Cez destroyed them in one half in his return game last year in round 20 - 20 touches, 6 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 4 score involvements, 2 tackles.

Will hope for the same other than the injury he sustained.

 

[RAPPA]

Aphrodite , are you getting ready for Easter or have you just given up trying to discipline outsiders?

She's planning on interrupting the transmission of the prayers over the speakers at the churches with the broadcasting of the game.

 

[charred_fate]

After an ok start, Elijah is really starting to show the ‘star’ signs that align with his early draft selection. You can tell that he knows he’s good.

If this trajectory continues, it’s going to be huge for us, as soon as this year I reckon.

He's really showing his point of difference now. Favourite goal so far was last week's snap on the left from 35m out which went through goal post height. Pretty special!

 

[Big Bryza]

It sure was …

Faux ‘tough’ guy Maynard

Remember also Naicos running away from Cripps.

That's premiership players Maynard and Daicos to you.

 

[RPCB]

All I have is that Sunday is Galactico Booty Call time. Can’t wait.

 

[Aphrodite]

What is it with these FILTH trolls


BE. GONE.

Sleeps with the light on does N Daicos

 

[Sam The Doc]

Pity about Mitch. Next week please!!

This thread’s getting more activity from the Collingwood supporters than Centrelink

Bit creepy that you know that, but good one champ.

Rumour is there is a long wait at the dentist today.

 

[goreds]

Need Cunningham back on the forward line, was flying before the injury, coaches were very happy…

 

[goreds]

Rumour is there is a long wait at the dentist today.

Can confirm centrelink payments dropped today…

 

[Benaly28]

Close to what exactly? Another loss in the prelim?....

A premiership sorry didn’t know I had to spell it out.

lmao 2023 Premiers. and we would've done alright since we beat em by 20 in round 3.

Good on ya so have 4 other teams this year

I. SAID.

[Just Kreuzing]

I’d say we have enough contest players and need a few on the outside with some class.

Cerra, Cunners & Fantasia fit that bill.

If they get 45-50 golden touches between them - you know it’s going to flow forward through the corridor like a golden thread .

Cerra will need to have a monster game to reach that 45-50 golden mark given Fantasia is usually only good for 5 touches and Cunners will be lucky to play imo.

 

[Juice030103]

Pies fans that are reading this are you ready for Cripps to make your hero look like a little cat again, or is he gonna actually put his head over the ball this time

 

[carlton_99]

Could be nothing but there is an interview with Cinc on the AFL app and part of it involved asking him "why he loves playing against Collingwood". Might be an inclusion hint

 

[Ezayyak]

Cez destroyed them in one half in his return game last year in round 20 - 20 touches, 6 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 4 score involvements, 2 tackles.

Was about to mention that. Missed the second half of the game through injury.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

If what I am told is true the review was "Brutal" and team defence was a big focus.

I expect the side to come out hard this week

It's a disappointing trend with sportsmen (same in every code). Constant need to have brutal reviews because non negotiable and basics start falling out of the game.
