Game Day Round 16, 2021: Collingwood v St.Kilda

[George]

Game day.

It's a pretty full on day for the club.

12:00PM
Collingwood v Sandringham
Holden Centre
Live on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

2:00PM
VFLW 2nd Elimination Final: Port Melbourne v Southern Saints
ETU Stadium (North Port Oval)
You can watch the game via clicking here.
Winner will advance to the 2nd Semi Final against the loser of Collingwood (1st) v Geelong (2nd).

Then obviously our game at 3:20PM from the MCG. Also live on Channel 7 as well as Kayo/Foxtel.

Harves returns to face us and we need a win to go only half a game out of the eight.



Some weird statistics between the two clubs;

* We've only lost once in the last 41 years to Collingwood on a Sunday at the MCG (Round 21, 2002)
* Our record since 1980 against the Pies at the MCG is 7-1-15
* Only played each other once in Round 16 (2010)
* Biggest loss v Collingwood at the MCG - 74 points (Round 11, 1995 & Round 3, 2015)
* Biggest win v Collingwood at the MCG - 38 points (Round 6, 2005)

Looks like it could be windy & wet

Am thinking the reason why they dropped Battle ...... one less tall guy

If it is wet,the umps will most likely throw the ball up instead of bounce it
Does that favour Marshall and Ryder against Brody?

Who could have thought a win today gives us a finals chance. Even money game for mine. Every single result we needed to go our way did. I know some will say gws didn’t but that result doesn’t matter unless gws have another draw. Us by a point. Highmore to kick 7.

 

[Minga]

It’s now or never for this season.

 

[gringo2011]

I have to go watch my son play soccer out in the middle of nowhere in the rain. I'm hoping for a Saints win and get back and watch the replay.

Did you sleep at all overnight?

No, Euros have killed me lately, and been helping up in the Dandenong's. Worth it though on both fronts lol

Looking forward to a scratchy win in slippery and windy conditions. Just get it done boys!

 

[BrutThough]

This game has quickly gone from a non-event to a must win game of our season.

Another strong 4 quarter performance is needed to show we've taken on board everything that was talked about over the bye week.

Looking forward to seeing Connolly play a full game.

 

[CursingFijian]

We are good enough to win this one, and I any wet weather plays into our favour with the game style we have had for the last two weeks. Hoping Dunstan has another big day rolling around in the muck.

Partcularly interested in seeing what Connolly's defensive game looks like, and what his engine is like. He has some big boots to fill in both of those aspects.

The optimist in me has crunched the numbers and says we can only afford one more loss if we are going to get to finals. We just need to focus on one game at a time, starting with this mob today.

Been there, done that… it’s when I first learnt what the Aussie slang “Woop Woop” meant. I thought it was a place!

 

[kernelT]

Cakewalk.

 

[Remboy]

If we play anywhere near the way we played week we'll win this easily.
Saints by 197.

[ScrappyDo]

I've been lucky enough to score tickets but l also have a %100 hit rate of Stkilda losing when l watch games with an oppo supporter as is the Darl who likes the filth but not in a good way.
Apologies in advance. I am The Cooler..

 

[Roo Ted 77]

I'm not even going to feel guilty watching two games of footy today haha

 

[god_of_the_universe]

Nice and windy out there today.

Let's hope the wind can push a few of our mis-kicked shots on goal through the big sticks instead!

 

[snails13]

Battle,Sub if Hunter,Lonie and Kent playing for Sandy?

 

[Roo Ted 77]

Battle,Sub if Hunter,Lonie and Kent playing for Sandy?

Yep. They just confirmed it.

 

[stfan]

Yep. They just confirmed it.

Yes. [6] Josh Battle,

Yes [41] Paul Hunter,[25] Dean Kent,[13] Jack Lonie all paying for Sandy.


Though if we lose a player in the warm up will be one short, or a player will have to front up for a second game as the fill-in sub..
