Game Day AFL 2019 Round 17: West Coast v Collingwood, 6:10 AWST Optus Stadium

[VicBased]

A bit selfish of WA to start this one at 810pm....

Yeah...that whole 2 hour time difference thing. They should let west aussies off work two hours earlier.

 

[Billy ray]

Be thankful as they used to start at 840

 

[The Falcon Strike]

My main concern for tonight is being outrun

We have one bloke who only plays 50% - another struggling to regain his tank and another who is only young and needs another pre season or two

Add to that we are going in with one less small - a run and stun game like we saw against Melbourne could open us right up

Bloody lack of respect for the history of start times of our great game by interstate clubs!

 

[The 747]

Any earlier and the stadium would be empty.

I know but it is still selfish to make us wait over here

We are not making you wait - we are giving you an opportunity to get a feed and a few beers in before it starts.

I thought Scharenberg was solid last week for Collingwood and was one of their better defenders. Why was he dropped?

 

[Boppo]

This is set to be a beauty.

Gave Stephenson his sportsbet password

He’s listed in the VFL, but I think they are maybe just being cautious with the hard surface of Optus.

I’m a bit of a pessimist most of the time when it comes to the eagles, but think a lot of eagles fans are talking s**t here in saying it’s a danger game.

We will win this without ever really being threatened. We’re in great form, pies are in poor form, and we’re at home.

Anything can happen on the day.

 

[HBF]

Nic Nat vs Grundy should be enthralling

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

We will hear deafening boos while West Coast destroy Collingwood.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Anything can happen on the day.

No doubt, but they are massive underdogs and should be considered as such.

This game is important but only for psychological reasons. A win will maintain the advanced WC has over Collingwood but winning will also put more pressure on WC as they’ll no longer be flying under the radar. This has worked to their advantage in recent times. So it’s a double-edged sword. Got to drop a couple of games before finals to lesson their profile but also to challenge WC to keep finding grit and to push themselves to find innovative ways to win.

Well securing 2nd spot and a home final first week is huge, so a lot on the line. Though the MCG doesn't phase us, it's still a factor.

Yeah strewth, no traffic that time right? Bloody West Aussies. How dare they. Making Vics wait 20 more minutes

Selfish. Get on with it, start booing please.

 

[MadMundy]

Would love to see West Coast win big here. Collingwood have been in poor form and watching them drop down even further would be great to watch. I know yes my team is suffering the same, but still hoping for a West Coast win.

Smart by bucks, get in umpires ear early

Fair enough. I thought he was starting to build some good form after coming back from injury.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Bucks knows the score - Margetts and Eagles = bad news

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

It’s not the foo fighters Hamish you idiot

 

[The 747]

Smart by bucks, get in umpires ear early

And it begins....

Margetts isn't even that bad bro, it's just a myth nowadays.
