Tough game to pick

 

[JackoSpades]

If we want to rise, we need to win this.
Go Pies!

Collingwood home game at Etihad against a team who's home ground is Etihad?

Why?

Should be a good match but really would be better at the MCG

Still need to fill that quota I guess for Ethiad games a year.

Pies Midfield vs Saints Forward line.
No Jack Steven for Saints and Jamie Elliot back in for Pies.
Pies by 12 points.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Howe in the back pocket, Elliott in the forward pocket. Fingers crossed we see some hangers!

 

[robbos13]

toss of the coin.

if we play like we have our first 3 weeks but kick accurately we should run away with it. if we dont we will pay the price

 

[NathanMX]

Evergreen Nick to put on another show, and good luck stopping that. Bruce and Membrey to pick up the scraps and Gresham to kick a goal of the year contender.

Pie midfield clearly better but can they and Darcy Moore alone kick enough goals? Fasolo and White wont pop up every week and can the Pies really afford to send Ben Reid up forward with our potent forward line? Heck if they try that we should put Roo in the goal square and watch him go to school on whichever Pies defender has picked the short straw and gets to defend him I am sure Schade will be up for it

 

[Speck]

Interesting to see how two teams that have been hot and cold all year play this out. Both teams need this game for confidence.

If both teams turn out it'll be a ripper.

My heart wants St Kilda
My tips say Collingwood

pies midfield is way to classy if we can break even we win out back line and fwd is above theres imo

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Any reason this or the other game isn't at night?

Was it Ess vs Carl that had much lower crowd because of Sunday Night? I know its Easter but it's a family day.

I am going with Collingwood by 13 points.

Tomorrow is a public holiday. It's Saturday night 2.0.

Agree with this. Their ruck & midfield has a lot of teams covered but your forward and back lines are stronger. Going to be interesting to see if your mids can step up. If they can you'll win but if they can't it could be a very long day.

Pies by 27 but would gladly be proven wrong

Collingwood home game at Etihad against a team who's home ground is Etihad?
Why?

Contractual requirement, Etihad needs to host 3 Collingwood games per year, regardless of home team. Collingwood has hosted home games against St Kilda/North Melbourne/Bulldogs for years.

I've gone the exact opposite.

We're usually garbage at Etihad.

How this is considered our home game is beyond me. 100% should be at the MCG - especially after travelling last week. Team A playing a home game against team B at team B's home ground is a great example of why our game is so ****ing amateur.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Should be a good game. Saints by 20 odd tho

 

[welshm69]

Wonder who'll be the late change for Collingwood. Always someone when we play Etihad...

 

[#gosaintas]

This should have been at the G

I think it's to your advantage it is at Etihad.

Pies Midfield vs Saints Forward line.

A forward line that unfortunately has not been kicking straight this season. Have a feeling this will cost us again today.
