Bottom few St Kilda players have been a problem. If they werent so of the pace the Saints would of been in with a red hot chance today.

The Pies have the yips in front of the sticks but it depends how much energy the Saints used that quarter to get it back to 8 points. St Kilda still need the first goal of the last otherwise you'd reckon the Pies will get home in a low scoring affair. If the Pies kick the first couple then the score could blow open.

Damn! Sheesh when the Saints hit the front I thought they had them.

Great game obviously :clapping. Hayes (Norm Smith) and Goddard were brilliant in that second half. Dragged the Saints back. What a joke Hayes missed out on the AA team and O'Brien got in.

Maxwell already sooking and whinging about coming back next week :nopity

My highlights were -

1. Harry O'Brien getting slaughtered by the umps twice and then Goddard climbing all over him to put the Saints in front.
2. Nick Maxwell's 'heroic' chase to rush Riewoldt goalbound kick actually costing the pies in the end as Saints scored shortly after the kick in and it cost them 7 points not 6....

Have to agree with Maxwell its abit of a joke having another game next week just play an extra 10 minutes or something.

Hahahahahaha Col E Wobbles in September.

Massive choke by Collingwood  Cloke Thomas Blair and so.

Smacks of 1977. Collingwood gave up a big lead then too and lost the replay. De ja vu. :pray

I reckon the body language of St Kilda post match was much more positive.

Poor Nick Maxwell you come back next week. If you don't like it then don't play or better still lose. :nopity

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Massive choke.  :lol :rollin :lol :stupid :ROTFL

agree with Tucky ... Pies choked. Lyon is a smart coach he saw what worked and what didnt. The saints coughed up 4 goals just from there own mistakes and blokes like Eddy shouldnt be in the side. Saints by 24 points next week!

Not sure what Maxwell was on about... in the end, it was a fitting result that neither of the two most pathetic sides in the history of grand finals went home with the cup.

Winners from today. The AFL. They are having money fights right now as we speak.

The bookies. They are counting their money.

In hindsight could their have been a more apt result.

Collingwood v St Kilda the two worst Grand Final teams in the last 50 years when they get there.
If only I would have made a sh1tload of $$$$$$$$.

Collingwood the ledger goes up by 1. 52 years without a Grand Final win in September. :lol :rollin :lol :wallywink :help :stupid :woohoo :ROTFL :congrats

LOL Jake and Tucky. Very apt result when you put it like that :lol


I'm for one pro to keeping the replay. What's wrong with keeping a rare tradition when we all knew the rules beforehand. Nah Nick let's have a sook after the result because the result didn't go your way :nopity. Not to mention the AFL will make $$$ from another $100k seats sold. Hopefully like 1977 more of the ordinary members can go to the replay. However I won't hold my breath as it'll be so typical of Demetriou and Anderson to overreact to something that has happened just 3 times in 150 years and change the rules to extra-time  ::).

Agree MT its not the AFL's fault its a replay the rules have been their for 150 years. However it's a bad one, horrible one. My cousin a Saint tragic, missed out on a GF ticket, paid for a Sydney Swans corporate ticket package worth 1.4k and flown himself from London costing him $2k return has come and seen a draw and walk away without seeing a result... Makes no sense.

That aside in no professional sport do we have our Premiership day replayed if the teams are dead locked. Its common sense play extra time of 2 x 5 or 10 minute halves. If the scores are tied have another 2 minute halves and so on.

The draw as a whole is pointless, historical or not it shouldn't hold a place in our game anymore. Our game is not like soccer that rewards weaker teams for being defensively strong against stronger teams. If an AFL game is drawn both teams are good enough to win and should be given the opportunity to do so.

Its common sense, go into the rooms come out 10 mins later and play 2 x 5 or 10 min halves....

Pies lost it in the first 10-12 minutes of the final qtr - should have nailed them but played really dumb footy

What was Thomas thinking going to Dawes one on one whe he a spare man 20 metres away- DUMB DUMB FOOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep Eddy out but for who will be interesting as there's no one obvious. Out of Armitage, Geary or they could add an extra tall in Stanley.
McEvoy will need to come in for Gardiner if he's injured.

Hasn't and may not be mentioned but I thought that was the best umpired game I have ever seen.

So good I can't even tell you who they were other then Ray Chamberlin who was hardly sighted.

I can't believe I'm saying this but well done umps.  :clapping
Go Tigers!
