Not our day. It never felt like we ever were really in the game. Collingwood next week.

The aerial view of the pitch invasion on Franklin's 1,000th goal is quite a sight !!

It was pretty insane, but then again he's only the 6th player in over a century so I guess it's a big occasion.

40-35 at halftime for Geelong after trailing from 39 minutes... What a dire messy half, jeez...

It looks like the Adelaide derby game yesterday was a cracker with a winning goal at the siren !

If you really feel like punching a "Pie", at least do it in their 50...not 15 meters from your own flippin' posts...

I didn't watch it. I just discovered that my tipping had unexpectedly gone awry at the last minute.

90-60 for Collingwood at Q3 (7 goals unanswered)

Cats now back at 90-78.

I am fuming and excited at the same time...

It's the hope that kills you...

90-84....

90-84....

This is what I've just seen and decided to turn the TV on!

90-90

this sport will be the early death of me...

You have to love a sport where the score can go from 53-90 to 91-90. 

And from when Collingwood has their biggest lead... they scored 1 point and Geelong scored 51. Impressive.

[Papy Oli]

I love this sport 

[Madiel]

They're saying that Geelong has only managed that big a final-quarter comeback 4 times in their entire history. Given they've been in the competition from the beginning in 1897, that's pretty darn memorable.

[Papy Oli]

Wow, that is quite a stat indeed...and here I was thinking it was a completely rubbish first half... 

[Papy Oli]

Another loss for Richmond against Saint Kilda... 10 unanswered goals, 64 consecutives point. Ouch. 

[Papy Oli]

Geelong - Brisbane 48-39 at HT. Nicely poised.

A real tit for tat goal scoring, a very good game to watch.

Some really good phases for the Cats.

[Madiel]

I better put it on (underneath Szymanowski for now). Shouldn't entirely miss the battle of the French Feline teams. 

EDIT: And currently 54-57 is another reason to tune in.

Well, it's going to be a heck of a last quarter. 

*makes cup of tea*

[Papy Oli]

62-63 QT3 

[Papy Oli]

That will do very nicely, thank you 

[Madiel]

That will do very nicely, thank you 

*checks tips*

Aargh. No it won't. And I agonised over this match.
