St. Kilda v Collingwood first final - could u imagine??

[johnpeterbudgefanclub]

Seriously though.

The atmosphere and the like, playing at the 'G', would make this one hell of a match. A match that either u guys or us playing an interstate rival or other Melbourne based team in the finals could not rival.

Would be a promotor's and AFL (:evil: ) dream.



Agree and thoughts?

[Spinner]

We would SMASH the absolute s*** out of them.

[SaintBot]

nothing would make me happier than to knock off the pies in a final...however nothing could make me more depressed than to lose to them in a final

[fonz_#15]

i would definately not argue with this to be the case

How many teams have we smashed this year?

Maybe we will play a final in the daylight now that would be nice

[St.Kenny]

We are just playin catch up footy. Gettin over run in the last quarters consistently if you havent noticed. Dont deserve to be there and frankly would be just as happy to start plannin for '08 after next Sat thsn fall in and embaress ourselves again. We're runnin on 1 piston

[Animal Enclosure]

Can't agree there Kenny, the last fortnight has shown glimpses of how well we can play.
Losing Attard & having Bally & X on one leg cost us any chance of running the game out, yet we still had a 10 minute period of domination in the last quarter.
Fiora kicks that goal, Vossy doesn't give away the 50 & we could have just about held them out.

4 weeks ago I would have agreed with you even if my heart said NO.

We were losing to teams that we had on toast due to lack of effort.

We are still losing the last quarters, albeit by smaller amounts but not due to effort other than 5-10minutes. We ahve got to learn how to keep players on the park. We seemed to blessed (not) with this gift every year and generally just before finals time.

Once again Clarke corky), Attard (knee) fell short on the day strestching the midfield exchange and freed up opposition player movement. Despite this we still were competitive against a very good (albeit also under injury cloud) team. The difference is that their injured did not occur on game day other than Hanson. Judd was the known exception like Ball.

To me, making the finals is all about how much money the club can make, as we will really struggle to make an impact due to our poor fitness base (unless our opponents get match day injuries).

Is revenue split 50/50 in finals, or does the home team take all the bounty??

IMO this is an important issue, given our drop in membership

To me it's about being alive one more week in September, and dreaming the impossible dream just that little bit longer. Then getting smacked in the mouth and told to snap out of it

All clubs split the finals money as far as I know.

Ive not looked to clsoe at the new ladder...Can the pies slip if they lose, or do they get to choose their potential rival the follwoing week by winning or losing??

Oh..and Id much rather the Tiges win today than lose by 100 points. Reckon theyd have been pumped for that game for weeks. All a bit anti-climactic for them (and I wouldnt be surprised if they "rest a few")

[Otiman]

Basically if Collingwood lose, they play against the Crows again the following week, at the MCG.

No they will have to play Sydney at the G.

very good point!
what is the biggest win of the year anyone? dogs by 50 or 40 wasnt it?
but if we end up playing the pies, i cant see us smashing them, actually i cant see us winning!

Hey Saintbot, that sign in your sig, was that you and your 3 mates that made it and got it confiscated by the security?

[St. Luke]

To be honest I’ve been thinking of this game as a possible scenario, and imagine how funny it would be if we pumped the Pies and sent them packing after we were relying on them to get us into the finals in the first place. Oh well, you can only hope

We’ve been too up and down this season for my liking, but I’m tired of saying “next year we’ll have it all together!â€

[yipper]

Well, I thought I'd never ever have to do this.. but...

GOOO PIES.... KILL EM PIES, FREE ROCCA!! GO PIES. After Friday night though - it's back to I hate the Filth.

[riccardo]

Think of all those tight, tough battles in the 1960's, would be a great atmosphere.

[wildgoose]

Maybe we should dedicate the whole week to Collingwood.
