      Having said that, I'll certainly be supporting the Giants against Collingwood but if they're in the GF against the Lions, it's go Brisbane! But I don't barrack for either and never will.

        Would the posters who wish to discuss the planned new Tasmanian team please create a separate thread. It is not relevant to the 2023 Finals Series, which is the topic of this thread,

          “Carlton, Collingwood and Brisbane may have longer histories but after 12 seasons GWS have a claim to sentiment of their own.”

            I sent you the link to the 150 years thread that you missed - happy to discuss the matter in that thread. This one keeps getting diverted, and Meg's not happy.

              If Collingwood lose to the giants, it will be a worse finals exit than both Melbourne and port.
              Melbourne straight sets exit was unlucky because it was only inaccuracy in front of goal that caused the losses. They won all other stats. Fixing there forward line is the only issue they have.
              Ports straight sets exit was caused by injuries at the wrong time of year, and they were one of the weakest finals sides who happened to win a lot of close games in the H&A. A top 4 finish flattered them.

              Now the pies were outplayed and lucky to win against Melbourne, so if they lose to the giants they will have been outplayed in both finals. Terrible result for the top team.

              I'm not sure their game style stacks up in finals.

              Collingwood only finals win last year was a home game against a cooked fremantle.

                This morning there was a headline in The Age comparing Daicos to Federer. They are putting too much pressure on this kid.

                        I'm currently sitting amongst Collingwood ferals with a sprinkling of Giants.

                        Hopefully the Giants go bang and keep them silent!

                          Giants going OK . Two huge opportunities
                          to score goals . Missed .

                            T.Green would be the first player I’d pick from an opposing team

                              Giants have been outmuscling Collingwood for much of the quarter.

                                Sam Taylor consistently pushes his opponent in the back in order to take a mark. Commentators come out with the "best one on one player in the comp" tripe.

                                Diametrically opposite interpretation to the way they used to interpret the rules when Micky O was playing.

                                If a Swan was doing it they would be pinged every time.
