Ughh
Fkkkn cringe.
Can't wait to have this brought up on Fri morn after a loss.

I honestly do not have a good feeling about this game. We only just beat them last time and were, frankly, lucky to win. I suspect we'll go down by a fairly slim margin. That said, I can see us winning fairly comfortably too. I simply think a close loss is more likely.

Did you see us winning THAT game?

No one does cringe better than Adelaide.

A few more tickets are going to be released

How is it any different to putting Louis Walker on the collingwood Banner? It's just a bit of banter.

mine was similar, it had a comment down the bottom saying member barcodes werent required, wonder if there was a maximum amount of tickets you could get

Looking for any positive omen... Alan Sheppard (was on the board for 14 years) just had a winner at Sandown in the AFC colours...

 

[Dangarman]

So from the 23 that played the pies a few weeks ago, we can be fairly sure that Rankine, Murphy and Schoenberg will not be playing.

We can also be fairly sure that Laird, Max and Pedlar will come back in. The only question for mine is whether Bond will be replaced by one of Dowling, Draper or Cook. IMO a remote chance Smith could be replaced from that side for structural purposes (with both Max and Laird coming in).

Don’t mind the carousel sign but the victory one is silly

Settle down.

Community getting behind the Crows is a great thing.

Use of the word 'Cringe' should be hit with a perma ban and the user teleported back to 2006 where they belong

 

[ThePrideOf]

What is our W/L record with milestone games? has that been analysed?

I am hoping there is some sort of favourability toward this Milestone game + hostility that the boys will have against Houston, Quaynor etc

 

[WetCrow1991]

I presume that's THE Max Basheer...

It would be
Max Rafeek Basheer.

To be fair that was the cringe radio station that did that.

Draper and Cook were not in the Captains run today

They had 26 today. Burgess and Butts were in it so two of the emergencies. Nicks has said that Pedlar is in. So sounds like Dowling or Bond will the last one in the 23


Bond
Keane
Worrell
Laird
Murray
Milera
Cumming
Dawson
Curtin
Michalanney
Fogarty
N-Bullen
Walker
Thilthorpe
Keays
O’Brien
Berry
Soligo
Pedlar
Taylor
Hinge
Peatling
Smith
Dowling
Butts
Burgess

I am expecting a usual $hit the bed performance. I would be shocked if we pull it off tomorrow night. Collingwood are the masters of games/situations like this. all above the shoulders tomorrow night. We got out of jail 2 weeks weeks ago. since the showdown we have been poor in key areas. couldn't handle West Coast or North Melb. a dry night two weeks ago against the pies and i think we lose that. I am actually not looking forward to it. would have been great to have been playing the Suns....

get stuffed

 

[Dangarman]

Looks like the Pies won't be changed much from the previous encounter. (Howe was back last week, but didn't play against us the week prior, so will be listed as an 'out')

McStay the only confirmed out, looks like being replaced by Cox if we dare trust Eddie McGuire's statements.

DeGoey would be a certain inclusion. Looks like Wil Parker will replace Howe.

So net change from last game would be Cox replacing McStay and DeGoey replacing Ed Allen.


Can't say I'm liking the thought of DeGoey in and Rankine out as the significant changes...

(DeGoey has 1.33 Brownlow votes per game in his last 3 matches against us)

Edit. DeGoey did play against us last time, and only got 11 disposals. Oops. So their changes from us to their Melb. matchup were Howe and Roan Steele in for Ed Allen and Wil Parker.

If their changes from last week are simply Cox in for McStay and Parker in for Howe, and Steele holds his spot then the net changes from our previous matchup will be something like

Cox in for McStay
Steele in for Allen.

Both pretty 'Meh'.

IMO we will be stronger, even without Rankine, because we won't have Murphy.
The Max and Laird inclusions will definitely go a long way to reducing their I50 count from last time.

 

[skam85]

A good exercise is to compare our five 'worst' players in our 23 this weekend to the 2017 GF.

For argument's sake and in no order -

Bond, Pedlar/Dowling (whoever gets named), Taylor, Berry, Smith

vs

Mackay, Atkins, Knight, Kelly, Otten

This stat alone tells me we should not only absolutely win this weekend but also make the Grand Final.
