Im tipping Cats more for the reason that I don't want collingwood to be premiers again than actually thinking they will win.
-
Cats for me quite easily as well.
Plus as I don't support The Skunks and therefore I automatically will go for The Cats.
Anyone but the Pies.
-
Pies by a couple of goals for mine
-
I hope Geelong wins :pray.
-
Cats by 43,44 or 45 :thumbsup
-
Just have a great weekend, unless you're a collingwood supporter ;D
-
;D
...and the Norm Smith medal to Jimmy Bartel.
-
Some irony that after years of participating club members missing out on GF tickets due to the AFL favouring the corporate dollar instead that this year on-sellers are struggling to sell corporate packages.

Pies by 13
I like the cats as winners, but so does everyone else and thats when I have my doubts
I also dont agree with the cats being favourites with bookies and would put my money on the pies
Something strange about the best team not being backed after a tight two game form slump
They will be packing everything tomorrow to win
If collingwood loses however I will be very very happy ;D
Go Cats... (feel dirty now)
-
Should be 1.85 each y - Hoping the Cats show up, really should be a ripper!
Looks like the Tigers winter jacket will be on tomorrow!, Allways show my colours :-*
-
Cats 27 pts
First goal Mackie
-
;D
...and the Norm Smith medal to Jimmy Bartel.
And dis 1
-
Collingwood are as far as $2.14
I think they are some tasty odds
-
No change either team so Stevie Johnson is playing. Cats sub is Duncan. Pies sub is Fasolo.
-
Speaking of tasty, beer number 4 just slid down a treat
-
Biggest loser = Meatloaf :help
-
Biggest loser = Meatloaf :help
Playing up to the crowd went down well :nope. The MCC members are obviously big Meatloaf fans :nope :laugh:.
Btw waiting for the day we're finally there and our theme song is being sung at the GF. It would kill all others and get the 'G really pumping.
-
Beer # 7....
-
Seemed Meatloaf was up to Beer #7 before he went on lol.
I like this quote on twitter: "Consensus is next time Andy D wants to meet a personal hero he should use his own cash & not squander $500k of AFL's money!"
Richo gave it the big thumbs down
http://yfrog.com/khtpuxrj
-
Yeah ol meatloaf was a bit off key lol, takes work to keep that voice in shape.
Whats the free kick / 50m penalty count to Collingwood so far, I have bets on with everyone lol
-
Beer #10.
I love lobster rolls :bow
-
Open game so far. Still could go either way. Jolly can't get off the ground which is giving Otto and West the advantage at nearly every ball-up. Geelong's crumbers need to do more when the ball hits the ground in the forward line. The Cats greatest threat is Cloke.
-
why are u ppl on here? I am going to launch into some beam, ben cousins style...
-
Pods out is a big out for Geelongs forward. Leon jumping to get Harry Taylor high.
-
I would've thought the Cats would've tried to get to half-time and put Pods' shoulder back in, give him a jab and then see how he was over the half-time break before subbing him off. They'll now need to rotate West and Otto forward alongside Hawkins to keep their structure. Actually they are looking too tall down there ironically. Geelong's crumbers aren't getting anywhere near it and are allowing the Pies to clear the ball far too easliy. Chris Scott will blast the crap out them at half-time. Lucky for Geelong they are only 3 points down. The game almost got away from them in that quarter before fighting back in the last 10 mins.
ps. The umps need to lift as well.
-
#11 :cheers
-
13 :cheers
-
What a joke the goalumpire missed the ball clearly hitting the post when he was right underneath it ::). If the Pies were to win by less than a kick then the result will be a farce.
Cats doing well to be 7 up. Hopefully the few sore Pies out there tiring will help the Cats in the last. Tommy Hawkins has actually stood up as a real footballer in 2 of the 3 finals :o.
-
Cats are home
Up yours Pies :rollin
-
Great win by Geelong.
Sucked in to collingwood so many of there supporters all year thought they had it in the bag.
-
lol Year of the toof is over with an epic fail. Now we don't have to listen to the screaming of babboons mating which they call a theme song but we will have to listen to the screaming of babboons fighting and flinging faecal matter over their tantrums of fail. How funny was the Eddy cam showing his beetroot red head slowly warping into strange and horrific shapes of disbelief as the game wore on lol.
-
Stevie J tore Harry O a new one on one leg.
Cloke went missing in the second half when the game counts the most.
Geelong kicked last 8 goals didnt they? So collingwood are back ot being the Colliwobbles of old.
-
Misery loves company, misery and Collingwood go together. Its a match made in heaven actually. Scumwood lose another GF and its terrific ;D
-
Cats by 43,44 or 45 :thumbsup
:banghead
If Colonwood had not been awarded that goal that clearly hit the post,Cats WOULD have won by 43.
Thanks for coming.

