Would've thought Saints/GWS on the Thursday at Marvel (our Home) under the roof and Dees/Coll at the G on Saturday arvo (should be a sunny day by then) would've been the best fixture

But attend enough games to help keep Melbourne in the comp.Massive advantage to Collingwood given their fans attend neither work nor school...
well he can bask and crash but he's slow and has deplorable skills and decision making.Grundy may not fit the team structure but he is no spud

Footy is a funny thing. As I can't possibly see the pies winning. I think dees by 30.Should be a good game for a while, but the Pies will be too good and win by 30 points.
Okay I've just had a chat with the team and happy to report we're swapping the games around, turn up Friday and everything will be waiting for you.A Carlton supporter gifted with an unearned slot on a Friday Night, because the AFL love the Blues. If you are OK with opening the season on a Thursday night vs Richmond why not do the same against the Swans in the Finals?
And Melksham too. The two guys you had in your forward line that love a contest.I still think the loss of Petty is going to come back to bite us. He's a hell of a player and his injury really changes our entire structure. I think the pies might get this one.
But last time Pies had Daicos who is missing, and is Moore confirmed to be back?
Because Moore and Daicos out are massive. Dees might be missing Fritsch from their line up and he scored 3 against the Pies.
How could you honestly look at the last game and say 'Dees won by 4 points' and leave that as your final analysis of the game? We kicked 8 goals, 18 behinds in one of the worst set shot kicking displays in 15 years with simple miss after simple miss after simple miss. We smashed you all over the park and embarrassed your midfield. So don't give me this '4 points' nonsense. Even your own fans acknowledge that the 4 points wasn't a reflection of the domination.Pies have beaten the Dees 7 of the last 9 times. The two Dees wins were by 4 points this year (Elliott, De Goey and Sidebottom missing) and at the Gabba. Just can't see the Dees getting near the Pies.
Nick Daicos is far and away your best player and he’s been ruled out already right?We have all of our players back now not like on KB.

Now I think the pies will win due to the loss of Petty and now Melksham. And even Oliver not returning to his best since his long lay off from injury.
What a completely useless statistic.Pies have beaten the Dees 7 of the last 9 times.
And how about the ones on the full or shots at goal that fell short. Dude, you're really going to look at stats to decide how a game went? Watch the game, not the stats screen. Look, I'm a very negative supporter, I'd be the first one to say that my club is playing like trash. But on that day, we demolished Collingwood. Composed guys like Daicos, Pendlebury and Moore etc. turned to water under the pressure.Kicked 14 behinds actually as 4 of those were rushed behinds.
Only stat Melbourne dominated in that match were behinds kicked. Even though it looked like Melbourne dominated throughout, if you check the stats (I’d recommend Footywire), it was a lot closer than meets the eye with Collingwood actually winning a lot of the stats.

Stats don't say anything. If you mention any stat, I can debunk it or explain it away. Why mention Ginnivan? He's barely even best 22. In fact he's often the chosen sub or not even in the team. But I agree, Collingwood have some good players returning. But you're not balancing your argument with the counters. No mention of Fritsch returning for us? No mention of one of the best players in the game in Clayton Oliver returning? Oliver is better than half of those players combined.I watched the game, but it has completely left my memory that I don’t remember any out of the full or scores falling short etc etc.
Stats are very important. They show that there is not much difference between the teams which were reflected by the end result. However, Collingwood had way less scoring shots which is an area that they need to fix.
As for Daicos, I’ve consistently said him being out won’t make a difference. Melbourne controlled him so well last time that it probably wouldn’t make a difference if he plays. Will now have a bigger problem with De Goey, Sidebottom, Howe, Ginnivan, McStay,Elliott etc all returning since the last match.
