Next 24 hours

 

[juss]

Cracking game for a Thursday night, will change my tip multiple times but right now I'm on the Cats, just.

 

[nahnah]

you can usually tell who will win Pies v cats based on the first quarter, pies usually get out to a big lead if they are to win and if not the cats usually get the win in these match ups

 

[Vitalogy]

Interesting stats on wet weather footy:

 

[catstorm]

Rain will suit Geelong you would think given Collingwood's proclivity to overuse it.

Hawkins in good enough form to negate and keep Moore honest.

Cats by 26.

have you seen Geelong play? A can assure you they faff about with the ball Plenty. Wet weather will not suit Geelongs slow “methodical” approach to ball movement.

no but it might force us into abandoning that tactic

 

[Wosh]

I really hope we get a great game tonight, Cats by 2 goals for me though my tipping suggests that means Collingwood in a landslide

 

[Farang83150]

Really looking forward to watching a game(even though from the couch) with a crowd, cant wait...CARRRNNNN THE PIES!!

 

[juss]

Any ideas on the crowd? Will it be a bunch of Freo and Eagles fans just desperate for live footy?

 

[The 747]

How long has it been since we played Collingwood NOT at their home ground? How many years?

I would imagine there would be a majority who are actually Geelong or Collingwood supporters... but i guess we'll find out.

15 years ago, we played them at Docklands.

 

[JohnZ]

Geelong will win this by 36 points

Collingwood have zero chance against the cavalcade of stars Geelong have in their line up

Here I thought we were a chance.

Thanks for the jinx.

 

[JohnZ]

15 years ago, we played them at Docklands.

Docklands is the Magpies home ground, even if their fans don't show up because taking the train another stop down the line is too far for them

 

[masai]

How do "Poodles" go in the rain ?. Gotta watch for dye in the eyes.

Pussycats by 3 goals.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Docklands is the Magpies home ground, even if their fans don't show up because taking the train another stop down the line is too far for them

Docklands is much as our home ground as the MCG is yours

 

[JohnZ]

Docklands is much as our home ground as the MCG is yours

Something we can agree on.

Plenty of pies supporters live here, cats not so much. I think there will be a fair few eagles and dockers supporters there too, I know a couple of north supporting mates going tonight as well. There will be close to 30k there I reckon.

 

[Billy ray]

i reckon 27,549

wont rain much either

I predict a Boo fest...Geelong, Collingwood, Umpires and weather. After all this time they will go nuts.

 

[andon]

2 really talented teams, but got a feeling the Cats by 10 to 15 points in a good hard fought game.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Jack Steven back swings this 5 goals Collingwoods way surely.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and say that won't be the case...

 

[NonPhixion]

I think Geelong & Collingwood play pretty similar ‘games’
Both love chipping the ball around & keeping it off the opposition, both very strong defensively. Interesting to see how the rain affects this.

 

[Gavin Excell]

So 30% pies, 20% cats , 50% theatregoer?
