Game Day Round 9 vs. Geelong, Sat 09/05 at 7:35pm (MCG)

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I think if “we” can kick a bigger score than Geelong, “we’re” in with good chance of winning.

I’ll be doing my bit.

[Peters_Nuts]

Can’t wait to win today.

Potential wet weather game. Maybe Long and Anderson is the right play. No way is Bailey Smith

or Holmes going to put their head over it.

Pies by 7 points and to have our most tackles in a game for the season.

 

[Jafo]

Hopefully he moves seemlessly from player to asistant coach at the club then head coach when he retires. He has been an absolute gem of an acquisition and should be retained by the club in some capacity for many years to come.

Should do his apprenticeship elsewhere before returning to take over the reign at Pieland in the future

Reminds me of the best tackle game vs Cats one year

 

[Klink2]

Good luck tonight all. Huge respect between both clubs and these games are for the most part very close. Love our rivalry.

 

[satty]

We will have to commit 1 midfielder at every stoppage to constantly block mullin and give nick every opportunity to get a free release from stoppages.

It will be a very touch balancing act, which is why it is great we have pendles back to orchestra the rotation of matchups.

I think Long will be getting this gig a lot

Not sure that I can go so far as to wish you good luck, but good sportsmanship is always welcome on this board.

You too mate!!

Pies v Cats almost feels like an under appreciated rivalry. Both teams always always seem to lift.

Though if Jezza could finally have a stinker against us, that would be appreciated!

 

[BillyElliott]

Let's get a win against this mob tonight.

I want to see a tackling masterclass & goal accuracy from us.

Not much to ask, is it?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Said this before but arguably the best/biggest of the "modern" rivalries.

Blowouts are rare and mostly forged in finals games.

07 Prelim (still one of the best games of football I've ever seen, only beaten by 23 GF)
08 Unexpected big Collingwood win when you were dominant
09 Prelim
10 Prelim
11 Grand Final
19 Qualifying
22 Qualifying
23 Cameron goal from the stands match
24 Ollie Henry match

I believe the stat that no two teams have played in finals against each other still stands to this day

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Mitch Edwards is not playing for the Cats expect him to be an In for the Cats.

Steene & DC V Edwards & Stanley.

Who do you think they leave out?

 

[sr36]

Who do you think they leave out?

Scott funny buggers. Want us planning to be winning and attacking from centre square hitouts rather than defending them.

 

[MoreMoore]

Is it too late to bring in West?

Steene & DC V Edwards & Stanley.

Edwards was listed as managed from the seniors this week and was never intended to play VFL as far as I know.

SDK will likely support Stanley in the ruck, as he has done the past couple of weeks without Blicavs.

Hopefully! You never know with Mr.Scott

 

[satty]

Will also be very strange seeing bucks coaching against Collingwood for the very first time.

It will be the first time since 1993 that he will be facing Collingwood as an opposition.

 

[jmac70]

Heading in now.
Go hard boys and don’t leave anything behind.

Long to have a blinder.

Go Pies!

 

[windchimes]

Simultanously excited and nervous for this one.

I love our matches against Geelong and they’re generally crackers, but Mrs Chimes is a cats supporter so there’s no escaping if we lose!

Go pies - just get it done you good things.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

A genuine 50/50 game. Hard to pick a winner despite Geelong being market favourites.

A little worried about dropping Hayes. He's not a high disposal getter, but his crumbing abilities and speed up forward have been very handy for us in previous weeks.

Cameron and Steene need to take advantage with Blicavs injured and Stanley rucking on his own.

Gone for a very slow side, must be planning another Freo like performance but that one didn’t work and can’t see it working tonight either.

Just who exactly do you suggest we bring in to address the speed issue?

Of all the available players who are ready for senior , we are kinda playing most of the fast ones available.

Who knows what the situation is with hayes omission, but he is the only other player with speed who could come in.

 

[satty]

One of steele and lippa have to play a blinder against dempsey.

He is a lethal player if left unchecked.
