Fortunately, if the Weagles win tomorrow, neither the MCG nor the Collywobbles will hold any fears.

Nup no one saw that coming,the best team in the comp and supposedly unbeatable made to look second rate.
Any team on there day can win,if you’re not switched on from the get go your game can get away from you very quickly.
Can’t see any of the 3 teams left being an outright favourite for this years flag.

Congratulations Chris Mayne. Couldn't get a game last year but now possibly playing the best footy of his career and easily in Collingwoods top ten players tonight. He will be wrapped how it's worked out for him. Gets to play in another grand final while Fremantle are listing aimlessly.

Only hope for us Freo fans is Collingwood were shit last year and Richmond were shit in 2016 so while we've got a pulse I guess there is hope.

I think it was 1996 when the Eagles were going to Melbourne to play Essendon.I was working at Subi for the caterers ,part time.
I put my head into their rooms after they had finished training to wish them all the best.I had stuff thrown at me water thrown at me, told to fck off back to Fremantle. Copped a fair mouth full.Since that day , I would spit on them if they were on fire.And they copped a pretty fair wahck from Essendon in that game.

Yep, you told that one before. I thought at the time the story may have been a bit skewed to suit an Eagles hater. Any reason why I should change my thoughts?

I suspect some details have been withheld. I just cannot imagine the likes of Sumich, Matera, Worsfold, Jakovich, Waterman, Mainwaring, Hart or Cousins telling someone to go back to Fremantle.

What a mighty effort by this football club.
In a year where most expected them to stumble they play in yet another final series and get another chance to add to there flags,great effort.

Next week another tough ask and Hopefully they’ll be up to it.
Should be a great game(hopefully) and an all important fast start, Go Eagles.

Jackspratt as you posted re-last nights game,”well who saw that coming”

Two really disappointing Prelim Finals.Lets all hope it's going to be an incredible GrandFinal.These two teams have played the best final so far.

Whatever happens next week, I’d still love to sit down and have a beer with Robert Walls!!

I reckon my second paragraph above is more on the money, 30+.

The Wobblers winning was a genuine upset - the Weagles not so much, unless you are talking about the ease and the margin.

Bit spoiled up here in NE Thailand - get the telecast for free (on Australia +), and without any bloody ads during the actual play.

CAAAARN the Eagles!

(And Subi tomorrow of course, which I can also watch courtesy of 7 Plus).

Well done Eagles can't be anymore emphatic than that. A couple of worries early on even though playing well when McGovern and Shuey hobbled off but they both came back on and played well. I think WC are the best balanced side in the comp, they've got strengths all over the ground. I expect them to win well. It will be a major upset if Collingwood win for me.

I think they will win by two or three goals -- it will be hard because Collingwood have heart

Even the local rozzers have got into the spirit:
