Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 5 Gather Round - Pies v Saints Sun April 16th 4:50pm AEST (AO)

[LoungeLizard]

I can't help thinking that the pressure is now on Collingwood!

I hope so, and I hope the Saints players feel no pressure, will be a % booster if so.

I hope the Saints supporters realise this is our home away from home. Very good @ Adelaide oval the pies

You have never played a Ross Lyon coached side there though, he can make any ground tough to play on.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Who cares. This is gonna be the match of the round, l can't ****ing wait!!!

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

How many cups have Collingwood won in 33 years?
One.

Two in 33 years actually, 1990 & 2010

Considering we are not in September 2023 & this year's GF has not been held yet, the answer would still be 2 and besides your first comment was how many in 33 years.

31, 32 or 33 years, wtf does it matter.
It’s a long time for it’s supporters.

I don't know, you mentioned it . I've seen 2 in my lifetime, so I'm pretty happy. Expecting & hoping to see a couple more with Fly as the coach.

Nice
I’m expecting to see more with RTB as coach too.

 

[Saint12]

I think he is going to play on and off the bench and pinch hit in the forward line

Nothing surer his first kick will be a free

How is Ross Lyin working out for you?

 

[Capital Magpie]

Grundy is the best ruck in the competition and the key reason why Melbourne will win the 2023 flag!!

Got pantsed today by Draper

Even Roger Federer got beaten by a journeyman every once in a while

 

[Chinacats]

Saints have the youth, speed & defensive structures to handle Collingwood’ s relentless attaching ways. However on talent Collingwood edge it. Tough one to call…

 

[bird_man]

Tipping a close game, with the Pies pushing away from us late.

Our young forwards have been terrific for us so far, but we might just struggle to kick a winning score against quality opposition without our main guys back yet.

Excited to see how we go none the less

Pretty good so far, thanks for asking.

 

[PieLebo87]

De Goey a late out will hurt the Pies.

Has this been confirmed?

Has this been confirmed?

Not yet, so hopefully not true, but being reported by Mitch Cleary.

And if it's a stomach bug/flu type of thing, as some are suggesting, who knows who else will be affected. I recall how poorly we played last year when this happened And illness was the reason WHE was an out.

I think WHE will be the sub today. He has apparently flown over on a later flight.

 

[#23 Hill]

The only health issue Jordan DeGoey needs to worry about will be leather poisoning. 30 touches and four snags for the great man today.

He may be straight in if a few more are affected by this bug. And I can't imagine WHE's energy levels would be too high if he's just recovered either. I'm really fearful of this match now. I was nervous before hearing about this bug their legs will feel like concrete pylons on that ground.

Where has this "stomach bug" rumour come from other than your own game day thread? Sounds like Collingwood supporters are a little worried about the Saints and prepping the excuses
