Should be a cracker, and even more-so if your guys are able to be completely fresh after what will surely have been a taxing game last night.
Can't see the Pies making a genuine go of it, but am happy to be proven wrong. The finals experience however will have been invaluable to your young team
What a mighty win by the Pies against the Eagles. It's going to be another huge challenge for the Pies against the Cats on Friday Night. This is the match that the footy purist's have been waiting for. Two of the great Victorian Club's going head-to-head in a Prelim Final at the MCG. It doesn't get any bigger than that. This will be the biggest Prelim Final since the 1999 Essendon Vs Carlton Prelim final. Nobody gave the Blues a chance in that match, so i wouldn't be writing off the Pies. At our best we are capable of beating any team including Geelong. We have won our last 2 Prelim Finals and Geelong has lost their last 2 Prelim Finals, and we played in the Finals last year so we are a lot more seasoned this time around. Geelong has a huge advantage with the extra weeks break, but at least the Pies are going into the match with great form having won 2 high pressure matches against quality opposition. And although Geelong was very impressive winning against the Kangas, there wasn't much pressure in that match. I know Geelong beat us easily by 17 Points the last time, but we were missing a lot of key players on that occasion, and this time around we have Buckley, Clement, and Rusling back in the side. Both teams will be at full strength for this match, so it will be interesting to see how both teams measure up on the big stage. It should be a great game to watch. Go the PIES!!!
what a great game, who ever won this game is going to win the flag. Cats got over the line in the end but i think thats a fair enough result for collingwood, holds us well for next season and lets face it if we beat the cats tonight you guys woulda just been laughed at really. Cats were a mile ahead of everyone all season and almost lost it in the end. Bad luck pies, well done cats and cats to win next week. How much of an influence did ottens have tonight? Pies really need a good ruckman, frazer may have made the difference tonight. Cats winners on 07
