Probably the best outcome for us.

Top 4 would have been great, but travelling to Brisbane again would not be nice. I think the Dogs are the weakest team in finals. Last weeks draw has seen us avoid Geelong and North too.

Was feeling pretty good about this side until the last two weeks. We should be good enough to beat the Dogs, but a trip to Adelaide or a game against the Dees awaits.

Lions are the clear number 1 team and they'll be very hard to beat, especially if they're hosting all their finals.

The Bulldogs have been inconsistent this season - Ellie Blackburn just got them over the line in their last game - so it depend on which Bulldogs team turns up. And our injuries, hopefully Ruby and Chloe are right to play.

"As has been Collingwood's strength for several seasons, a disciplined, reliable defensive line will be its best asset heading into a fourth consecutive finals series. This season, despite needing to sacrifice dynamic rebounders Jordyn Allen and Ruby Schleicher to roles in the midfield and on the wing at times, the Pies are conceding just 24.4 points per game - the fewest in club history."

Half time Pies leading by 15 points, 3.7 to 1.4.

Dominating the play and should be further in front.
Need to make the most of forward entries. If the Dogs get a sniff they will run over the top.

I managed to miss the final quarter lol.

Got back in as the siren went and saw 5 point victory, sheesh.

Got the win. A win in the finals. Adelaide over there will be tough. If we manage to get passed them, its off to Brisbane. :shock:

Eliza James becoming my fave player. Can actually kick straight and doesnt just try to roost it every time. Smart with the footy too.
