AFL Round 17: Collingwood v West Coast Sunday 1:10pm AEST @MCG

[Beer n Skittles]

I hate to stick up for Collingwood - but calling a team 'pretenders' because they beat worse teams, then lost to a better team isn't football analysis; it's just angsty shitstirring. Don't sink to football journalism lows.

Re read what you just wrote. Richmonds bad record away from home will stop them winning the flag at the mcg?

Add in the Tigers & their appalling away record & it looks like a good year for an non-vic team to take the prize.

Ironically, the average Pie fan has probably so much more wealth than the average WCE supporter. Sell 1 property and purchase about 5 in Perth

But 1/2 the mathematical ability.

Haven't the Tigers not won an interstate game in like 400 days?? Weren't you gifted a flag by not being forced to play away when you weren't ahead on the ladder in a QF??

But yeah, we are pretenders because we lost to a clearly very good side...

Pretenders don’t win flags silly

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

not just the Pies...

Wow what a damning stat, unbelievable level of pretend.

 

[lmach]

Not pretenders. Just beaten by a better team.

But it’s factually correct. It’s clearly a higher standard of accuracy than the puff piece HS shite churned out

s**t weekend for Victorian teams. There is a dark cloud over the state this weekend.

Good weekend. Depends on your point of view.

 

[rideclutch]

Lots of tiger posters... are they slightly worried?

Yep. Very impressive.

We're pretty good too though, so not backing down yet. Looking forward to it.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Kennedy is more important than Nic?

 

[YEOw]

Too good

Flag with an asterisk because you can't win away for a year and a half and gifted an unearned home QF

 

[captain blood 17]

No one beats up on teams ranked 12 to 18 like the pies.

They are shitting themselves that Collingwood finish 4th and negate their home ground advantage.

I thought they played pretty well. Get some KPP to fill out defence and give a forward target amd they'll be a very good side. Throw money at Lynch.

Personally I am impressed with the way Collingwood have been playing. Don’t quite understand the need for opposition supporters to kick a team when they are down but eh. Last year Collingwood were for most of the season a basket case. This year they will make finals. Regardless of how overhyped they may or may not be, it has been a huge turn around.

Personally I am happy for them.

By West Coast? Yeah a little. Very good side if Darling and JJK get up and about.

Pies are middling at best. Would love to meet them in a final.

 

[Jesse Custer]

I heard they have a few injuries. Poor Pies.

 

[XYZ123]

Could potentially lose all of their remaining games. None are certainties.

North at the G
Tigers at the G
Swans at SCG
Lions at Etihad
Port at the G
Freo at Optus

Freo at Optus maybe as only certainty as Lyon will have them tanked up. Interesting times..

 

[romeohwho]

Not pretenders, on the right path. Due for a loss. Will bounce back next week.

 

[WHOME]

Put a line through them, men v boys out there today.

What are they pretending to be? Don't know that I've heard any talk about finals coming out of Collingwood. Even if they were 'pretending' to be a team around 4th best in quality this year, not really sure how today changes that.

 

[Bearded Clam]

But 1/2 the mathematical ability.

And about half a dozen less teeth..

Don’t mistake laughter for worry.

No. WC and pies flogs flooded our gameday thread last night. Just returning serve


We will beat both those sides easily at the G.
