Preview Preliminary Final: Collingwood v GWS, MCG 22 September, 7.50pm

[OniAu]

SP kicking that goal on his right foot in the first quarter is the loudest roar I think I have ever heard at one of our games.

Bring out the decibel meter for our home games!!

 

[Didak Wine]

I will buy quaynors cologne if we win

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

In what way, do Melb and PA losing undermine the respect in which Coll should be held?

The poster's belief that finishing on top automatically earns a respect whereas the media are interested in the teams finishing lower. I suggested this might have something to do with the rapid demise of the other 2 top 4 finishes. Their fate determined that Collingwood and Brisbane would have to earn respect rather than having it merely bestowed due to ladder position. Besides the wins of GWS and Carlton over the higher ranked teams are fresh in the mind of commentators.

Run it back Big Mase

I think all the understandable concern is from past prelims where we've cooked it, so I think it's natural we have more pessimism then confidence.

Tell you what I won't be celebrating until the final siren if we win becuase I've seen way too much BS haha

2019 against GWS we cooked it - otherwise I'd suggest that our prelim results have been good.

 

[De Glueie]

Was just checking the big footy GWS board.
These clowns think they have got the game won already. They know their ruckman is injured will play with one hand but then they think Pruess will play instead watch Coxy and Cameron work these GWS clowns over. However if they go with thier current ruckman hell get smashed hard i really hope they do

Few things about the Gws Giants this game will not be a repeat of 2019.We are primed to smash them hard.
They have played 2 weeks of bruise free footy. Port with no backline kicked 1 goal 9 against them in the last quarter had port kicked a little straighter they would have won with no backline

Plus Friday NIGHT footy when was the last time GWS played on the G AT night ground could be dewy ???????????
Watch the BLACK AND WHITE sunami blow the ORANGE whimper of gust to nothing.

Everything is poised for the pies to smash our way to a grand final. All media backing GWS even Peter Moore sauid this a 50 50 game.

But pies by 30 points i reckon Collinwood v Carlton grand final and we smash carlton to win the flag.

[Harry O]

Briggs is fair game.

Pity neither Cox or Cameron have a nasty streak in them. Imagine what Mummy would do to Briggs shoulder

 

[toxic]

Who runs with Josh Kelly?

 

[De Glueie]

Who runs with Josh Kelly?

Maybe Will hoskin elliot as hosky is in great form currently or maybe lipinski

 

[jefffff34]

Who runs with Josh Kelly?

Josh Daicos.

 

[De Glueie]

Remember we are poised for this they are coming off 6 day break we are had the week off We should have the legs to go all day they will run out of steam especially if put the burners on for 4 quarters they don't have 4 quarters of hard tough footy in them you watch

But pies put the foot to their throats and destroy them no mercy

TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING AND GIVE THEM NOTHING..............leonidis king of Sparta

 

[toxic]

Maybe Will hoskin elliot as hosky is in great form currently or maybe lipinski

Lips to Whitfield imho

WHE an option

Or does

Nics brother go head to head

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Who runs with Josh Kelly?

No disrespect as Kelly has talent, but has he played more than a handful of decent games in his career?
Not suggesting he won’t play well and needs to monitored, but I’m sure we have many players in the same boat.

 

[Big Bryza]

Whatever position he plays, I really want Nick to take the kick outs.

Even if he has to leg down from the forward pocket each time the Giants kick a behind.

His vision, kicking skill and ability to run for the second possession and consequent 100m of territory gain is too good to waste IMO

Yes, one thing i don't want to see is our kick outs just going to right half back flank time and time again. It's become so predictable and makes it near impossible to get any transition going from a kick out. Tomorrow night is the time to take a few more risks, Naics is the man for the job.

 

[Big Bryza]

Re Naicos, do you guys think that there will be a hard tag on him wherever he plays?

Giants haven't got a tagger to go with him. We've seen what happens when teams try and invent a tag this season. Naics cuts them to bits and completely obliterates the oppositions system.

 

[Big Bryza]

I don't think it'll start that way. GWS's entire game is purring like cat, so I'm not sure they'd want to mess with that. But from memory they tried last time? I can't recall. They're a different team now though.

Purring to massive 4 goal wins against the Saints and Port.

Different proposition for them against the pies tomorrow night.

 

[Big Bryza]

We had a very good list and we lost the GF due to his coaching.

Our list was average and injury list was enormous in 2018. Bucks might have struggled early days but 2018 was one hell of a coaching performance.

Anyway, moving on to tomorrow night. Let's give the orange team hell. Up the mags.

 

[Big Bryza]

It tends to happen most years with elimination final winners (the hype gets over the top) and they get thumped at some point - they've cleared the 2nd hurdle which makes them more dangerous but the thumping they're due is hopefully coming up on Friday

We've become a bit out of sight, out of mind.

We put the Dees to the sword early in the QF and the cue went in the rack late.

Since then, the orange team has played 2 games, for 2 good wins against also rans.

Big boy footy tomorrow night will sort them out.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

SP kicking that goal on his right foot in the first quarter is the loudest roar I think I have ever heard at one of our games.

Yep 100%

So glad I'm not the only one

Pendles Goal in that first quarter was next level loud. Closely followed by Ben Johnson's right after lol

 

[Vicky Park]

 

[adamov13]

Yep 100%

So glad I"m not the only one

Peddles Goal in that first quarter was next level loud. Closely followed by Ben Johnson's right after lol

On the money mate, I forgot how good that Johnson goal was until I just re-watched it.

 

[Woody15]

So glad I"m not the only one

Peddles Goal in that first quarter was next level loud. Closely followed by Ben Johnson's right after lol

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Pendles goal in 2007 at Subi was the quietest goal he's ever kicked.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Maybe Will hoskin elliot as hosky is in great form currently or maybe lipinski

 

[windchimes]

There a particular midfielder that we'd want Pendles or Crisp to run with?

Kelly and Cogs are the most damaging but Green's a pretty prolific ball winner.

 

[Ingy]

Starting to get really toey.

I'm confident we'll win, I just can't wait to witness it.

Carn the Pies!
