Grand Final - your predictions?

[jackstar is back again]

where was the great hope the most on here liked last year, PATTO !! oh please 

[Francois Jackson]

U guys just don't get it. If you want a team to lose as much as I did  you should put your hard earned on that team.
I cleaned up today on the pies winning, all of a sudden there win doesn't seem so bad. It still hurts but knowing the wallet is full softens the blow

Im more interested in how we go about the next 10 days. Next 10 days real important IMHO. Can we get some extra picks inside 30 particularly around the 15 to 20 mark. If we can we can bring in more quality kids and we could be well on our way to finally having a list capable of being developed towards winning a flag.

Yes those pesky finals each year always seem to get in the way of the more important things like trade week and the National draft 

Geez the Sainters have some duds in their side.

Kosi, McQualter, Dempster, Eddy, Jones....

I reckon they'll go hard for Tambling.

Problem is the Saints first pick is around 26 even if they were interested in Blingers. It's not so different to Adelaide's compo pick in the late 20s.

For some extra pace the saints could always go for Jordie . Even Jordie couldn't have done any worse than Peake today .

Wasn't Patto meant to be insurance at the Saints if they copped injuries and needed another tall forward or ruckman .

Kosi is a very very average footballer. Honestly how that bloke gets a game is beyond me.

Ill tell you another footballer who is one weak dog and thats Dal Santo.

Whats done is done and we move on but now that the Pies have won i have one word for Milne that low prick...hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

best thing about Pies winning and the only good thing is Milne doesnt get to have a premiership medal around his neck

Kosi kicked 5 against us in the 2nd last round.

wasn't kosi playing injured?  Anyway I feel sick to my guts those rotten bastards won, it's going to be in the papers for months.

We can only hope that history repeats and it's another 20 years before we have to suffer it again.

All the 16 clubs will now sit down over summer and try to come up with ways to overcome Collingwood's forward press just as they did with Hawthorn and their cluster zone after 2008.

This is what really gripes me. It shouldn't be up to the clubs to have to figure out ways to counter Collingwood's negative tactics. Dimwittyou should get off his lazy, fat, corrupt backside and introduce an off-side rule to keep players in their own half of the ground at all times.

No the AFL should be coming up with a fair bloody fixture so Skumwood dont get to play 18 matches at the MCG.

Im sorry RR but I disagree. Malthouse drilled his team beautifully. They know there system and they know how to get out the back running into goal with little pressure. Clubs need to figure out how to stop it.

Kosi kicked 5 against us in the 2nd last round.

And you've just pointed out why Kosi is an average player Jack  

Will kick a bag against lesser/lower teams like the Tigers, Eagles, Bumbling BOmbers

But against the big boys = the good sides (and C'wood are a bloody good side) he goes missing.

He needed to stand up yesterday - he didn't along with a number of others and I think it is sweet  

Can't stand the Saints!!! 137 years = 1 flag sums them up really  

I agree with what MT said their bottom 6-10 yesterday again showed they're not up to it and it shines even brighter when their big name players struggle

And one thing...their captain.... People are crictical of Clokes kicking for goal, just like they were of Richo's over the years.. Nick Reiwoldt as a captain needs to kick big goals...yet again yesterday he didn't = SWEET

Interesting article on the AFL site today ( I was looking to see who won the norm smith as i refused to watch the end and presentation  ) Malthouse says his defensive structure is based around the roman legions box formation as well as aspects from rommels stategies.
I can see what he means about the box formation and i think dimma may be trying to install something similar.

Kosi is a sniper... ordinary bloke and an agricultural footballer

He's actually a really nice bloke, not the best player and am shocked that they signed him for another two years, but reckon your comment is well off the mark
