Preview Preliminary Final v Collingwood MCG Friday 21/9/18

[Slipps]

Your entire midfield had over 30 touches each last time and we still won. You can win the supercoach award again while we'll win the actual match..... Again.

Danger game my ass. They last 2 times we have played them we laid under 50 tackles in both, which clearly shows we were in 2nd gear, yet we won easily.

Our pressure will be on and we saw they couldn’t handle the Giants mediocre pressure for a qtr, so have no hope in handling ours for 4qtrs. They won’t be allowed to move the ball so quickly against us either.

Tigers by 36

If Collingwood think they can beat us by scoring 69 points then they are dreaming. Our defence is better than that of GWS, I cannot see them kicking a winning score

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I actually think Pies are our biggest thread from here on, we beat them and I’m more confident we’ll go back to back.

 

[Greggy]

Will you guys have someone run with Sidebottom? He’s been our best over the finals so far.

Conca will wear him like a glove.

Holy **** the ticket prices are insane! I am still going but **** me I won't be able to afford the myki fare for the train ride home!

So...don't buy a myki fare (like 50% of the population)

 

[Ocker]

Inb4 Razor, Deboy and Stevic are named as umpires for the game.

**** you AFL.

*Not that it will matter in the end

How feral is this Friday going to be?! I'm equal parts scared and excited......

My dad, who is a life-long Essendon supporter, but rarely says anything about the AFL these days unless he really feels it, said to me after the game last night, "Richmond are going to destroy Collingwood"

I was looking for prices for the prelim but can't find them. Can you please provide a link? Thanks.

Nervous. Very nervous.

Just bring the pressure. Come to play.

Id hate to win and then not show up for the gf

Massive game. I have rated the Pies all year.
I think they are the best side we have played this year (our losses nothwithstanding).
nank needs to do what he has done twice already this year and break even or even beat Grundy.
Sidebottom is a gun. Need to quell his inside 50s. Such a smart used of the ball.
De Goey was awesome last night. I expect Grimes to go to him.

I rekon it will be close whole game actually .

We need to keep our hands off cox. Cannot touch this guy without giving a free kick away. Umps will b all over this. If he converts those frees to goals look out.

I do too.
I believe Collingwood will be thereabouts all night, with small lapses of concentration keeping it at a 3 goal buffer.
Our starts concern me. Collingwood jumped GWS last night, couldn't make the most of it, then lost the remainder of the game to GWS score-wise. GWS butchered their opportunities with dumb, selfish football. We won't.

Believe the 3rd week will impact in the last quarter. Trip to Perth, tough, 4 quarter game, last night, wet, heavy conditions, tough 4 quarter game. 6 day break
Eddie will at least have the excuses ready to go.

How much for a ticket? Thinking of getting there but the price needs to be right

Sorry just saw the next post ....
All the best and hope the match lives up to the hype

 

[Burning bright]

Lolingwood's last quarters have been very unimpressive in the finals.

Their key forward targets will not have the space and luxury of lack of pressure applied to them as we saw by Greater Wasted Space last night.

In fact, Greater Wasted Space's general pressure was very inconsistent around the whole ground last night.

Their management team and psych cheer leaders will do their best to pump Lolingwood players up but they themselves know deep down they are not up to the level of the Tigers game.

In a perfect world the Tigers would have met Lolingwood in the GF and the Tigers reclaimed our world record winning margin for a GF win.

Alas we must settle for a Prelim win.

Eat em alive Tigers!

That defending by GWS in the first qtr was on carlton level defending, was actually amazing they were only 22 down. Denons, tigers and eagles would've been 40+ to the good, actually any team in the top 12 would've been.

Thank you. If I manage to get onto ticketek I will just select "best available" and see what the gods throw up. I was just wondering what I'd be up for if I cracked a priority one. I am buying tickets for my 3 sons also (2 concessions and 1 junior) so it would be expensive if this is the case. Over $400 I estimate.

 

[k31th]

Should be a tough matchup, but if they don't pull a rabbit out of the hat, tactics wise, I don't see them challenging us with our own game style or their own. 5 goal win, for mine.

I don’t believe the trip to Perth , third week , wet last night, 6 day break will make an ounce of difference . I think people forget these are professional Athletes fittest of the fit , last night game wasn’t tough it was a training drill for pies , they kicked badly and should have won by 40+
