2011 Grand Final - Central v Eagles @ AAMI (Sun 9/10) 3:20pm

[Big Phil]

So another Dogs v Eagles Grand Final.

As many suggest, there might be a pretty low crowd in attendance.

Discuss away.

I reckon centrals have less finals experience, and are probably a younger side (?), hopefully that won't matter with some good experienced players as well. A massive game for pumpa, and I reckon Schiller on cicollela.

Actually, if you include '95 and '96 it would look like this:

"[Centrals] skills aren't as good as they think they are"

[hot dogs]

Yeah, I heard that comment made as well at the end of the game. May come back to scar you like a squid jag up the clackers

[hot dogs]

It was the weagles player interviewed after the game on the ABC telecast

[CENTURION]

I hope Dunny plays, He is a GUN!!

[hot dogs]

Likewise. He has got pace and a good leg to kick those 50 m goals on the run. Is he fit?

DUNNo.

[HOORAY PUNT]

Stupid comment re skills . You don't say things like that before a GF , especially when it's crap . Most skilled side in the comp by miles.

[The Apostle]

Correct Big Phil.

[hot dogs]

I seem to recall some derogatory comments made by Grima several years ago alongbthe lines of too old, too slow. I also remember that ending up in tears

[Dogwatcher]

Thompson's comment reminiscent of Grima's - a stupid comment that will irk those he's likely to play. It won't provide inspiration but will provide needle and provide reason for a tough, strong showing from the start.
The Dogs will not be sitting on this heels, if they ever were going to, now.
