    PF2: Geelong v Collingwood

    What are peoples thoughts on this game?

    Geelong with the week off, trying to get there bodies right. Possibly bringing Steve Johnson back into the team, which i think is a risky move, because i don't think he would be anywhere near fit.

    Collingwood hit with injuries tonight, yet were able to dig deep & come away with the win.

    Will the pies get anyone back for this?

    Should we expect a close game, or will Geelong smash them?

    Going to be a big weekend of finals football.

    They think Pendlebury is a chance to be back, in which case you would have to assume he doesn't really care if his fibula is actually healed.

    I think the Cats should win, but Collingwood got close a few years ago and seem to play well against the Cats.

    Will be a big game, but I don't really care. If we make the GF, we can beat either of those teams. And if we have put in the effort to make the GF, we SHOULD beat either of those teams.

      Fraser will play next week too.

      Collingwood spent a fair bit of petrol getting the win tonight on the back of a 6 day break. They'd need a lot to go right for them to come away with a victory IMO. Anything is possible of course - but I think they'll go down by 3-5 goals.

        I reckon the Pies played their GF tonight... can't see them getting over the Catters... Geelong by 5 goals...

          I thought the cats were poor last week and the Pies looked ominous tonight. The big question will be how they pull up after tonight but if they recover well I could see them getting over the cats.

            Collingwood won their GF tonight,if they bring that 1st half effort next week they'll be 10 goals down at half time. What about Craig's finals record? 3 from 9 and ahead in quite a few of those games

              I reckon Collingwood will win. Not sure what I am basing that on because Geelong is obviously one of the best teams in the history of the game. I just think they will be pretty confident against Geelong. They know what they need to do. I think Collingwood play better against sides who try and play against them. The cats will back themselves and attack, I think the pies like shutting these teams down and using that as a spring board for their own attack.

                Geelong aren't travelling as well as many say - we played like utters hite and they still only beat us by 14 points. Having said that, I don't rate Collingwood given their shaky month & would be surprised if they beat Geelong.

                  I'm hoping for Geelong to get up. I think we have their measure, although I think we have Collingwood's too. But i would be happier to play Geelong if we make the big dance.

                      I don't care who wins.

                      I hate Collingwood and their supporters, so we'd NEVER hear the end of it if they win.

                      I live in Geelong and hate the Cats and their supporters too, therefore I wouldn't mid a loss from them. We'll never hear the end of how fabulous Ablett and Selwood are in this town.

                      But I also reeeeeally want St Kilda to go die after last night, so I don't them to win the GF either.

                      It's a lose/ lose situation.

                      Meh, i'll just "hope" Geelong win then. Then they can do a Hawthorn and just be crap next season (In my hopeful dreams).

                          Hope Geelong win this one... hate the Pies. I have a mate who is a diehard Cats fan, but he's the only one... and I can withstand his Facebook bragging. Two work colleagues are Saints fans, so I am hoping for Geelong to win the GF....in our absence

                            Hopefully they both lose.

                              Ump pays a ridiculous free against Harry O'Brien, gifting Sir Ablett a goal... and upon Harry's remonstration, says "Harry, don't worry about it"

                              WTF??? A spot in the GF at stake, and he's supposed to not worry about a goal being gifted? Please..
