Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 11 - 15

[tarczonandjane]

I just think we all need to acknowledge Collingwood are a top four side. I didn’t watch this game. But get their injured players back, and they’re right up there. It’s Sydney, Collingwood and us for top four.

Last position is a raffle. I’d probably have said GWS, but didn’t expect them to lose points to Hawthorn. I don’t think Port are top four. I’m of the same view (though a little less certain) re Geelong. If Freo didn’t have to play away from home it might be them.

Should Collingwood sneak into the top 4 and regain some much needed talented players, they'll firm as strong contenders for back to back flags. They are resilient, somehow just get it done.

No, no we don’t. They were lucky to win the flag last year. I’m telling you, Brisbane were robbed.

Not sure - but these days it doesn’t seem to matter.

Halfway through the season collingwood have only beat 2 top 8 teams…one was us (with our injury list at its peak) and the other port (at the g)

Yes very good point !

 

[RPCB]

BT calling the win already

anyone else he would be like THERES STILL ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM TO COME BACK!!

For our International viewers who might think we have a weird rule that 26 points are awarded for goals kicked in the last 5 minutes of games.

 

[Benaly28]

Collingwood being slept on a bit...don't hear bout them that much but they are right up there as premiership contenders unfortunately.

They'll be on 32 points and only 1 game behind us despite a 0-3 start and a stack of injuries.

During their horrid injury run so far they've only lost 1 game and have had 2 draws...won the others.

Injury list includes De Goey, Mitchell, Mihochek, Mcstay, Cox, Elliott, Pendlebury and until tonight Hoskin-Elliott. Lost Nathan Murphy

permanently too.

Have North and the bye coming up.

No one is sleeping on the pies we all know they are very capable we just hate them,they seem to play teams at the right time too.

Of the players you mentioned above 4 are top 23 locks the rest are depth not including Murphy/Mcstay.

Very similar injury list to us.

Their run home is interesting & quite challenging

 

[tarczonandjane]

I made no comment on last year, Surrey. Though if you want to extrapolate, go for it. As long as the injured players come back, they will be top four this year. They have resilience, they have a game plan which works and belief in it, and they have a winning culture. We might not like it, but they will be up and about.

A Carlton v Collingwood Prelim or GF would be fantastic to see.

No thanks.

Wouldn’t sleep for the whole week would probably need to see a cardiologist hourly

Yeah
Blues/Cats order may depend on the result of our game.

Sorry - I thought you would read the sarcasm.

 

[NYCFC]

For what it’s worth my crystal ball is telling me we finish 2nd or 3rd, beat the filth in week one, sending them up to the SCG for a Prelim, which they lose.

We beat whoever finished 4th in the Prelim to set up a classic GF that’s won by less than a kick.

 

[tarczonandjane]

Sorry - I thought you would read the sarcasm.

Sorry Surrey,

I will try to blame jet lag (I’m in the US this week), though I could probably better pass it off as incompetence!

 

[RPCB]

My top 4-
Swans
Blues
Cats
Dockers

I would take that, but a preference for Freo. That way the umpiring won’t be skewed towards favouring the AFL darling Geelong.

Not fair - we've won more games!

No thanks, I've seen enough of them, even though they haven't beaten us in the Big One for over 100 years!!!!

The build up would be something not seen ever before, especially in these days of the Hollywood Fanfare, my heart wouldn't be able to take it......
