in hindsight i have to agree with tom harley i think who said it about pods maybe slowing hawkins development this year taking the 2nd tall forward off him. Geelong wonte want to cull to many players at once. bring in some youth but also be able to make the top 8 next year.
The top sides are a fair way ahead of the rest as there's plenty of mediocre sides this year which is why the top 4 didn't change from 2009 for the first time ever. So the Cats will most likely still make the finals next year but the longer they put off moving players on the more it will hurt their list management in the coming years as their champion players age and retire.

MT what i witnessed tonight after being at the game was the permiers for 2010.

Easy to say it in hindsight but i knew it from the first bounce.

Colliwobbles will be dead and buried in 7 days time, unfortunately :banghead :banghead

I have been to quite a few non richmond games and would have to say Pies supporters are the worst in the league, far greater than the Blues.

They actually make me sick. So much so i walked out at 3 quarter time. Bunch of losers i just hope Saints or Dogs beat them by 1 point.

On a brighter note if they pull it off and Swan wins the Brownlow its happy days for my wallet. My wallet will win but my head wont be happy to see those pricks hold the cup.

Dont make any poor excuses for Geelong cause there was none last night.
They were smashed in every position. Malthouse let Ablett run loose while covering his team-mates in a brilliant game plan.
It was sadly over at 1/4 time & after halftime the skunks were saving thier players for next week.
They are awesome & they are going to make us alot of money come Monday & Saturday  ;D

after that they can eat poo.

anyone thinking Harry O is not a major part of that side is a fool, he was awesome from the start to finish.
His role is too leave his man & attack from defence which he did with so much ease against a team of champs.

That was one of the biggest punishments l seen in a final. forget the scoreline it reflected nothing.

What we are starting to see is that there are number of players in the geelong side who are are really nothing special. Just honest players lucky enough to be around a core of very good players in a well coached team. There would probably be 1/2 a dozen players for Geelong that could have made a difference to the Wallace coached team we had to endure. Any of the others would have been found out and much maligned for not delivering if we had managed to pinch them. Nearly all premiership sides will have players that are made to look better than they are because of the team they are in. This may be even more so in the modern game.

As for collinwoood, sadly they looked pretty good last night.  :chuck

I think you are being way to generous Monk  ;D

I thought it was over 15 minutes into the 1st qtr - the Pies were that good

And I will admit I have absolutely no problem if they win the thing now......

Because my late Dad; Pa Powell was Pies Man all his life, loved them with a passion

And beleive it or not it is because of Pa Powell that I follow the Tigers.... FACT  ;D :thumbsup

i sent an sms 2 minutes to my brother sitting in the MCC congrats its all yours. So confident i slapped another 100 on em at the Vaucluse Hotel pre game.

Everyone with half a brain knew they were gone. Even Bomber did. Look and listen to his comments. Never heard so much crap before. he was worried he knew it thats why he tried to play the Jealous card but he ended up looking the fool.

Geelong are gone. Im not saying that because they were smashed last night but aside from that i still scratch my head how a team with Byrnes, Lonergan, Blake, Ling, Ottens, Milburn, Hunt was any chance to win a flag this year. Their bottom 6 are crap and always have been crap. I still laugh at how people compared them to the Brisbane team...lol

I can see how we got rid of Ottens. Soft and weak as pee. Would rather Pattison in our team than him.

Everyone wanting some easy cash would be well advised to slam all their hard earned on the Pies.

When a big lug kicks a 60m mongrel punt heading for the boundary and it bounces at right angles 20m out and goes through for a goal you know it's your night.

If the Saints get through tonight they should have the motivation after last year's GF loss to be at least competitive against the Pies as defensive pressure is also their strength but it's hard to see them doing it over 4 quarters to win. They could only do it for a half in the Qualifying Final against Geelong two weeks ago and as our Jack showed twice this year their key defenders are vunerable 1-on-1. Collingwood would have to choke big time next week to lose it. Sadly I can't see it. If the Dogs cause an upset tonight then the Granny will be a repeat of last night with the game all over 15 minutes in :help.

Anything can happen in footy especially if the Saints aren't switched on at the start and the Dogs get a 2-3 goal lead early but you'd expect the Saints to win given the Bullies' injuries.

Not sure if it's a swirly breeze tonight but the Pies won't have too much to worry about based on the first half. Fumbles, turnovers and dumb footy going forward by both sides especially the Saints. I won't give away the live score for those watching the tellie.
