Have we gone early on Giants? Why Collingwood deserves more respect in prelim lead-up
“A lot of people are tipping the Giants to beat the Pies but the Pies are the best team of the year.”

Well said. This team deserves to go all the way. What joy it has given us the last 2 years.It was an average year last year also, til Geelong ‘turned up’ on Grand Final day.
Elliott and De Goey are fine footballers. Mihocek, McStay and Hill handy. McCreery a goer. They all commit to the team plan and their team mates - thus far it has carried them a long way in, 18 months. Possibly it will deliver them the ultimate prize. Credit to the playing group and coaching staff if it does.
I was just being tongue in cheek, if we’re good enough we put them away and the umpires aren’t even a factorLol
He was worth 3-4 against Geelong
Who can sleep?One more Sleep.
I think we went with the chant against Dee's in the QF pretty early..Is that the earliest we’ve gone with the Chant?
The other issue is connection with community. Don't know much about GWS but I've been to western Sydney a few times. Huge sprawling diverse mega suburb but I couldn't see much evidence of connection to GWS. I realise they are an expansion club created by the AFL. Collingwood on the other hand was created by the Collingwood community to serve the community and has retained and strengthened those deep links since 1892. To paraphrase Pendles the team that stays connected the longest (including its community, history and values) will win.
Floreat Pica
The noise of affirmation with 85,000 Pies fans opposed to the 24 GWS fans will even it out
Could easily have been lining up for ‘back to back’.Well said. This team deserves to go all the way. What joy it has given us the last 2 years.
Nice to see Tobys Dad allowed back after assaulting a female cop last time23. Apparently Mrs Greene is sick and can't attend.

I think you’re digging a hole for yourself - not sure what you don’t get that Green as one of the games monsters mids, will easily account for Titch - it’s a bad match up.To be clear, are you saying that being ten centimetres taller means that you easily break an opponent's tackle?
No wonder Fly dropped Noble, he's apparently incapable of tackling 20 of the oppo's players.
It's a wonder Tony Shaw got one game, let alone over 300. Did he ever lay a tackle?
This 'analysis' disturbs me
Absolutely right. We don't sook. Umpires and media are not relevant.Please no more ump sooking, no more sooking about the media. It's painful to read. No victim mentality, come on.
These two things won't factor into the result. If we're good enough, we'll go out there and put them away. No excuses!
Whats the narrative when the giants get rolled tomorrow? "6 day break, AFL bad", "Crowd too one-sided", "Young team ran out of legs".
Daisy Heath and Beams can all GAGF
Yep, and Pendles has been named at centre half back. Has he been training in that role? Will he be talking Daniher or Hipwood?McCreery named on the ball. Has he been training in the role?

Load up on GWSThe man that umpired our qualifying and prelims last year is back
Rosebury ffs
What?Total faith that Fly will have us psychologically primed to start well again. GWS may well win in the end but at least we won’t play like defensive crabs for the first 3 quarters.

Crisp, JDG and even Pendles would do a better job at reducing Greens influence at stoppage.
It’s quite pathetic how Daisy has been on the bandwagon this and last year considering how poorly he treated the club. Guess he doesn’t want to be remembered for playing for Carlton
average forward line, Highest %.
Huh. Can’t be to bad.
