2010 AFL Grand Final Collingwood v St Kilda

[hearts on fire]

St.Kilda in a tight tussle...... bout 15 points i believe.

[mal]

Anyone backing SK at the points be wary

2009 GRAND FINAL
SK were +7 at the points
GE kick a goal after the siren with no SK player manning the goalsquare
Defenders had walked off the ground
That goal made the + points punters lose

2010 PRELIM FINAL
the points betting was at about -28 for SK over WB
SK had 5 players on the Interchange late in the game
HAHN took a mark on the final siren
HAHN kicked a goal that no one saw
Once again the SK defenders left the field
That goal made the points punters lose as the final margin was 24 points

QUESTION
Could a SK defender have stopped that kick if on the goaline ???????????????????

As 4 Lyon having 5 guys on the Interchange what a goose
By playing one short you are by odds definition denying the ball to the SK players
Made more sense to play 18 on the ground gain possesion and kick it sideways and backwards
A gamestyle tactic perfected under Lyon

To beat CO , SK will need to deny CO the ball and possess it
That will be side kicks, back kicks, short forward kicks
Mess up the spectacle and win
If they take on CO and attack they might get flogged

The side that gets an early lead of 2-3 goals will win this

[the big bang]

i see where you're coming from mate, but i rekon at that point he was more thinking about preservation of players legs and less chance of injury.

If you saw who was on the bench you could see that Ross Lyon was clearly resting his gun players for next week. The five players were Nick Dal Santo (best outside midfielder), Michael Gardiner (best ruckman), Brendon Goddard (best utility), Lenny Hayes (best inside midfielder) and Nick Riewoldt (best player). All of these players are irreplaceable and if any of these players didn’t play against Collingwood then St Kilda certainly would not win.

According to what Nettlefold was told, had the Saints finished above the Magpies it would have been St Kilda's right to play in their traditional jumper.

But Collingwood do not have a marked alternative to their black and white stripes and, according to president Eddie McGuire, will not entertain the thought of one.

This has led to considerable angst in the past and a degree of bemusement at other clubs where changes have been demanded.

Yep. Another glaring example of how some clubs have far more pull than others, and the incredible double standards of the AFL.

It is one of the few times I agree with anything Collingwood does, I think kudos to the pies for standing up to the AFL and not changing their jumper. If you can't see a big red panel on the saints jumper then bad luck.

as Sir Eddie once said....

"If all 15 other clubs have alternate guernseys, then we don't need one"

It has been going on a lot longer than McGuire's presidency, looking at http://www.footyjumpers.com, Geelong used an alternative jumper against Collingwood back in 1914 and 1921.

Gees. Never knew they'd lost so many!

[Q.]

And on the other side of the coin you have the Saints, who've struggled to even get to the big dance.

[White Line Fever]

And on the other side of the coin you have the Saints, who've struggled to even get to the big dance.

Either way it's gonna be good.

I just wish I was abit older when the Crows won in 97/98.

Here is Geelong streets after last year.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BewVTAq ... re=related

Either way Melbourne will be a good place to be in Saturday night.

Gees. Never knew they'd lost so many!

Played 41 I think and won 14 with one draw. Out of their last 20 GF's they've only won 3!

[Q.]

I wonder how many times they were the underdogs, like in 2002/3

[Hondo]

I wonder how many times they were the underdogs, like in 2002/3

In my living memory

1980
1979
1981?
1977

Damn! I obviously knew about the 'Collywobbles' but didn't realise it was so extreme! I almost feel sorry for them.




Almost.

I'll give you 2002, but in 2003 the lead up was all about how far Collingwood! Been there last year, beat Brisbane in the qualifying final, etc. etc. Fortunately Brisbane didn't want a bar of it!
