Should be a decent game I think.

 

[Vitalogy]

I've got a funny feeling Collingwood will win, next week will be a sell-out. Premiership hangover. Anyone else?

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Looking forward to this game.

Not sure who I want to win. Hopefully just a cracking game.

 

[RUNVS]

This would have been a much better first game of the season.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Thinking the Pies will get up for this one, not particularly fussed who will win though. Ideally I'd love to see a draw.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dogs but not confident. This is the first of many 50/50 games

 

[Nostradumbass]

Looking forward to seeing the pies prized recruits Mayne and Wells in action tonight. Eddie Van Halen

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Remind me why Collingwood paid half a million bucks for Mayne to not even be in the best 22....

This has the potential to be the worst recruitment since Callum Sinclair (grrr don't remind me!)

Didn't see Daisy last night?

Didn't see Daisy last night?

I did..at least Thomas was good once upon a time!

I'd consider Collingwood a sneaky chance to win this game. Think it'll be quite even for most of it but I reckon the Dogs will be too good in the end.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Hoping for a Pies win, Dogs might take a week or 2 to hit their straps, massive game for us, if we lose we have to at least be competitive, if we get crushed the jungle drums will beating loud and clear.

 

[HBF]

Looking forward to this one, although I do love Friday night footy.

 

[WWSD]

Collingwood have named a fairly decent team on paper despite not having Elliot, De Goey, Wells and Langdon. The Pies are a sneaky chance of winning.

 

[aCunningPlan]

And for those one-eyed Pies inside their bubble.

 

[ShockersBoy11]

I've tipped the Doggies but think the Wobbles have a chance, but the Dogs have the Bont.

 

[RUNVS]

I bet Collingwood are hoping for a better round 1 in 2017 than 2016

 

[JaxsonB]

Tough to say. With the missing players from Collingwood and a pretty strong team from the Bulldogs you'd expect them to win (and I've tipped as such), but it's round 1 so you never know.

I will say that the dogs managed to start hitting their stride in their last half of football. Didn't compete much against Gold Coast in the first half, but came back a little in the third and then stormed home with a wet sail in the fourth.

I bet Collingwood are hoping for a better round 1 in 2017 than 2016

I bet Sydney are hoping for a better finals performance in 2017 than 2016

Not quite comparable.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I think the Bulldogs should get up tonight by around 4 goals. Will be interesting to see what Travis Cloke will bring to his new team.

 

[Moshie The Mook]

Am disappoint gun recruit Chris Mayne named emergency.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Got a feeling Pies will win.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Not quite comparable.

Neither team won the flag in 2016 so it doesn't really matter which game either team performed badly in. It's a new season, move on.
