Game Day Collingwood vs West Coast Eagles, Etihad Stadium, 18/7/15, 4.35pm

[leroyeagle]

In recent years most of their wins over us have been very narrow and somewhat umpire assisted.

Lol & I'm sure the umps will continue to assist the magpies again this Saturday, some things never change!

 

[MIKE85]

I'm gunna stick with what I always do, tip against us, and hope like hell we win!!

I actually reckon we'll lose though, just seems like one of those teams that cut us up, and on a ground like Etihad, their smalls might worry us more than they would at the G. I can see Eliiot & Williams having an influence, and the usual Swan / Pendles dominance. At least Daisy and Harry aren't there anymore to put in their 1 good game for the season, against us!!!

Pies by 20

 

[twce13]

Broadbent had a Field day last week as the loose on def.

Suggests gov could also, however the downside is that with the wild kicking i50 a highlight last week and attention on gov this year it will surely be a focus point not to wildly bomb i50 for pies. Gotta put the pressure in he midfield to reep the rewards everywhere else I guess.

Eddie sounds very nervous. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-07-16/mcguire-wont-speculate-on-buckleys-coaching-future

 

[MKMatty]

I'm backing us for the win. We haven't technically played "shit" since the Derby.

The North loss was due to us failing to adapt to appalling conditions. I think we'll actually rick roll Collingwood, surprising as that may sound.

Here's why - http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh

It was right there and I didn't see it. Disappointed in myself for falling for that one.

Potentially no Elliott?

Factoring the 4-5 goals NicNat is worth to us being cancelled out by the maggots.

...Eagles to blow the roof off our bandwagon and make little docker freckles dilate.

Whispers on the Pies board reckon it's a certainty he won't play.

One poster who has a good record is saying he will not line up , also said around 5pm EST he will know more.

Grain of salt to be honest, but puts the odds in our favour if true.

True.

You mean an hour before teams are announced?

He doesn't miss with his 'predictions' so take it as read Elliott is out. The 5pm reference is to do with total changes to the team.

Not really, Elliott has been a passenger in the last three weeks.
Obviously he can cause concerns but he's a long way from being dangerous atm.

Yes really, he's a dangerous player down on form. Only takes one game to turn it around.

 

[Avalor]

I don't remember a time when the tipsters last picked us against the pies. Seems the bandwagon is steadily rolling on.

 

[Biggie]

Agree with Bender...um Marauder.....

Jamie would/will give us headaches.

I'd be happier to see him out if the 22

 

[ep2018]

Elliot is the sort of player who carves us up, they'd be nuts to drop him.

 

[Pottering]

We should just play no one on White so they always kick to him.
If he actually manages to mark the ball, he will still only get 1 goal 5 behinds and 5 out on the full.

White's an OK shot on goal early, it's when the pressure's on late in a game that he misses gimmes.

 

[kane249]

After not celebrating post goal with his team mates last week, he might be missing training because he doesn't even want to join in with them for that now as well

 

[Happy Mastenator]

They are going to struggle to find avenues to goal if Elliot is out. Might see a fair bit of Swan up forward if that's the case.

 

[Turboman1994]

There forwards might not be much chop with Elliott out but I wouldn't write off there midfields ability foward of centre just yet. swan, crisp, pendles, varcoe, sidebum and de goey have shown they can hit the score board.

 

[ep2018]

If we have an opportunity to win we better take it. I'm sick of the past two losses in Melbourne where we lefts the door open and they came back and won the game. Yes the game where Yeo lost his front teeth and Collingwood's defence was on one leg, I'm looking at you.

Such a frustrating game
