AFL Grand Final 2011 - Collingwood Magpies vs Geelong Cats (Part 1)

[didgeta]

"Too old, too slow, too bloody good!" Was used for hawthorn in the late 80's... That was a team that was too old, this geelong side is still quite young. Sure they have Ling, Scarlett etc but they still have Menzel, Christiansen etc... It might sound like I hate geelong but I actually like them, I have had a geelong membership for 3 years although hawthorn is my number 1 team

[unicyclewsu]

they should just sing waltzing matilda, it would be so fun to be there in the stands if they did

[piffmonger]

ha. australia has one shit national anthem.

but they do have the greatest sport on the planet.

bring a game back to BC Place, we'll break the rcord again for highest attended match outside of Australia.

[Bamboomonkey24]

@piffmonger omg, take that back. the anthem is gorgeous - and i'm saying that as a non-aussie! do agree about the second part though, afl kicks arse!

[piffmonger]

@Bamboomonkey24 sorry, but in my opinion there are only two anthems that should be allowed to be playd at events. those are Canada's and USA.

[Bamboomonkey24]

@piffmonger so you know all the 200+ national anthems to be making such a statement i assume? if not, then that's a really ignorant statement. also, it would be kind of silly to play the national anthem of canada during afl games in... AUSTRALIA, don't you reckon? exactly.

[pbawesome1312]

@piffmonger The national anthem of the USSR dominates. And I'm an Australian.

[LokiCocola]

@piffmonger yeah our anthem sucks

[MichaelxoJackson]

I will always be a Geelong girl, they are simply amazing and such amazing guys as well who are so dedicated to their fans, I can not speak highly enough or every single person from that club because they get to know their fans and actually remember the ones that go to most of their training sessions names, not only that but they also humble and caring even though they are great footballers, unlike some collingwood players xx

From a New Orleans Saint, even though the St. Kilda Saints weren't in it, I thank you for uploading and congrats to the Cats.

A marvelous 5 years for the AFL.

[frankovich213]

@jasonolds442 That spins me out than an American is even watching. Props to you bro.

[jasonolds442]

@frankovich213 Believe it or not, in the early years of ESPN in the USA, all they showed was the VFL and auto racing as it was the only sports they could afford. I watched the Carlton Blues when they were winning all the time in the early 80s. I'm happy to see it's a lot easier to see Aussie Rules again.

[frankovich213]

@jasonolds442 Wow. That's awesome. I had no idea. I actually wish they showed more American sports here, we get NFL, NBA, MLB and NASCAR on free to air tv, but as of yet no Hockey. I play hockey here and I just know if they put a few games on and people saw it they would be like "This is crazy!"

About all I can do is download the stanley cup game, just waiting for New Jersey or the Capitals to get in to the finals. New Jersey's my favourite team but I love Ovechkin! He is god on ice! lol

[Bamboomonkey24]

@jasonolds442 no worries :) i'm a lions girl, but still really enjoyed watching the GF, so thought i'd upload it.

[thelastone021]

[Bamboomonkey24]

@thelastone021 i downloaded it from aussiett d o t c o m - it's one of those torrent download sites. :)

[Bamboomonkey24]

@Chrissiieeee i love when people search videos on youtube they're not actually interested in. shows how fulfilled their lives must be :)

[DuhAsainGuy]

[PoeticSedition]

thanks for posting this. i live in taiwan and had to work last saturday. much appreciated.

[Bamboomonkey24]

@PoeticSedition no worries!

[mr1000rx]

COLLINGWOOD ARE ALWAYS WINNERS!

[frankovich213]

@mr1000rx You couldn't beat us even with our Full Forward sitting on the bench for 3 quarters.This was our coach's FIRST season. How long has Mickey Mouse been doing it for now?

We lost Ablett and Bomber Thompson, we've got an aging player list, a first year coach and then in the Granny we lose J-pods. Oh yeah and we just chose to leave out Milburn and Mooney.

The only way the Cats could have made it easier for Collingwood would be if they didn't show up.

Sorry, you guys were given every chance.

[rkovision]

@frankovich213 brilliantly said

[A380busboy]

Yep. All 11 thanks.

[chewfrontta]

The Mighty Cats! Suck on that Collingwood.

[mr1000rx]

@chewfrontta COLLINGWOOD ARE ALWAYS WINNERS. You are just jealous.

[ElliottsFather]

@mr1000rx Jealous of what? Not winning 12 Grand Finals since 1958?

[mr1000rx]

@ElliottsFather And I am betting your lousy team hasn't been in the top 8 for as many times either.

[A380busboy]

Thanks so my for posting this. I missed the game and really enjoyed watching it. Cheers.

[aal8051]

@A380busboy have you seen all the parts

[Bamboomonkey24]

@A380busboy no worries!
