Next Monday, what a game we have!

[SouthSwans]

Melbourne vs. Collingwood at the MCG

My initial thoughts lean toward the Dees, but the shaky defence may be unable to contain the powerhouse forward line. If Presty can blanket Neitz the Pies will be set but IMO, Dees in a close one.

 

[natlovestheswans]

I think Collingwood will win.

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

I think Melbourne will win.

and i'm not biased. Should be a cracker.

 

[toorakbum]

Our next two matches will show where we're at. Beating pretenders is getting tiresome.

.. and i'm definately not biased seeing i dislike both teams.

Melbourne will become pretenders by next Monday night.

 

[Wizard]

How many do you guys reckon will turn out for the big game, im thinking 85-86,000.

My point exactly.

Nah, more like 65,000 - 70,000 tops

 

[chapmanmagic35]

It will be a cracker...

Queens Birthday 2006 - Huge

Probably the all-victorian match of the year.

2 teams in great form, both will be pushing for top 4 spots this year (hopefully) and both had solid yet unspectacular wins on the weekend, im guessing a crowd of 80,000 +, go dees

Should be brilliant! GAME ON!!!

 

[Coin_Toss]

Pies will continue their winning ways.

Crowd Expectation: 68k

No chance. Demons supporters only go to one game every year, Queens B'day

80,000

 

[jonesy86]

the dangers for the pies are yze and davey as i think clement owns robertson and presti will do well on neitz

hopefully shaw and lockyer can keep their great form up and shut them down, clement might go to yze which means presti might get robbo and wakes to get neitz

 

[Palmer Stoat]

Nah, more like 65,000 - 70,000 tops

Provided it's decent weather, I reckon they'll get 70,000-plus.

Presti on Robbo would not be very smart. Robbo would be too quick and mobile for him. Sure, if we bombed it long Presti would beat him, but if we just kick it out in front of Robbo he should mark it 9/10 times. Presti on Neitz is a given.

 

[tête de chatte]

Whilst the Dees will definately see Sept action, they are no match for Collingwood, who with Adelaide and WC are the 3 standouts.
Will not be a percantage booster, just comfortable. I fear for the Saints when we meet Collingwood in early July, especially on current form.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Collingwood in a beauty.

 

[ollie73]

I can't honestly remember Neitz doing anything against the Pies on QB. Pies will win - lock it in Eddie!!

 

[Ricardo]

Public Holiday, two in form teams, the high drawing Collingwood v Melbourne, MCC should be full..

Anything below 80k would be disappointing, should be interesting to see the MCC's predicted crowd number, i heard they predicted around 60k to the Coll v Brisb game, around 50k (lol) for the Coll v Geel match and around 65k for the Coll v Foots match.

 

[Major Colvin]

- and collingwood will dominate - neits will struglle on presti and melbourne dont have someone for tarrant

Very one-eyed aren't you? No surprises there

Tarrant? He is a front-runner....oh yeah and we've got this bloke called Carroll...yeah he's been towelling up all his opponents lately.

We don't rely on Neitz either, he had no impact last year and we flogged you.

This will be close game though

tarrant adds a lot to our structure and carrol is a spud - wouldnt get a game anywhere else - doesnt have the pace ot stamina to stay with tarrant - and you killed us last year because we had our williamstown reserves playing - now that we are almost full strength we can pencil this match in

Well make sure you use pencil and not ink....

Collingwood will smash the Demons.
