Game Day Collingwood versus Port Adelaide, Adelaide Oval, 22 July 2023, 7.40pm

Port people believe Collingwood has not lived up to the standards befitting the colours and magpie logo and we'd like them back.

with all due respect, this is why port fans are insufferable

Nah he's not having a go.

Collingwood were black and white a decade before Port adopted it. IIRC they were magenta and blue with pink hat (true story).

They made the prison bars famous and are a great club with a great history.

In this league we're the Magpies, we were Magpies before they were even in their local comp so it's not up for debate.

I love that they wear their prison bars for their derby games, puts the fear in the Crows and good on em.

I was trying to banter.

I like Port; it’s all good.

 

[Pie eyed]

Pretty confident about this one

Hope I was as confident as you.
First game this year I have been apprehensive.

Port people have been out the back alley syphoning something out of a hose with their eyes closed.

 

[No SPIN]

It certainly did. This myth that Markov (in particular) or Noble are so much quicker or can offer so much more than Maynard is just that, a myth. He’s better 1v1 than both, is a better interceptor, and is himself pretty bloody quick. Howe, Maynard and IQ give you more than enough dash from defence if Markov or Noble should be omitted. They’ve all shown themselves to be very capable if given the opportunity. Add that if Frampton is playing KPD then Moore also has more freedom.

I’m a fan of Frampton but his inclusion, compromising speed ( despite your thoughts otherwise) is not an option, unless we face a very tall, (and likely slow) opposition.
So where countering height is a higher priority, than speed, then I can see your option being a realistic consideration.

 

[swoop42]

Not happening Molly. Our run from defence is our biggest weapon . No way we're adding an extra tall and weakening it. Particularly as we're dominating when balls are bombed to tall forwards. The need for Framptons height is an issue on paper and theoretical match ups. It isn't an issue on the field and whats been occurring on game day.

It must have been seen as a bit of an issue last season hence why we went out and drafted him. At the very least he was seen as depth for Murphy, Howe and Moore should any be unavailable.

Personally I don't think we're even in a position yet to make an unequivocal statement about Frampton either for or against given he's spent precious little time in the role we actually got him for.

One thing that often gets forgotten is that his contested work was seen as his weak point and he was viewed more as a tall intercepting defender.

The fact that he got above 21 disposals in 2 of his 6 games for Adelaide last year (averaged 18) probably speaks to this even if we have little evidence of it so far at Collingwood.

At the end of the day our games against Port, Brisbane and Geelong should provide us with all the information we need prior to finals.

Yep, it was an issue last year, but Murphy has improved a heap and we needed depth as well. I also think they've changed tack with how they use Moore.

I think it was “on the couch” where they put up a graphic showing us #1 in every defensive metric, I’m in the “if it ain’t broke” camp.

Was just settling into the defence when he got thrown into the ruck. Good to see he’s been named in the defence in the VFL side as I think that’s his longer term role.

God I can't stand the crowd singing inxs before every home game


Port supporters are absolute flogs

Well I’d like to apologise for setting our standards too high for Port people to accept. But you can’t have something back that never belonged to you in the first place

 

[MoreMoore]

no doubt they’re chasing him, but I suspect Hardwick will end up at the Gold Coast and Hinkley will be extended. Now if that’s the case and Richmond pick up Carr, that will send the port fans over the edge.

Ideally Scott to Suns , Hardwick to Port and Hinkley to Cats

Michael Hutchence choked doing what he loved. Port honour that sentiment

Our supporters have altered the traditional black and white dynamic concerning number of teeth and criminal convictions and you guys could get the old dynamic back. But some traditions are better off changed.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Looking forward to this, got the nervous energy going already!
See this as a big test for us and reckon the club has been waiting for a challahs like this for a few weeks.
Settle in and enjoy a few beers on the couch for Saturday night footy and watch how the lads handle it!

Maynard brought nothing but his Guernsey and Pain.

 

[unplugged]

Not nervous about playing them in the wet but it would be a shame if the conditions make it any lesser of a spectacle.

It's ruined that song for me. The chompers. God forbid they ever discover The Cure or The Beach Boys.

I'd never be the same.

 

[swoop42]

This game is already 1 v 2 but it's hard not to think that the wet ground isn't going to make this even closer to a 50/50 contest.

Do you still sing Metallica, or have you stopped copying us in that sense?

Looks good in a big game, should look good tonight in front of 50k.
Bring on the game, good finals practice for both sides.

 

[FireKrakouer]

If we f lose this one re... I'm gonna finance a billboard stating "Port are the original magpies" re... and I'm gonna build a shrine to crazy vossy in my garage re... that's it for me mate, I've had it!

(Rest in peace to the collingwood board GOAT. Pour one out for BringouttheGimp )
