Game Day Collingwood vs GWS Giants, 1.10pm MCG

[Land of the Giants]

Really excited about today.

I think we might get over the line, I only wish I could have travelled down for the game.

Go Giants!

I would love to be there too. Must say that the Pies match day board is a good read. Mixed reviews and predictions as you'd anticipate for this game, but a general sense of excitement for the game. What I like about that is, before emotions run high, there is sense that this is a real opposition they are playing. Of course, if we win, there will be few who get stuck into us as a plastic club that have been handed success...yada, yada. On the whole, I think we are begin to win over a few Mexicans...

My view on the game is that we are every chance in this game. The bookies have the Pies slightly ahead, and that is right going into this game. The big thing is we haven't started winning away against quality sides. The boys need to be on from the start to be a chance. A lead of any margin at the first break will be a key to keeping the crowd relatively subdued. This is a game where we also need our fast ball movement style to click. I think we can do them for pace. The Pies will need to bring their contested footy to the fore, as we are still struggling in this department. On contested footy, Griff, time to stand up mate. The big stage, massive game; hardness, composure and experience required.

I have a good feeling about this one. But the boys must be as switched on as the hawks games. A lapse in concentration like against the bulldogs could mean a smashing. 8 wins would put us in the box seat for finals

Just be competitive boys.

A good omen: My artist just sent me the latest artwork for my serial (link in my sig) and it looks AWESOME. It's the first one he's done under his new alias too, which is exciting for him.

Provided we kick straight and don't let the Pies bully us, we're SO gonna win!

It'll be a good game. Go Giants.

 

[Simmofreo]

Looking forward to this big stage and chance to make a statement

 

[Hojuman]

Good luck today Giants. Got a chance to start a run of 5 losses for them.
Please make it happen

 

[Cmarsh]

Got a feeling we'll either get over the line for a hard fought victory or get blown away today.

Run hard enough and you'll spank 'em. Your boys got the legs.

 

[Proper Gander]

Just be competitive boys.

Could be a fantastic game to watch - important outcome too.

Go Giants. Great team to watch flying - really entertaining football.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Bad kicking...

 

[Simmofreo]

Inaccurate but we are switched on !!!!

 

[_GT_]

Griff! This is looking good. Two beautiful inside fifties and some good work inside and outside. Go get em mate.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Fudge.

 

[Simmofreo]

Got to stay composed. We have not done too well after being down 20+ against a good side

 

[patfullfankezz]

I can't believe how much booing is now in the focus. I mean, last year the boos for Heater from the pies faithful would never have rated a mention.

 

[_GT_]

Composure. Nope...none here at the moment.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Really needed to capitalise on those early shots. Those misses hurt.

 

[patfullfankezz]

And then Jezza does that

 

[Simmofreo]

JeeeeeZzzzaa

 

[_GT_]

Well done Jezza. Couldn't miss from there

 

[_GT_]

Far out brussell sprout! Loose balls seem to be falling Pies way.

 

[Simmofreo]

I'm nervous. Pies just look sharper. With their noisy crowd I feel if it gets 25 points down the floodgates could open

We need the first

Davis is doing well on Cloke.
