The other games - The Semi Finals

The right result for us.

Brisbane are riding an emotional train, Cameron would’ve been a potential non-starter, they are September virgins.

GWS ... now this is an interesting club. A sprinkling of pure class, a tight defence, an elite key forward.

Let’s not forget there’ll only be one decent key forward on the park in the Collingwood game - Jeremy Cameron.

Two if Himmelburg comes to play.

Giants are a huge show next week. I go to sleep pretty happy with the day’s footy.

Agree Baron.

Also don't forget Finlayson as well. Not a star but capable of kicking 3 on his day.

3 tall forwards who will demand respect and therefore wont allow Howe to come in and intercept at will.

Phil Davis should blanket Mihocek as the Pies only tall forward.

I would use Tomlinson to tag Grundy - has the size and more importantly the tank to go with him.

De boer to tag SIdebottom.

And don't forget that they smashed the Pies the last time they played them as well.
 
He just thinks pure numbers will win you a game of footy,

Pure numbers do win games, the numbers on the score board.

But seriously, Fagan does have a point, Brisbane keep winning a lot of important stats and losing games. On the outside at press conferences he would be saying they could have won - that's spin. On the inside I'm sure they're analysing how to turn those stats into the only number that matters: the scoreboard.

Feel a bit sorry for the Lions in some way as they are a young team and tried their hearts out.

On the other hand somewhat glad the Giants won as imho they are the most likely to beat the Mudpies.

Hope so anyway, as I don't think I could stand the Mudpies playing in the GF again.
 
The footage of Greene is just as inconclusive as it was last week. Giants can't win without him, can see this ending up in court if the suspension isn't overturned on appeal.

So a fine last week for “serious misconduct”, and now a week suspension for “unnecessary contact to the face”
FFS, the AFL just make **** up as they go along, but not really surprised...
I think it was more to do with the smirk he gave on TV when he was asked whether he would continue playing on the edge after his $7000 fine last week. But the MRP isn't allowed to say that.
 
I think it was Christian who thought the AFL would ask for a suspension last week but didn't so this week thought "stuff it", I'll give him a week.

Gestapo Gill: "anything to help my beloved Collingwood through to the GF"
 
Gill is torn
Does he help his beloved GWS
Or does he help his boss Eddie McQuire
:mhihi
What's that 70's song again?

Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
 
Thats not worth a week.
Christian is atrocious at picking who to suspend and who to clear.
Is he walking around with a Labrador these days??
 
the Greene 'suspension' is a knee jerk reaction to the failure last week. MRP = More Ridiculous Penalties.
 
Will get off on appeal surely. AFL stuffed up last week which was much worse. So if he didn’t get suspended then how can he get suspended now? Giants have a great case here unlike Hawkins who is no chance to get off.
