Geelong or the pies

Not sure but one thing is that the game between Collingwood and Geelong will be a bruising match. All the better for us.

I still reckon Freo might stretch the Cats, maybe even beat them. Weirder things have happened

(Perhaps just not in September?)

lol can you imagine.

Freo have one really big thing going for them.

They have absolutely nothing to lose.

Freo haven't a chance in hell of beating the Cats. They don't have the physical strength to compete with them.

Carlton beat Essendon in the 1999 prelim.

I'm hoping for a rematch of last year's GF with the Cats.
We know we can match them but I have some doubts about whether we can do the same against Collingwood and I also couldn't bear to lose a flag against them. Luke Ball would just add more salt to that wound.

Some other thoughts...Collingwood is more or less at full strength and Swan is near unstoppable at the moment...whilst Geelong will have had 3 weeks of tough finals footy compared to the Pies having a rest.

Did we win in your dream SainterK?

Would have been a nightmare otherwise...

What was the score?

Oh we won, Collingwood kicked 2 18 30, it was so clear, I typed it up here that morning so I wouldn't forget

Geelong will need their kitty litters on standby. The Dockers will give them a good run for their money, IMO.

Actually would like to see Geelong win tomorrow night unscathed, and as i said in another blog, have a tough hard, overtime extended game against Pies.
Basically, which ever wins are basically spent and fade badly in the 2nd half of the GF against us.

Maybe so about the strength, but they can produce the run! I don't think tonight will be as clear-cut as the odds make out to be. In fact, I'm going to go get me some of that $7 on the Dockers! I'm amazed, as an unknown, that they are out that far in the betting woods!

Were we to play Geelong and lose, we'd all think we should have seen it coming, as we were unlikely to beat them 3 times in one season, and we'd wish we'd played Collingwood.

Were we to play Collingwood and lose, we'd all think we should have seen it coming after what happened last time we played them, and we'd be convinced that we would have beaten Geelong because we had the wood on them.

Call me sentimental, but NOTHING would bring as much pleasure to this ol' Sainter's heart than to see the Mighty Saints beat Collingwood in a Grand Final....again...

Nothing would bring more pleasure to 90% of football fans across the country to do that. If we play the 'Pies, every supporter of every other club will be on our side.

If the Saints make the GF - I would rather play Geelong or the Docker,
I don't want Collingwood to even make it, can't stand their supporters

Can I pick Fremantle, until later tonight they are a potential Grand Final opponent.

This is what I am hoping for, with every ounce of my being.

A couple of suspensions for the winner would also be appreciated.

Would be interesting if both teams got crucial injuries to top players in their games (I dont wish this) but could be interesting

I want Fremantle

St_Cave · Post: # 985576Post **St_Cave** » Fri 10 Sep 2010 3:27pm

I think I would prefer to play Geelong for the following reasons.

1) Revenge
2) We seem to match up pretty well against them
3) I think that the hurt from last year will be magnified if we played Geelong. I believe the team is more likely to turn up to really play and they won't let anything stop them beting Geelong. I think from an emotional perspective the players would be more fired up on gameday to beat Geelong.
