Oppo Camp 2018 Grand Final - Collingwood v West Coast

[cats_09]

The Pies may need to start blaming Eddie - it was mentioned late in the telecast that the Pies have never won a premiership in the month of September during his lifetime; he was born 29 October 1964 so that is coming up on 54 years & it seems that their president is their biggest curse.

How often do we see in GF's that great moments win flags. McGovern's mark and what followed was a great moment.

much like Bundys mark in 2011....

Tide changer

GO Catters

Super disappointed about this result. Wanted to see Trav get another premiership.

Yeah, so did I. But on the other hand, it's good his premierships are with Geelong.

Happy for Vardy, after his years of misery + pain.

 

[you pick one]

Vardy better than Varcoe in the last quarter.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Great spectacle. Commiserations to the pies Nothing left on the park.
Footy wins.

How many touches for pendles?
Hardly noticed him after quarter time.

Shuey was huge in the first half.

 

[Hello Kitty]

What's up with BF?

Have Collingwood fans broken BF already?

Cannot get past page 17 lol

 

[year of the cat]

Vardy would be handy for us..

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

And Murda was robbed in the AFL sprint by two guys who don't even play AFL. The tragedy of it all.

20 for Pendlebury

Adams had 31

Shuey had 34

WCE maintain their stronghold on winning cold weather premierships (please note the following temperatures are approximate as I can't remember the exact temps given a couple of days ago):

1992: 17c
1994: 17c
2006: 15c
2018: 12.1 when I just checked BOM

And as for their GF losses - it didn't mention 1991 or 2005, but in 2015 it was over 31.5c

so for whatever reason, the cold weather suits them

Good on Vardy for getting a medal after all he's been through. Missed out in 2011 and didn't look like he'd make it as a player with all his injuries. Has been a fine player for the Eagles.

He wasn’t a passenger either. Had a very good game.

 

[Baudolino]

Grundy was terrible. Collingwood would have won if Thurlow had slipped through to their draft pick and they'd grabbed him instead.

 

[Partridge]

He wasn’t a passenger either. Had a very good game.

Yep. Took some important marks too.

Great win. 5 goals down and still pulled it off. Credit to Darling for getting that rather large Gigantopithicus off his back in the third.

 

[Strange Cat]

Good on the Eagles it was a good game to watch

Always nice seeing Collingwood lose

 

[Strange Cat]

Personally would have went with hurn for the Nomr

Don’t laugh at me

Right time, right place. Good on him yes, NN will be shattered

 

[rocker_oz33]

Both AA rucks sucked b@lls Gawn last week grundy today.

 

[Turkey Tom]

Now that the minor stuff is all over we can get to trade week and the draft.

 

[Frappe]

thought Schofield played a really good game

Yep. I thought he might be a liability but he was strong all day and won some important contests. Barrass as well.
