Game Day AFL Round 17 - Matchday Discussion West Coast@Collingwood(MCG – 1:10PM)

[Hardas]

I think if we finish the match with a higher score than the other team then we're a chance of winning

... have to agree.

 

[unplugged]

Win and we're equal first? But don't worry, it won't count. We still won't have beaten anyone, and would've lost to them away.

 

[iGNITER]

Spot on.
I am actually happy Kennedy, Darling and all those other best 22 are playing for them tomorrow.
Truth is we are likely missing 7-8 of our best 22 players tomorrow but a win will prove enough for mine.

 

[BLS World Wide]

Don’t care about darling. If our mids do their part should be a non factor. On the other side of the coin though feel like our I50 need to be on point to stop McGovern having a field day

 

[Jafo]

If I had 1 and a half brains? i'd be a superhuman

And this is why you are a Norm Smith Medalist. Mike drop!

Richmond still on top no matter who wins

As long as none of them pull a Huddo being choppered in from Tassie at vfl Park job then we’ll be ok.

 

[Somebody]

We’ll win.

And nicely

And still we’ll have beaten nobody above us.

which will give us only one more chance to do that...

 

[Somebody]

As long as the extra brain is properly interfaced with your existing 1/2 brain.... otherwise would create confusion and muddled thinking.

 

[Somebody]

Agree, don’t think we’re undermanned back there, in fact the flexible mix of talls ( Moore, Scharenberg, Langdon and Howe) and smalls (Crisp, Maynard, Greenwood, Varcoe) is one of our strongest assets.

I think the biggest danger is the resting ruckman, Lycett, who could expose Langdon for height, however you back in the team defence to provide coverage.

Even if we do get exposed, most of the contenders (Richmond, Port, Sydney) play with mobile forward lines with at max 2 key talls. We’ll learn our lesson and bank it for September.

In saying that I’m confident we’ll out do them in the middle and win well. Can’t wait for the 5am kickoff (the perils of being in sunny Sicily)

Moore, Scharenberg, Langdon and Howe are talls??
I"m in philly so kickoff at 11.10 pm not too bad.

 

[Somebody]

those were the days! Now the govt prob wouldn't allow it even if AFL did.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Mate imagine how brilliant you would be if you had another half a brain.

RightO, who left the gate open?!?

 

[Matt_352]

Come on Pies. We got this.

 

[ottoman]

Nervous.
Really pucking nervous.
Our critics keep saying "we haven't beaten anyone yet"
The truth is when you look at the ladder and the teams we have beaten and lost and be a bit impartial, then you have to admit they have an argument.
We are now entering the challenging part of our fixture.
Are we contenders or are we pretenders.
I'm nervous.
I want to believe, but I am not allowing myself to believe.
Really nervous.

When we beat Adelaide and Melbourne they were both above us on the ladder, in the 8 and clear favourites so the argument we "haven't beaten anyone" does not apply for those 2 games at least

Don't talk rationally with me tickle.
When it come to Collingwood ration goes out the window for me.
I'm nervous.
And I won't lie.
If we win I will be thinking that we beat a side who can't win on the G instead of thinking we have just won 8 in a row.
8!!! That's huge.
But I will continue to be nervous.
Years of watching us lose grand finals has made me very wary.
I'm nervous.

Be calm Ottoman - accept your fate - nervousness and irrationality are part of the Cwood supporters' DNA

 

[jmac70]

I’m not nervous at all.

 

[ottoman]

I’m not nervous at all.

yes you are

 

[Vicky Park]

I’m not nervous at all.

Nor me. I feel calm. Strange, as I usually wake up feeling anxious on game day. In fact I have the same feeling I had before we beat Adelaide. I like this feeling.

You know I love you VP.
You're a legend.
But the truth is that both you and jmac need to be slapped really hard for thinking this is not a game worth worrying aboutç

Sunday morning hugs beautiful.

Stay serene Otto. Smile at those around you. The Pies are working for us, the stars are aligning, there is peace on earth...

Maybe revisit at 4.00 today?

 

[jimmy35]

Top spot beckons boys, pump these Weags by 80 odd and it’s ours!

 

[jimmy35]

I noticed WC are desperate so brought in 3 underdone players coming of injury. They are worried.

And we only brought in 1. Woohoo!
