Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Qualifying Final vs. Geelong, Sat 03/09, 4:35pm MCG

[Pragmatic Shill]

Adams for Macrae is the only logical change, but I'd back in Macrae for another go if Adams isn't right.

Our VFL boys play next weekend. Will be interesting to see who will get the week off and who won't.

 

[stormskye]

I still think we looked our best when we had Krueger in the side. If there’s any chance of him being fit this finals series, get him in

We’ve barely lost since his injury so not sure about that. I thought he was solid when he played and will atleast be handy depth if required

 

[TradeDraft]

I don’t like our chances against either mate, but somehow we are finding a way!

We Outplayed Geelong last time but ran out of Puff in last qtr.

Bet they be up to Fix that Results.

To win the Flag got to beat the Top Teams

For who though?

Surely you blokes are a huge chance to upset Geelong? Last 4 games they’ve had WC, GC, Saints, WB. Incredibly soft draw. Week off. Fresh list at Collingwood. You’ve got to be very confident.

I give us a Chance for sure but not Favorites

No not favourites but a huge chance. I can just see Collingwood having the majority of the crowd, the MCG which you love, and a genuine style that holds up.

There’s no way this isn’t a close game.

Pies win close ones.

Sounds strange as i feel like of the top four teams , i wanted us to have a crack at geelong in week 1 on the G.

Didnt want Swans at the SGG and the Dees vs Pies games have been a flip of the coin at the end.

Plus on top of that feel like Geelong will think they are shoe-ins desite us being 30 odd up against them last time and losing it.

Agree.

I was keen on getting Geelong round 1. I honestly can’t get excited about them. They just don’t perform in finals.

's comments after our loss on the whiteboard for the next two weeks. He said they knew our game plan was unsustainable. His arrogance is unsurpassed in the AFL. Imagine commenting on a fellow coach's game plan-especially a young bloke in only his third game in the gig. I thought at the time I'd love to see him choke on his words while never believing we would finish in a position to at least have the chance to make him eat his words. I think our season has already proven his observations inaccurate.

I want Henry in

Best we will be able to manage i he’s on the sub bench again

I got us favourites. 6 goals I reckon. Which is about 100pt win when you follow the pies

[Soaring Magpie]

What a terrible time slot, should be Friday night!!

 

[AmericanMustard]

Such a huge L. I’ll most likely have kicked myself into my own grand final that day

What a horrible time slot…

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Crazy, crazy timeslot. Channel 7 could not be happy with that.

Sure Adams come in, but more importantly can they rest Cameron for this one just in case his hammy is still sore?

 

[ThePhantom777]

Cats fans on main board already whining about the game being at the MCG.

They should be happy they get gifted free wins during the home and away

I have already seen them thanking Carlton for the bye, they really are keeping the lid on it

 

[jimmy35]

That suits me at that time but it is a seriously ****ed time slot for the biggest game of the year to this point.

 

[caloschwaby]

I've had a gig booked that night of the 3rd a few months out, so I was kicking myself I'd have to miss.
Thankfully the timeslot suits me perfectly to make it to both

 

[Aussie pie]

So the cats need to absolutely blow us away in the first half or they are going to be shitting themselves about our last quarter.
