Game not going to be decided in the middle. We've shown we can beat them without midfield supremacy. Game will be about whichever attack is more dangerous/which ever defence stops the most goals.

Still think the midfield battle is a key that's there biggest strength .You win the middle you cut there supply to there forward line game on your terms then.

 

[Roksman]

Sorry to be a buzz kill as it's not my intention.

While I do think we will win, expecting an easy win in a prelim is a cautionary tale.

I hope it isn't close but history suggests - more often than not - it will be.

Fingers crossed we smash them like we did GWS last year.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Pies played well in patches Saturday night and if they do that again we will win easily . However if they actually play like they did against West Coast I think it’s a 50/50 game

Can you apply that train of thought to how Richmond might play ?

2017 Adelaide

2012 Sydney
2010 Collingwood
2009 Geelong

All hot favourites who won prelims easily

The pies will challenge us if we’re off, but if we’re on and they’re a touch off then watch out.

Your point has validity though, if you aren’t on then anyone is gettable.

 

[strav]

Tigers have been the standout team no doubt but make no mistake, this is a free crack. Pies have exceeded expectations this year despite the injuries to key players throughout the year, so we’ll go in with absolutely nothing to lose. That’s dangerous.

Either way Friday night is going to be electric.

You need to explain how is this a free hit. Are you suggesting the Pies are just making up numbers and not taking this game seriously?

There is a Mark Knight cartoon of Dusty in today's Herald-Sun but it is behind a paywall.
Here is a classic.

 

[dwwaino]

I’ve heard/read a few Collingwood players this week already and they are all starting to sound like Chris Scott.

“im in the theyre beatable camp”

Yes they play really well and we are off a bit it will be 50/50 .

For sure.

If the last two games are anything to go by we will only break even at best. Which should suit us fine as we have a much stronger defence/attack imo.

They’re going to have to really get a run on, catch our defence off guard and punish us with their ball movement and goal kicking.

is it friday yet ?

that's racist

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I would like to see Nankervis lay those crunching tackles.
Adams should be first cab off the rank.
It's about time Prestia played a blinder.
Remember the passage of play in the GF when he speared the pass to Dusty.

 

[Ocker]

I love it how they are coming out saying that they can beat us abd that we are beatable

FIGJAM
Pendles
that bloke in the picture, Phillips I think
Treloar

They are all trying to convince themselves they can win.

We are just sitting back saying how good Collingwood are, just waiting till Friday night, where we will rip their heads off and send their fans home on the early trains.

They are going to get pumped #novaseline

100%...its ****ing hilarious.

This is going to be so ****ing sweet.

Delusional campaigners...meet 'The Machine'.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

I think we're unbeatable. We don't bleed.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

No i mean what happens if we play like we did against the hawks and they are off.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

For sure.

First game we won the clearances, second game they won the clearance, both games we won the inside 50 count by 10+. Clearances are only effective if you do something with them.
