We are the underdog for sure

[DOC]

You are confusing underdog and unliked.

No recent MCG is interesting considering Lions have struggled there in the past few years. Cmon Lions.

SA Collingwood group watching the game at the Hope Inn on Saturday.
Hope they have channel 7 working by then.

The form line for us against the lions isn't great but we haven't played them at the G for ages.
They are in great form so it could be an absolute belter of a granny.
Could be another 1 pointer to us or Brisbane could belt us.
No Mcstay and no Adams hurts.
Frampton in and will play forward.
If that doesn't work then Howie goes forward and Frampton goes back to defence.
Or fly could put Moore up front and Frampton takes Daniher.
Interesting selection week.

It’s up to Brisbane to save us all

Nah can’t stand em’ and not just because they beat us on Saturday either.
I’m going to have to barrack for the Pies for the 1st time ever!

Well done to Big Billy if he does play.
3rd team now and hasn’t given up.
He’s probably entitled to ask the Crows and Power list managers what they’re doing Saturday.

Good day for golf.

Brisbane's best is better than Collingwood's, but I've always been concerned about their consistency, which is why before the finals I didn't think they'd make the GF.

Collingwood, of their last 8 games, 7 at night and 1 twilight, two and a half months since they played a day game. If it's going to be in the high twenties that could be a huge advantage to a team from Queensland.

Brisbane by 21 points

[DOC]

I've looked back through the years. Watched all available video footage and read all the reviews. Analysed how they have played at different venues, their line ups and how they have played in all weather conditions.

I have reached a conclusion.

Kiss will be shit.

9 most recent MCG GF's all had a non VIC team, 7/9 the VIC team won.
Hate to say it but Brisbane up against it this weekend.

And the two Grand Finals held outside Victoria had all Victorian teams.

Development and coaching mate, not list management. He had his turn at Port, couldn't secure his spot. He had his turn at Adelaide, couldn't secure his spot and let's be fair, if McStay was fit Frampton isn't playing this week. He's in because, as he was at Port and Adelaide, he's next in line.

Yeah fair call.
List managers get them there then the coaches job is to get them to the next level.

Did Port ever try him as a defender?
Wasn’t he always a forward/ruck with Port.
