...and they + many Sydney-siders will venture to Docklands to support the Swans vs. Saints who should get at least 30+ of their own members/supporters along, around 40k+
Highly doubtful, trust me when I say there is a decent amount of Bloods contingency in Melbourne

Righto then, lets see if you're accurate in your assessment.
Well of course such a loss is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable, and it seemed that Collingwood were satisfied with simply studying Geelong at their very best. That said, Collingwood's form was 14 successive wins prior to last week, and is now 20 wins from 22 matches. That's pretty good form.
He doesn't looked "cooked," and it's completely inaccurate to say he has looked "stuffed" for weeks! Since he returned from Arizona, his weekly SuperCoach points have been, 117, 114, 89, 66, 102, 95, 99, 92, 80. He had a bad match last week with only a score of 46, but that's all it was.
All teams have injury concerns at this time of the year. This time last year, Alan Didak was in fantastic form all season, but had just torn his pectoral muscle from the bone. There isn't anything as serious at Collingwood at the moment, just a few players getting over minor problems. I don't think Nick Maxwell will play, but Leon Davis was only rested last week, so he'll return.
You're way off. In 2008, Geelong won their last five home and away matches by an average margin of 70 points, including a 99 point win in their final match! They then won the Qualifying Final the following week against St.Kilda by 58 points! The Cats weren't tapering off! They were flying at the time and should have won the premiership, but they had the wrong attitude by publicly stating they were trying to win the premiership for the players only. That's a major reason they weren't at their best on Grand Final day.
What a load of rubbish! History replicates itself far less often than not, and it doesn't have anything to do with what happens in the future of course. If it did, then St.Kilda would have won last years premiership. If West Coast wins on Saturday, it will have nothing to do with history, and it will be because they're the better team on the day. The only influence history has is that clubs should learn from the past. Both their own results, and those of other teams as well.
Is that right? They're not going to get the warm and dry conditions they perform their best next week. The Friday and Saturday forecast is for cool and wet weather, and Collingwood has been terrific in those conditions this year. So taking all of that into account...
I'm actually surprised by the lack of people tipping West Coast (only 6 or 7 opposition supporters) considering that most picking them is due to a hatred of Collingwood. I expected more to tip them.
. Although if blues do win i'm not going to be shocked
