Pies will be well rested and up and about on their home deck. Hard to see them losing to anyone.

Very intriguing to see how Collingwood start this game.
They are known as the comeback King's but if you give this GWS a 4 or 5 goal head start, they have so much firepower and footy nous to hold on to those leads.
Collingwood know this and will try and gain the ascendancy very early on.

Crazy if you don’t think they aren’t licking their lips for a Pies Blues GF
One of the prelims is normally close and its likely to be this one.
Lost the 2019 prelim to them obviously and in 2018 only beat them by 10 points in the semi.
They have momentum, the ground and crowd will hold no fears.
Anyone that says either side will smash the other is just hoping/guessing.

Your negative posting is turning off neutrals loving the orange! Maybe embrace the love a bit.

Green and Greene with a dash of Conigliop and Kelly and a sprinkle of Whifield - what a recipe!
Don't forget Briggs. He's about to reach Gawn level domination.

If that's the case, those neutrals must be a bit insipid to start with if so easily upset.

Going to be harder to score for GWS in this match. Not going against a D list defence this time. I wonder where their goals will come from.

This crowd will be similar to the Richmond vs GWS 2017 PF potentially, in terms of size and onesidedness. It's a completely different beast to any other crowd and any club would find that daunting.

We literally beat them in the same type of crowd in the 2019 PF.
With a rubbish game plan and all heart.
We may be a small club but we are used to hostile crowds.

Reading this thread - we might as well not even show up. Apparently GWS have it in the bag?

Don’t worry about them. A lot of neutrals (particularly on this forum) are Collingwood haters in disguise. I wouldn’t worry much about what they say.

Is the week off as important as it was before the pre finals bye. Had a negative effect on Port and the Lions in '22. Too many breaks and you lose momentum

Don’t share the confidence of some on here. This wil be a hard fought game of footy, that will probably come down to the wire.
As a one eyed giants supporter I have to say that the giants will get up but I don’t think the margin will be more than a goal.

Yeh fair point. Hope you do again!
I dont think an extra 10-15 thousand people more than the 2019 prelim will bother them.
They just pasted port in front of a very hostile crowd. Not 90k but very loud and feral.
So many finals ive watched us win/lose as hot faves or massive underdogs. 18-19 prelims the perfect example.
Very little if anything between the last 4 sides remaining.

Also took care of a hostile 70k Saints.
Crowd won’t bother the boys.
We lose it’ll be all because of what happens on field.

He might actually be serious lol
Read where the collingwood fan squad went up to giants land and outnumbered your mob.
