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

[Ingy]

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.

Crisp with Kelly for mine.

Mitchell head to head with Green.

De Goey head to head with Cogs.

Considering it's supposedly the Giants' strength, I think our midfield matches up really well on theirs.

But yeah Crispy needs to do a defensive job on Kelly

Kelly absolutely crumbles under a tag so we need to give him attention. Finn Maginess tagged him to six touches in Round 17

 

[Exambolor]

Starting to get really toey.

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

Carn the Pies!

Same, starting to feel really real.

 

[Exambolor]

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.

O’Halloran is their typical tagger but I don’t think he’ll play. Ash was the main tagger in the past but he’s a crucial cog in the backline so he won’t be used

 

[Pistol Night]

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

Different proposition for them against the pies tomorrow night.

Purring like a cat thats about to have the hounds released upon them

 

[Pistol Night]

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

Johnno's was off the charts. And big Leigh Browns off break goal

Slobbo said GWS will win

Slobbo also rocks up to work drunk and is the chief writer in the herald sun. So...yeah I'd trust what he said

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

Cousin of Daicos has banged on about us winning PFs but not doing so well in the GF. Doubt this week will be the toss up

 

[Pistol Night]

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.

 

[hellfire]

Probably my all time favourite Collingwood goal. Not because of the goal itself, but because of the feeling and atmosphere at the ground.

Agree. The lead up to it and the total strangulation of Geelong that had been so dominant made it special

 

[BuildEmUp]

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.

agrre he is not damaging Greene i s the danger play mcreery on him!

That sounds about right.

Was there a Captain’s Run today? Any notables in black/white, any big cheers, or tears?

Bizarre listening to Brereton talking about the only in form teams left in the finals : Giants, Carlton & Lions.

Last time I checked they have all won their last 2 matches. As have we.

They don’t do black or white in captains run. Only the selected team and emgs are present

Squiggle Aggregate has us as winning by 8 points. Not that it matters much to the actual result that will play out, but this is what the betting agencies are using to form their odds just FYI


Which for contrast, they have Brisbane by 17 points.

That's not exactly trying to predict the exact margin/outcome, but this is just the raw statistical output.

Just for context, they had Melbourne beating us by 1 in the QF so being up 8 is generally a pretty safe position to be in.

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.

Unleash Naicos Toby greene has poked the bear

Thanks for this, it made my day a little better

 

[Carringbush2010]

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

Pendles doesn't have leg speed to run with Green, and doesn't play run with roles, he'll continue to graze freely and out mind everyone on the park.

Crisp maybe, again we don't normally tag, will come down to which team can play their ideal style the longest.

 

[MadDogMundez]

Ok this is my predictions

Coll 2.5. 7.9. 11.13. 16.16.112

GWS 3.1. 4.6. 7.11. 10.13.73

Goals Elliott 4, McStay 2, Hill 2. Cox 2

Best JDG, Jaicos, Crisp, IQ, Naicos

Bookmark this post everyone!

Surely Elliott is in the best of he kicks 4

 

[Hardas]

Pretty sure the umps will check for knives, so....

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Probably my all time favourite Collingwood goal. Not because of the goal itself, but because of the feeling and atmosphere at the ground.

My second favourite.

My favourite is Didak's against the Bulldogs. Also RIDICULOUSLY loud for a ~70K crowd with the game already over.

Combination of the quality of the goal itself and the crowd volume.

Didak was one of the most freakishly skilled I’ve ever seen. Sweetest kick of the footy

Awesome goal, but a terrible camera angle from Ch 10.

The literal modern incarnation of Peter Daicos

Same body shape/proportions with the short legs and low centre of gravity.

Even similar kicking style on a different foot. Could play mid just as well as forward. Hell, even a similar ethnic name lol
