The Game
Wednesday night, I flew into Tulla and was caught behind a group of sun-ravaged, Brions’ goblins. I gave them a little troll, pretending to be part of their gormless tribe, and said that I feared Collingwood would unleash Hell beyond anything ‘we’d’ experienced.
The crusty goblins looked worried. They should be. At game end, there will be no humming away to Fitzroy’s bastardised song and clapping out of time. No renditions of Sweet Caroline nor John Denver. It will be back home to Brisbane and the nineteen fifties.
Many of us here attended the 02 and 03 GFs and saw arguably the best team to have played Aussie Rules. This Brisbane team is not great. Dickhead Zorko and Mo Lester are in nobody’s dream team.
But we have something of that great Brisbane team - we have the threepeat cred of Fly and LeppO. We also have their Richmond premiership experience. Sure, Chris Fagan would make a nice Deputy Principal, but he won’t outwit our coaches.
The common thesis is our backs need to outplay their forwards for us to win. This will be accomplished. Darce and crew are the best backline in the comp. We wouldn’t need nuclear subs if they were defending Australia. Maynard, Howe, and Q are elite. We love Murph’s courage – he deserves a special roar when he receives his medallion call-up.
Ginni’s selection is one for The Culture and also says we want more goals. Dangerous mix for the Bears with him, Jamie and Bobby hungrier than a fat priest. Checkers is ready for a huge game and rotating COX, Cameron, Frampton, and potentially Howe, gives us a lot of forward flex. We sense the Cult of Frampton is coming. Can see Beau barging his way to 3 goals as the sun tires lesser souls.
It’s our mids who are most misunderestimated. Journos have transmogrified McInerney to Dean Cox this week with the golden pet Neale supping at his slippers. Jaicos, Naicos, and Crispy (Brions’ steak knife FFS) won’t buy into this fiction and will ignite the G. The 2010 Normie and Normie Runner-Up, Pendles and Sidey, know how to win a flag and remain super nodes in the Collingwood hive brain. And Mitchell, part Plato part pit-bull, will tackle with fury.
De Goey will blitzkrieg the game and win this year’s Normie. This is the moment when he fully embraces his stellar potential.
Adventurous attack coupled with anaconda pressure will get the job done.
Watch in the spirit of Replay 2010.
Premiership 16 is coming home.
