Collingwood win = Good for us !!

The Collingwood win will take a fair bit of heat off us in the media this week. They will attract the most media attention of all the clubs left in the race. It would be nice to sneak as far as possible under the radar this week, but it's prelim week. Let's hope that Eddie makes some outlandish statement that keeps the focus on his mob !!

Best I could find:

"This is Mick Malthouse's final," said a beaming McGuire.

"The coach kept his structure and his heart, this was Mick Malthouse's second half, he was sensational, absolutely sensational. He had trust in his players, they trusted him and we are in the preliminary final."

Well, scores would have been level, who knows what may have happened.

Having had a chance to digest that very strange game I am still dumbfounded that Pies got up. Adelaide lost it with a massive cluster of unforced errors. Pies were lucky - can't be anything else when CLoke and that Leigh Brown bloke start kicking straight....

Adelaide was also the inform side leading into the finals

Luck had only a small part to do with it. The Magpies played well in the second half and put the pressure on Adelaide, who are becoming bigger chokers in finals than their mates at Alberton

And the inform side leading into the game against us!

I'm starting to not trust their form

That was Collingwoods final IMO.

Good to see Adelaide gone.

We will finish off the Dogs this week .... then Geelong.

But only if we bring our 100% game on the day.

Aussie, pretty much my feelings mate. GOT to be 1000% effort in the PF cannot afford to be rolled early as we were against Hawthorn.
I respect ALL our finals rivals and expect nothing but hard yakka from here on in! The coach and his staff appear to have the players in the right frame of mind for the big games. What will be will be.....
