...... Class act by both teams.

Such a cracking match! Pies
Such a cracking match! Pies just got over the line, as good teams always do.. Hearing reports that jolly might not be able to play next week, that will be a massive loss.

Was a good game to watch but
Was a good game to watch but the Hawks probably should have won that really. Missed some easy set shots which could have seen them over the line. The umps didn't help the Hawks in the last either. Holding the ball on the poo? and then high tackle not called on Hodge??? But they should have sewn it up before that anyways. And Cloke was the difference I think and probably Swan as well. Credit where it's due though - the pies did do well to get back in it and take the win.
On the umps, I thought it was pretty average again last night for both teams though. They should let the players know before the game whether they are going to umpire it like a final or a normal game. It has been so inconsistent these finals so far???
Matty, sorry the game got spoilt for ya and real sorry ya Hawks couldn't get over the line too. That really sucks. I didn't come on here until after the game for that reason. It's an absolute disgrace that 7 didn't show it live. Unfortunately I'm going to have to sign up to Fox next year so I don't have to put up with delayed crap from 7. Think it will be worth it though. Might even get to watch it in peace when the mrs finds out and files for divorce!
Come on Eagles!!!
I fish for the future - Cause I can't bloody catch anything!

Great game
awesome game of footy even though Collingwood won. Choke and Swan were farkn awesome. No Jolly next week could spell trouble for them- as they will be up against Ottens in very good form, or Nic Nat and Big Cox. Hope todays game is just as good.

Gotta love Finals footy scottland.
I'm hoping to watch the Cats and WCE beat the living suitcase out of each other. No real preference on my end, gotta beat everyone to win the flag.

That was a shocking game.
That was a shocking game. Eagles played shite. Geelong deserved to flog them today. Way too many slackers today. Guys not willing to run off their men to help a team mate etc. Nic Nat was good, so was Waters and maybe a couple of others but there were just too many others not contributing.
I hope Johnson gets up for next week. I just hope it's a good, close game and Geelong win or Pies lose!!! Either way will do!

Cred
Good onya wazzbat, at least you had the stones to post on here, few ostriches around unfortunately. I imagine they will be back like a flash to dance on the pies grave if we lose next week.
Huge year for the eagles, but they run out of puff today. Disappointing to roll over in a prelim, no doubt.
Hard work will come next year when they've got to butter up and try and get into the top four again.
One little punch I will throw though, Embley is the ultimate down hill skier (how he ever won a norm smith is a miracle).

Didn't want to say it in fear
Didn't want to say it in fear of being shitbagged about bashing my own team but I couldn't agree more about Embley. Everyone hates at least one of their teams' players right?
When the Eagles play well, Embley plays well. Not - When Embley plays well, the Eagles play well. He is the biggest seagull at the Eagles for sure. Could you imagine how shite he would be at the Suns or GWS or Port etc? He won a Norm Smith because all the guns in the side gave him the ball that day. He is also a selfish player. Going for long running goals all the time when he could've passed it.
The other one I'd get rid of is Masten. I reckon they're only keeping him because he was such a high pick. Trying to justify drafting him. He tries hard but it doesn't make up for his lack of skill and that gay hairdo. He runs around like a chook with his head cut off?
Still not sure about Ebert either? I'd pick him over Masten though.
I'd wish you luck in the GF but I (like every other AFL follower who doesn't support the pies) don't want them to win! Go Geelong!

One thing you gotta realise
One thing you gotta realise though playing two neck neck finals is going to empty the tanks. They were tired and sore. even young blokes like that need more than a week to recover. Oustanding season. They'll only get better as long as the hunger for success remains.

Much better year for the club
after last year you would be very happy with the improvment wazzbat . The game against the Pies was lost imo becuse they continually bombed it in of the good work from the on ballers with your forwards letting you down. No crumbers of note [ like a Balingtine] didnt help because of this Harry Leroy and Leon had a day out. The week of if they picked up this winable game up could have made some differance.

Coxless
IMO Cox was injured before the game even started and shouldn't have been picked. He did bugger all and that slowed Nic Nat down with the amount of extra work he had to do.

unfortunately for me the eagles are out and the worst thing is i can not honestly say they went out fighting. but none the less very happy with the season. good luck to the fagpies and the cats this week. not sure who to follow, would like to see Mick go out with a flag but at the same time dont want collingwood to win especially Maxwell that overrated soft C**&. So cats for me by 27.
Lets just hope for a ripper of a game like the first 1 last year.

Last words from me for a
Last words from me for a week. Go the Cats. Cats by 34 points. Jolly to pull up early and be subbed out. Pods to bag 5. Selwood for Norm Smith. What else??? Ummmm... Krakouer to have a shocker. Cloke to have a shocker. Thomas won't do much either. Mitch Duncan close up second in the Norm Smith along with Pendlebury. Not sure if I need to bother watching the game? I already know what's going to happen. Ha ha.

I've been thinking Geelong all week but I'm starting to lean towards the pies for some reason, hopefully the catters get up though. Should be an absolute cracker of a match, shame about the shitty weather though.. bloody melbourne.
If the cats win Selwood of Jimmy "just add water" Bartel for norm smith
Pendleberry or ball for the pies..

What a great spectacle that was! For 3 quarters that was some the best grand final action iv ever seen. Congrats to the cats, they are now one of the great teams of the modern era and deserve to be up there.
In regards to the pies, you would say that is one that got away. They still have a great few years in front of them and it wouldnt suprise me if get 3 in 5 years just like the catters. I think having bucks step in will help them, look what thompson stepping out did for the cats.
