------------------------------------------------------------------

MY THOUGHTS;

As long as the weather holds off, we should do the "business" here today and just dispose of Melbourne like all sides have been recently. The loss of both Sylvia and McDonald outweighs any losses we had, as they lack the depth, especially through the middle, that the pies possess.
Melbourne have started badly lately, so expect them to be fired up early, but in a similar vein to last week, the second and third terms should be where we "make our move" here.
Would be surprised if there were any late changes here, although rumours still persist about Jones' hamstring.
Collingwood has to be efficient once inside 50, because while we will get plenty of chances, turnovers, even inside your own attacking 50, hurt against quicker sides like Melbourne.

MY TIP;

Pies to prevail though, just through talent and perseverance, although in a closer game then what some may expect.

COLLINGWOOD BY 22 POINTS.

Well with the Soccer Finshed Now after the Socceroos looked Crap and Get Flogged, people can get back to the Real Footy Today at the G.

Think the Dees might be a Bit Tired coming into the Split Round. I expect them to come out Hard but Fall Away Badly.

Pies by 50pts

Reckon around the 75k area

Weather is looking the best it has in days, not much chance of rain, and the suns out.

The only chance the Dees have is if the weather closes in and it comes a "who wants it more" match.

The dryer the better for us.

 

[Invigoration]

Yay for me, two years in a row that I have exams on Queen's birthday.

Feels bad man

The Player we need to stop is Aaron Davey. He is the player that has Troubled us the Most in the Dees Side

That's where "Action" Jaxson Barham comes in.

Tell Jaxson to wear him like a glove, don't let him our of your sight, and to annoy the hell out of the bloke until he cracks like he did against the Scum 2 weeks ago.

With no Sylvia, no Pettard and no McDonald, Davey is the only player who can wreak havoc against us.

Stop him, and we win easily, don't stop him, and it could be close.

Not going today as i have a terrible cold, feel like shit. Usually quite enkoy the QB match, so i hate missing it.

Looks like a lovely day outside, hoping Barham has a ripper, will be interesting to see if his disposal has improved. I know it looks ok at VFL level, but the speed and pressure of AFL is a different game.

 

[collingwood1992]

Ill be going with a mate, just gonna turn up and scan memberships.

 

[HeavyPop]

I'm tipping us to win by 34. As Mattys said, Melbourne will look to start well after they way they have started recently.

 

[DaisysHair]

I think Bennell is coming in for Jones today, which makes them even younger and more unpredictable. In saying that, the last couple of weeks the Dees have looked tired, and need the break to freshen up after a couple of months of good footy. I'm expecting the Pies to punish them.

 

[Heater39]

Yay for me, two years in a row that I have exams on Queen's birthday.

Feels bad man

Uni exams are bs, I got cup day last year, no Queens Birthday thankfully. Oh for the days of school exams where they actually honoured public holidays.

 

[DoubleO7]

No Didak...

 

[Quicky]

Yep Didak out with a hip complaint. Dick comes in for us. How much of the VFL game did Dick play on Saturday?

 

[Ron]

Put some cash on Leroy for first goal paying $34

Go Leroy.

 

[PieLebo87]

Good to see plenty of tackling, a couple to Beams and Swan already.

 

[HeavyPop]

Watts' eyes just lit up then Miller took the mark haha

 

[sgnl00]

Great pressure, just can't put it on the scoreboard... typical.

 

[frantelle]

We should be up by 7goals by now

 

[Zahki]

Our inaccuracy is keeping them in the game, as always.

 

[Ant85]

12 scoring shots, and only 12 points in front.

Not good enough Pies.

 

[frantelle]

They have barely had it in their forward line yet, this would be the perfect time to play Shaw in the middle

 

[Prince_Rhodesia]

If this keeps up, we're gonna end up kicking 16.32.128. Why can't we convert the goals that we should? Absolute dominance, and we might just get the win.
