The Finals thread:

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

The problem with all the nostalgia folk wanting a 3pm kick off afternoon grand final to come back is that the Oct long weekend game is now 2 weeks closer to summer than the mid September grand finals, plus it is daylight saving.

In other words, it won't be 3pm mid September like it used to be. It will be 2pm and in October. Even sitting on the eastern side of Homebush will be like a day at the cricket test. The footy on the field, like footy in Feb and March, will be rubbish.

I would only support the change if the grand final is held mid Sept.

How do we end up with Blockhead and Gronk as co-commentators. Where’s bloody Brandy!

 

[Buddy Love]

Oft cat 1 that's massive

 

[Buddy Love]

Damn they're just too good. Split them left right and center.

The amount of quality shape they throw at you is ridiculous. It's relentless and its effective !

 

[HK_Eagle]

Brilliant.

 

[bob dylan]

They are smashing the Broncos early.

 

[Brookie1973]

Sounds like Voss is on the panthers

 

[HK_Eagle]

Nothing would be better than see these donkeys get belted in front of their two-headed gimp fans… a few dubious calls against them, just to rub salt in the wound would be nice.

Donkeys were strong in the first couple of defensive sets, but pennies finding their groove and coming over the top

 

[HK_Eagle]

And thank f*#k we don’t have Klown Klein blowing $hit out of the whistle.

 

[Brookie1973]

Gee determined to “let it flow” suits the panthers ruck slowing to a tee.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Donkeys are full on playing for penalties. They need to play the game and forget milking.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Bad luck, finger nails.

Not how I saw it - heaps of easy ground and always on the back foot.