I feel.......alive! ;D
Ps 19 beers. The sack is calling
-
vest effing daty of my life. go you cats. tommy hawkins stuff yeah!
-
Great Game
Too many of the pies big players didnt stand up ie: Swan
Cats were great
Hawkins: almost match winner I reckon
Stevie J: incredible display
If anyone remembers this quote:
"the juggernaught has left the port, and thers nofing you can do to stop it, I have TWO WORDS for you: COOOLLLLIIINNNGGGWWWOOOOOODD!!!" Not :wallywink
-
I think it was RR who was talking about Collingwood 2011 being like Essendon 2001 carrying injured players into the GF. Very similar GFs with the Pies up by 3 goals in the 2nd quarter before getting run over by the healthier and better side.
Leon Davis will go down at the worst GF player ever. Couldn't get near it in 4 GFs now and never played in a winning one.
Jimmy Bartel a well deserved Norm Smith medal - just pure class and courage.

Yeah I thought it was a massive risk going in with Jolly and Reid in particular, and thankfully it blew up in their face. Fantastic result :thumbsup

Add Didak, Blair plus an out of form Dawes and Leigh Brown (who is joining Melbourne's coaching staff in 2012 btw). Leon Davis is a proven GF hack. Swan had a Brownlow hangover.
Yes a fantastic result :thumbsup

You forgot that big rabbit Nick Maxwell. God, he's useless! Meh, what's up doc?
-
Watching the grand final just confirmed to me that to win you need A grade players and the truth is we dont have enough - just make sure we make GWS pay through the nose for Foley. That means pick 1 in the U17draft and a prelisted player IMHO.
In my honest opinion, gamewise, I thought it was a pretty ordinary affair. Both teams looked flat at the start, Geelongs forward pressure in the first half was abysmal. Collingwoods defence, a pox on them, was pretty good though. Losing Pods helped them in a way, getting a faster bloke on the ground helped em open it up. Collingwood look flat, and did last week too. Lets hope this sends them into freefall like it shattered the Saints and they deteriorate into the rabble they deserve to remain.

I must have watched something else, I thought it was a sensational first 3 quarters.

Agree thought it was a terrific grand final for 3/4s
-
What the hell u blokes talking about? 3/4's pffft. Loved the whole stuffing game ;D
Close game for most part and Pies spanked in the end. :thumbsup
-
I thought it was slow and full crap fumbly passes, noone was holding onto marks, and the umpiring was crap as usual. Every time Geelong scored the umps would pluck a free out for Collingwood to keep in touch, it was disgusting. The Hawthorn / Collingwood game was a much better spectacle imo.
-
I got no energy good nit
-
go back to nuttersville owl you sick son

You can't make me, Im on the interweb.

do as i say or youll pay.. the the return of you know what will come...

Channel 7 better not hire Matthew Lloyd or Luke Darcy.
I never want to put up with them commentating a grand final again. They gave collingwood nothing but excuses and even tried to make excuses for umpire's mistakes that went in favour of collingwood.
-
Huddo must be loving his day job in the commentary box. His Cats have won the flag the last 3 times Ch 10 have telecasted it: 2007-09-11.
(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2011/10/01/1226155/156300-collingwood.jpg)
"Happy days are here again ..." ;D
Winning only two flags in the past 52 years and losing another GF (1960-64-66-70-79-80-81 & 2002-03-11) sucks doesn't it Ed :wallywink.

HA HA! Classic shot MT. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then that one's worth a million Shakespearian sonnets. As for those dates (60-64-66-70-77-79-80-81-& 2002-03-11), as Paul Keating used to say, "What a beautiful set of numbers."
-
Have to say the filed umpiring on the whole (bar a couple of average decisions) was very good indeed
that should be the norm rather than the exception because it's GF day
ANd C'wood piad for playing 2 boles who clearly weren't fit enough too
And finally Leon Davis, at least 4 times in the last 45 mins of the game just didn't attack the man with the footy.... very poor
-
How ungracious was Nick Maxwell? Thanks the Collingwood supporters for coming first and then congrats Geelong ::)
Commentators were annoying - very biased towards Collingwood I thought. Didn't give Geelong any credit until it was obvious Collingwood couldn't win. :wallywink
-
Man, I was toasted yesterday....
I mean, I love being drunk, but, I just hate being hungover... :chuck
Oh well, Collingwood is no longer reogning premiers, plus daylight savings has kicked in. All is good with the world :thumbsup

yeah has got a lot to learn about being gracious in defeat

Oh BTW I've decided OER should put some sort of band together and offer our services as the pre-match entertainment in 2012.
We could do it for half of what the AFL paid Mr Loaf and we'd be a helluva lot better....seriously it wouldn't be hard ...gawd he was dreadful ;D

How much did Meat Loaf get for that?
I think I read on bigfooty 600k.

Wasn't worth $0.05

How hard would it be to get them out in the middle? The NRL manage it and as bad as he was, I popped out for a minute and had a quick look (sounded terrible) would be better with a stage in the middle of the ground rather than stuck in corner - Don't know why they bother at all! What a waste of money!
and you may joke WP but at least it would be funny.
Blister in the sun would be one of a medley we could do.

Demetriou said today that Meatloaf did his best :rollin but he agreed the pre-match entertainment was disappointing and flat ...
