2018 Grand Finalists - West Coast vs Collingwood ##Optus Stadium Friday 12th July## Round 17, 2019 ( Edited page 15 current discussion )

[Ok Boomer]

Tipping us unless Elliott cuts us to pieces like he usually does.

Moore has to be at his best and Roughead should help as well

Pies got sliced out back due to lack of size in the GG and now they have it....

Interesting

You know we have another tall in there now dont you?

You have to cover kennedy, darling and oscar allen now.

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

Saturday night will be all about the clash between undefeated heavyweights Brisbane and Port Adelaide. I can't wait.

This match will be an afterthought.

Prolly wont even watch it tbh.

Clashes with mafs

 

[Xtreme]

Eagles by 77

 

[Coach_Required]

After watching West Coast this weekend, my tip doesn't change

West Coast by 3 or 4 goal

 

[Stifler's mom]

I’m not prone to confident predictions, but I think the Pies win by 6 goals.

 

[BG__]

Collingwood by 30. West Coast can't win games in Melbourne at the G

 

[WCE Wizard]

Havent you heard we cannot play the MCG Pies are the hot favorites

 

[Coaster2012]

Personally think Collingwood will win this one. They are due for a win over us and looked better than us on the weekend.

Pretty much all out defenders are about Oscar Allens height so its a none issue id imagine. Maynard/Crisp/Langdon/Howe are all listed around 189cm/190cm tall.

My prediction is Moore to Kennedy, and Howe to Darling. My question to coasters supporters is how often will Vardy/Hicket spent forward opposed to one resting on the bench? Roughead will be the likely match up for the resting ruckman.

Langdon looks like the man that will go with Allen.

It depends on the game situation, Hickey will play forward to try and stop Langdon from intercepting.

O allen is probably a better contested mark than kennedy or darling.

As gws found out yesterday.

 

[MWPP]

I'm making the trip over and am nervous but excited about this one. Eagles by 11 in an upset.

 

[gopies1981]

Richmond are irrelevant mate

From memory, Moore played on Kennedy in the h&a MCG last year. Roughead’s the intriguing one as to who he matches up on.

We apparently looked at Roughead in the trade period? An astute buy.

 

[lmach]

No midfield, can’t win at the G.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Really? Wouldn't have thought there was much difference, if anything wc looked cleaner in transition. IMO

 

[Carringbush2010]

Last time I looked both teams had midfields.

 

[unplugged]

No midfield, can’t win at the G.

You can be as sarcastic as you like, you haven't won at the MCG for about 6 months

And why would it be an upset?

 

[Shaneprice97]

Fair enough, I’d imagine Roughead would attempt to man up Hickey/Vardy when he rests forward as hes 200cm himself.

O allen is probably a better contested mark than kennedy or darling.

As gws found out yesterday.

If Allen proves to be difficult, i can imagine they shuffle Langdon/Howe/Maynard/Crisp around between Darling and Allen depending on whos most dangerous. Both Langdon and Howe read the ball well and i rate them as 1v1 players(Howe underrated in this regard) if the match up is suitable. I’m hoping the extra support in Moore/Roughead lets Collingwoods 190cm types off the chain abit more compared to GF day.

 

[kranky al]

If we were playing you at optus id have us with a slight edge

Playing you at the g i think you guys have a slight edge.

Bookies have you favs
