Match thread: Prelim final; Swans v Magpies.

McInerney is playing well so far.....good sign.

Geez there are some awful, just awful Collingwood supporters. A middle aged Pies fan that should know better ran down to the fence just to yell abuse.

Disgusting behaviour.

One reason I didn't want to go actually- Would have probably gone by myself, and really I don't thin I'd want to be near Collingwood supporters win or lose...

[Blue Sun]

What a quarter of footy!! Our young guns are standing up!

The bloody siren put Buddy off then I reckon! Anyway, another 3 qtrs like that and we are into a Grand Final! Come on boys!

That kick to Buddy was perfect.

[Foreign Legion]

Maynard very tough when his opponent isn't looking.

Great start - finish 'em off Bloods

[stevoswan]

It's pretty clear what Collingwood's strategy here is- get physical- cheat- every stoppage they look at the umpire for a free kick...

And the umpires sometimes fall for it.

Yep, they're believing all the fairytale hype and hoping the umps do too. Umpiring has been just ok so far........but that's better than 2016.

Umps should stop the violence.

Heeney seems a bit off. Hopefully he will pull his finger out and get into the game

[Mel_C]

Why did Reid have a go at Sidebottom after he kicked the goal?

[Maltopia]

Very happy with that start. Would have been great if Franklin kicked that one, but we had the bonus Warner goal.

We have been lucky they haven't scored more as they had a lot of inside 50s. Umpiring is poor, Franklin getting rough treatment, Heeney was pushed in the back when he had the mark called against him etc.

Yes let's maintain or increase this lead so the Umps can't influence the result. Warner is a beautiful kick and the younger players don't look overwhelmed- Good sign that Papley kicked that goal- and Buddy's had a sighter now...so he'll be fine too..

Fingers crossed- I'm a nervous wreck

Has been in a few 'bash and crash' situations so far.....hopefully he hasn't picked up a niggle.

[troyjones2525]

That's 3 goals from stoppages now. We need to fix that!
