Collingwood v Adelaide @ MCG

[Sir Vlado]

This is going to be a big game, both teams are on 8 wins and six losses. This match is going to decide who will still be able to have a crack at the top 4. C'wood are coming off a big win over Sydney while the Crows are on 3 straight losses and a hiding from Geelong.

The weather for the match will be at a frosty 13C degrees with a chance of rain, so expect it to be a slippery, wet and possibly low scoring match ;).

It promises to be a very exciting game. :thumbsu:

go crows
smash dale thomas

[PendlePie]

Very tough game, definitely the hardest of the round to tip. The Pies should win, however we usually have difficulty backing up good wins. The crows stand to lose 4 in a row, and will put up a very good fight in order to prevent this from happening.

I'm tipping the Pies...but it's 50/50 for mine.

Yeah i'm with you. Leaning towards the Pies, but wouldn't surprise if the Crows put in a belter. Collingwood can have down games after a big win.
Neither side is easy to beat on their day so should at least be a cracker, with Pies in better form and at the G would have the slight advantage.

[Soul_Pie]

Matches between these two sides are typically very hard fought and close, and I'm expecting this one to be no different. I've noticed a lot of tipsters have Collingwood winning by comfortable margins, but I don't think it will fold out that way unless we bring our absolute A-game.

In any case, I think the Pies will win in a close one. I'm hoping for a high quality match in any case.

wait... wait, wait...

i know i already replied to this stupid, uneducated comment... what i didn't realise was that it was a COLLINGWOOD supporter whinging about their team not being on FTA.

it must be hard having to go to the pub all of 3 times a year to watch your team...

i moved from tassie last year... try dealing with your team being on FTA 7 times a year

Battle of the great pretenders today. Hope the Crows bury the Pies today. Good start it seems.

Crows up by 3

[cmndstab]

Hahahahaha, two seconds left in the quarter and they go to an advert.

No, two adverts apparently.

[Pancakes]

Crows would be spitting chips, letting a 28 point lead get down to three at half time. Disappointing for them.

[unplugged]

Right back in it now. Go pies! :D

[cmndstab]

Three ads even. What the hell channel 10?

FOUR ADVERTS. This is an entire ad break with two seconds to go.

[Geoffa32]

Hate to say it but I reckon the second half will be all Pies.

[PendlePie]

I am speechless. No less than 10 minutes ago we were getting absolutely belted around the park, but to get ourselves right back into this game is a very good effort.

Great game, second half promises to be spectacular.

edit: And thankyou Malthouse for moving Maxwell off Burton.

[adelaide_40]

1/2 time crows up by 3 points should be up by more as we have been dominating around the ground

[scott_pendlebury]

Pies looking like they could really take over this game. Lets hope so:thumbsu:

[PendlePie]

Hate to say it but I reckon the second half will be all Pies.

I doubt it mate. The Crows have still been the better side so far this game. Second half promises to be very interesting :thumbsu:

[lazy]

I hope MM will complain bitterly about the Crows not allowed to replace PorPleaseHer. They are playing once short for the whole game.

[scott_pendlebury]

I doubt it mate. The Crows have still been the better side so far this game. Second half promises to be very interesting :thumbsu:

Yeah but collingwood have shown signs of taking over...then again so have adelaide

[PendlePie]

Obviously if your side is being disadvantaged you would talk it up, similarly how if it was giving your side an advantage you wouldn't speak on it so much.

Malthouses' view will still be the same on the issue though.

[PendlePie]

Trav is looking good so far, raking in some big marks. Does anyone have his stats to half time?

Collingwood getting on top, Crows hanging in there Anthony about to shoot for goal

[PendlePie]

Anthony goals. Dubious mark, but nonetheless he goals. Pies by 2.

[adelaide_40]

John anthony goals for collingwood they go up by 2

Collingwood 8.8.56
Adelaide 8.6.54

Collingwood on top early, Burton has gone down looks to be his knee

[PendlePie]

Burton has done his knee by the look of it. Not good from the Crows' point of view.

[jerry springer]

Ouch, crows down to 2 men

[nobbyiscool]

aaah, ####...

i hate adelaide... but burton is one of the entertainers of this league...

a crying shame that.

[jerry springer]

Whomever Maxwell is on runs riot

you cant preach to the converted mate;)

[Brent24]

Terrible news for Burton.

[rusdid24]

Poor bastard, good luck to him, hope he recovers quickly.

You don't like to see that happen to anyone, and he was having such an influence to the Crows.

It'll be tough for Adelaide now, if they win, kudos to them and well done.

[Willis]

Oh awesome our two best forwards out of the game. ####ing hell.

[bomba4eva]

Pity about Burton. That is horrible news. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the Crows season if it is an ACL.

[bluesforever]

Collingwood should win this, Burton has half on Adelaides score.

[adelaide_40]

How many free kicks has Nick Maxwell given away?

[lazy]

Crows no hope now... Down probably their 2 best players to 20 men against 22.

[Invigoration]

Whomever Maxwell is on runs riot

Who ran riot last weekend?

[adelaide_40]

Medhurst Goals for the pies there up by 10, Been well on top all quarter

[Smoky]

How many free kicks has Nick Maxwell given away?


4... 2 of them were absloute garbage

[cmndstab]

Another Medhurst goal, 16 points up.

[Southerntakeover]

Could get ugly here.

[adelaide_40]

Medhurst takes a good grab & kicks his 2nd goal in a row. There leading by 16

[cmndstab]

The Crows are looking utterly rattled, like their mind is right off the game at the moment. They're only three goals down but it's almost impossible to see them getting back into this.

[Young Gun #6]

Collingwood are playing good footy but if they don't win from here with Bridman gone they are terrible.

71-54

[Young Gun #6]

8 out of the last 9 goals have been from Collingwood.

[tarky]

crows sure do look rattled....this'll end up being 40 points

[adelaide_40]

3 qtr time & Pies by 16 dominated that qtr, up by 16 should win it from here.

[PendlePie]

Pies a bit wasteful at the end of that quarter. Have to make sure they don't cough up any early goals next quarter or this could be a repeat of the Brisbane/Roos games.

[Willis]

With no forward line structure we are relying on the likes of Bock to be our forwards which completely screws our backline. We are absolutely no chance. :(

[scott_pendlebury]

how about medhurst's two marks. Hes a star

[PendlePie]

The game isn't over by any stretch yet. Mick needs to make sure the boys come out firing or else risk being overrun.

[unplugged]

Hate to say it but I reckon the second half will be all Pies.

You're spot on so far :D

[Young Gun #6]

I can't see the Crows mids holding up against the likes of Daisy, Shaw, Shaw, Pendle, Burns, Didak, Johnson and Swan which will see the Adelaide crappy defense without bock get killed.

Pies by 35+
