    Typical Collingwood supporters they are just sore losers. They need to look at their coach as an example on how to behave.

            10 tackles by JR was huge, closely followed by the 5'9" brute Gulden with 7!

              It is only glimpses with McDonald, but he did some good stuff, and his effort in the 2nd half without Reid was pretty solid. The big stage may have come too early for him - but that's footy, and you just never know. There are 22 blokes there on Grand Final day - he might be the one Geelong doesn't put much time into, and it only takes a moment or two to make a huge impact.

              There is zero way if Reid misses they'll drop Logan as well, so I think it is not going to happen anyway.

He was our best for clearances and contested possessions, equal best for score involvements and our second best for metres gained. Something of an unsung hero sort of game. I thought he was instrumental in our forward progress in the first half, and along with Errol, he had some important touches in the final quarter to slow Collingwood's momentum.
                  Yep Rowy stood up at big moments late, alongside Mills, and Errol was magnificent all day I thought - he is made for finals footy that kid!

                    4th emergency perhaps? Just the name on the team sheet would send shivers through the Cate

                      Pretty good summation of the match by The Roar even though it initially starts out like a Magpies whinge. They reckon we deserve to be in the GF and have every chance of winning.

                        All our younger players were wonderful in their own ways. And I'm confident none is going to be overwhelmed by the occasion next week. Chad's second quarter, in particular, was super, and as you say, Errol was wonderful throughout. Rowbottom was his normal terrier self all match.

                        But JMac had a handful of wonderful moments, Braedon had to adjust to not playing at senior level for many weeks but was able to adjust to the speed of the game well and it was his kick to Papley that resulted in the "sealer". Stephens just kept on running and running and running. McDonald took his moment when it arrived.

                          What about Buddy’s aging soft (overhead) clutch-marking hands, how beautiful was that to see.

                                Do yourself a favour, make sure you read this
