Watching Darren Jolly the other night made me remember why I don't want Collingwood to win a flag. Goddammit. Now I'm torn. I don't want to see the Pies win, but I really don't want to see the Saints win either (though it would be nice for the Schneiderman and Dempster). Somehow I actually think Pies fans would be more gracious than Saints fans (who have a chip on their shoulder from last year, and whose team haven't been the best side this year).
What a @@@@ty decision to have to make.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

My favourite sporting statistic is that Collingwood have won three of their last 20 grand finals. Come on Pies - let's make it three out of 21.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Despite the pies appearing to have all the form going into the GF and the bookies starting them short priced favorites, I still think the fact that the Saints were there last year will hold them in good stead. And the way they had to finish off strongly last night after half time while the pies actually slowed down from half time in their match works in St Kilda's favour. So I reckon it will be Schneider getting his second premiership to go with 05 and not Jolly.Comment

You can guarantee though that there will be alot of niggling biffo, and the odd all in brawl - and thats just in the stands!
Still having said all that and taken the piss out of the Pies, they did look the goods because on Friday night, they made the Cats look old and slow. I still believe that the umps were somewhat intimidated by the crowd, but in the end, Collingwood (and it really pains me to say it) were the better team and will probably win by about 35 pts come Saturday.Last edited by Wardy; 20 September 2010, 06:59 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Ignore my initial points that a Pies win could be good for the Swans. But can anyone genuinely say they don't see Collingwood playing some of the best football you've ever seen? There was even a moment during our game against the Pies at ANZ when I sat back and thought "we've lost so I may just as well enjoy the show". The Pies were simply that much better than the Cats on Friday. Wishing that the incredibly negative (2005 Swans to the max) Saints the flag doesn't make sense.
Having said that, I'm really not looking forward to Jolly winning the flag on Saturday. He may be a nice enough, not too bright, bloke but he is a remarkably selfish individual. Straight after the 2005 GF I asked him if he had any regrets about moving from Melbourne and he laughed and said "what's Melbourne?". Now I bet he'd say "Sydney? Who are they?"Comment

[QUOTE=Wardy;510361 I still dont want them too win - so c'mon Saints, not that I like them much either - better of two evils I guess![/QUOTE]
You are dead right. Maybe the footy gods could strike down the MCG and we wont declare a winner this year instead.Comment

Pies have been brilliant the second half of the year. Saints have plodded solidly all season. On the prelims you would say the pies were better, but then when the saints play well the nature of their game plan means they don't necessarily look as good as the pies. Geelong were a beaten team early on who were possibly playing with the realisation that their time, as good as the last 4 years have been, is up. The two games between the teams this year have been won by the team with the least atrocious goal kicking. On form the pies look good and you have to have them as favourites but don't count the saints out.
