However, I do at least hope for a game is that is one hell of a gruelling, darwinian survival-of-the-fittest style struggle which will bring the winner into GF week nursing their wounds

Pies are simply our best chance.Not saying we can't beat the Cats but given the fact they have won 2 of the last 3 GF's[lucky with the last!!] and we would need to beat them 3 times this year to win it..and the pies would be under serious pressure/smack the pies and imagine how sweet that would be!!!
That said the Cats win and we would welcome some direct revenge

Gambler's fallacy I think that is. We play well against Geelong and that will give us a lot of confidence, as opposed to our last outing against Collingwood

I hate Gelong more than I hate Collingwood, so I would like to see Geelong win so we can give them some heartbreak in the GF. But in saying that what better way to finish the year that by spanking Collingwood.
If they get into the GF and ball is playing and they win, he will be a lucky boy. Not many move to a team and become premiership players.

Having said that, I think losing a Prelim to the Dogs would be much worse.
That is exactly my train of thought too.
Although the last line also rings true for me so...
who cares...bring 'em on...but we need to do over the doggies first....... \
p.s. ....good assessment of f*** face by walls...
"But in recent weeks, Thompson has done things he normally doesn't. Immediately after the close loss to St Kilda, in week one of the finals, he squealed big time about a controversial umpiring decision when there were lots of more valid reasons why his team lost. It was unlike him. This week, he has been vocal about Collingwood being the team under pressure, more so than his, because it's been a few years since the Pies won a flag. Again, not what we've come to expect from the normally unruffled coach. Perhaps he believes his team's action'

Geelong to win over Collingwood if only it means we won't have a week of the Anti-Collingwood brigade getting on our bandwagon.
You know the types "I barrack for ----- but I hate Collingwood so I'd really like Saint Kilda (sic) and you have to beat Collingwood"
So let that honour go to Geelong and we can run in free without the added pressure.

agreed, I hate the filth, cats and bulldogs.
I spent two days in Geelong this week as part if an on going training in firearms and defensive techniques, and the amount of cars bearing cats flags were amazing, gee I feel for other supports that live in that town.
As far as the filth go, they seem to think they have already got to the GF and have won. One of the officers at work chose to wear a filth jumper all day instead of his uniform or suit. I had a go at him and he just laughed.
I hate the Bulldogs for personal reasons and I hope we smash them this weekend...
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Cats for me! Whilst the hatred for both teams is strong the respect for the Cats is far stronger.
The Pies have a few similarities to us last year. Finished first at the end of the home and away season having beaten all the other top four teams along the way. Had a reasonably easy week 1 of finals. Go into the tougher of the 2 prelims for the year. Have their key full back struggling with injuries to make the team. Have Luke Ball playing. We can hope they can get through and the same pressures help topple the would be kings of the AFL. I am confident we can beat the mob from Wobblewood should we be so lucky to play them.
The Cats just plain scare me if the get through to the GF. The hunger they have for 3 flags in 4 years and the desire not to let the Qual final happen again only make the scarier. It will take a massive effort to beat this magnificent team 3 times in the one year. Hoping for the Pies but truely beleiving in the Cats.

I was neither here nor there.
Then I saw a whole lot of filth supporters at the station on the way home from work , with their missing teeth, ciggies etc..
