Game Day Round 23 - Melbourne v Collingwood, Saturday 26th August, 1:45pm, MCG

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

What's with the use of 'coloured'? This kid is going to be the next Cyril. He is electric, as you will see tonight. Hopefully only once or twice though...

The next Relton Roberts

Melksham to Adams or Sidebottom? I'd leave Treloar initially.

Please Melbourne, as supporters we have never asked or expected much- but today, please; just ****ing win.

pls

 

[Azillolz]

Let's do it for Jim Stynes

 

[Proper Gander]

Everything I do today feels significant and portentous, like it is a part of a mystical ritual.

I ate portentous Vegemite followed by a significant black coffee and cleaned the bathroom after Ron Barassi chucked up a hairball on the bath mat. It was a ritual.

Please win Demons.

Huge day. Time to put the last 11 years behind us.

 

[Tulip]

I'll say this too. This game will be decided a single figure margin and will be played out to the last second. It's not gonna come on a platter for us that's for sure

Single figure margin makes it harder for WCE

Let Adams get it as much as he wants. He is more effective for us if he wins the clearance and kicks it to us tbh

Sidebottom hurt us last time.

Adams and Treloar get a lot of it and run hard, but aren't as damaging by foot.

I'd start with a hard runner paying close attention to Sidebottom for the first half and see how that goes.

Feel sick, got conjunctivitis and a sore foot. Staying home, might start drinking

 

[Andy_Mac]

If we are a serious football side we win and win well today.

I want to see the same intensity from group that we had in the first half ofthe year

And you just know, don't you, another team in these exact circumstances - playing to ensure finals against an obviously lesser side that's even worse than usual - would power it up and win by 10 goals plus, and make for a relaxing arvo for fans. Us, though, if we do win it'll be no doubt after being at least four goals down at some point, numerous missed easy goals a vomit and rage filled self harm inducing experience overall that leaves one questioning why one follows this ****ing team... before coming back to do it all over again two weeks later

Seems like a nice enough day, not too cold out. A lot on the line, Collingwood home game, kids under 15 get in free... could we see 60k?

Maybe I'm stupid but this doesn't make sense, would you explain?

Not sure many non- hardcore pies fans show up

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

You do realise one thing don't you?

THIS IS COLLINGWOODS GRAND FINAL!

Good for you guys then, we typically don't do well in Grand Finals

 

[Scythe94]

I'm not nervous, you're nervous.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Heretier Lumumba farewell / tribute game.

So we want to win, and we want Sydney to belt the living suitcase out of Carlton and go to 5th (or Port to lose against the Suns).

That means we will travel to Port Adelaide for the elimination final, rather than Sydney..

Single figure margin in Collingwood's favour I believe he means.

So if we're relying on percentage, the smaller the loss today, the harder it is for West Coast to knock us out.

 

[Crimson Azure]

I'm numb.

It's weird, it's like I have butterflies in my stomach but they are flying in formation.

 

[Bluelegs]

West Coast would need to win by 30 or 40 points to overtake us

Or both teams win and tigers lose then we would have an mcg elimination final.
