AFL Season 2018

[Ambrose Burnside]

Sucks to be Collingwood. Finish third and your reward is the four hour long-haul to an international time zone.

They would have finished second if they were good enough to beat us at the MCG in the game Nic Nat went down.

[Froggy]

Collingwood finished 3rd with beating what, 1 top 8 team all year? I think they should be happy they are that high in the first place.

[guttermouth]

Looking at the pies year, they pretty much played all bottom teams twice and top eight teams once and could only scrounge up one win. Seems like scoring the easy draw saved Buckley's job. Next year calling it now....They won't finish in the top 8, will get the draw from hell for finishing in top 4

[Ambrose Burnside]

Maggie Varcoe (Travis's sister) has died following an accidental on-field collision with a team mate. Fuck

[Ambrose Burnside]

JETTAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[Froggy]

Keep it classy West Coast fans cheering saint Gaffy. I think everyone hopes you fucks lose because of the behavior towards him. Collingwood shouldn't have even got close last night.. this weeks games are shit am hanging out for the prelims now.

I'm also pissed coz i loaded up all my bets on west coast winning by more then 20 points lol

[Ambrose Burnside]

Port gearing up for another

greatest trade period in history

?

Carn Dees. I’m ready to see another old Vic club break their drought.

[guttermouth]

It would be pretty amazing if for the third year in a row a Vic club suffering for so long comes out and wins the GF

#freekickhawthorn trending again.

[Ambrose Burnside]

I have my Prelim tickets! Christ I hope we put an end to the sickening VFL fairytale narrative in the media with a thumping win. Fuck em. And fuck Melbourne.

[Peppermint Lounge]

Melbourne are ripe. They won their last two games vs WC in Perth and they're in hot form. WC fans must be shitting themselves.

[guttermouth]

Fuck!!! The Tigers are Choking. Not even the Colliwobbles could save them now

[Peppermint Lounge]

I picked Collingwood. Barring injury respite, there is no way the pre finals bye and another week off before a prelim is in any way good.

[Peppermint Lounge]

I also picked Melbourne. Obviously a major malfunction there. Worst case of stage fright in footy I've ever seen.

[guttermouth]

Now it's up to the Fucken Eagles to save us Victorians......

[Peppermint Lounge]

Nah. Happy to see Collingwood get up.

[Ambrose Burnside]

My God that was good. A statement.

JK was immense when the game was there to be won.

12-0 this year with both JK and Darling in the team.

Ranked last for contested footy during the home and away season. First during the finals.

Sheed consecutive career best games as Gaff's replacement. Gawn completely neutralised without Nic Nat.

Simpson for PM. We're due a coup!

[Ambrose Burnside]

Some freaky parallels with 1994:

1994 Qualifying Final

West Coast 11.16 (82) def. Collingwood 12.8 (80) at the WACA

2018 Qualifying Final

West Coast 12.14 (86) def. Collingwood 10.10 (70) at Optus Stadium

Two narrow wins over Collingwood with very similar scorelines (the 2018 game included a goal after the siren to Jack Redden, while in 1994 Collingwood had the chance to win the game after the siren, but dropped the mark). Neither game played at Subiaco Oval.

1994 Preliminary Final

West Coast 16.21 (117) def. Melbourne 8.4 (52) at the WACA

2018 Preliminary Final

West Coast 18.13 (121) def. Melbourne 7.13 (55) at Optus Stadium

Two demolition jobs over Melbourne, with a one point difference in margin And neither game played at Subiaco Oval.

There was a 12 year gap between the 1994 and 2006 premierships. There is a 12 year gap between 2006 and 2018

Now excuse me, I have more tea leaves to read

[Ambrose Burnside]

I have another one. Three years prior to 1994 we lost the Grand Final to one of the all-time great Hawthorn sides at the end of their reign despite finishing higher than them on the ladder. Three years prior to 2018 we lost the Grand Final to one of the all-time great Hawthorn sides at the end of their reign despite finishing higher than them on the ladder!

Good luck Ambrose... Go Eagles

[Peppermint Lounge]

I like Nathan Buckley and want him to finally pop his premiership cherry. Carn Pies.

[guttermouth]

Looking like Eagles have forgot to turn up at GF day again.....

[guttermouth]

Ohhh...we have a heart beat

[guttermouth]

Now finishing them. ..
