Na it starts in the QF which is over by qtr time, then they win a soft semi... THEN the prelim which is over in 10 minutesI feel the same about the cats. It's usually the prelim isn't it?
Don't care.I feel the same about the cats. It's usually the prelim isn't it?
The Dees are still hot and cold with their pressure. The Pies match them well over the park, and can stop them marking the ball around the wings. And shut down their forward momentum.Been saying it for a couple of weeks now. Pies due for a loss, this might be it. Demons by 3 goals.
Me neither. Not many doDon't care.
Gees - if we're bruise free, where does that leave your blokes?The Dees are still hot and cold with their pressure. The Pies match them well over the park, and can stop them marking the ball around the wings. And shut down their forward momentum.
The Pies will burst Melbourne's bubble this week, showing the Dees are still a bit bruise free.
Petty, May and Lever in produces results most of the time. The mids really got to work last week too.If Grundy is ready - id bring him in this week
Cox has done a good job - however i watched the Port game - and i thought in the 2nd half Cox had just about run out of petrol tickets - and his ruck partner - the younger bloke - kicked a nice goal and played better
Miochech to come back in this week - and hopefully Howe is right to play - they are both very important at each end of the ground
Melb reigning premiers and all the rest of it - they get their act together they are clearly then the team to beat again this year
When Melb have struggled this year - its their forward line - the goals dry up - Weidaman didnt set the world on fire last week - thus their onballers and Fritch have to kick the goals
Melb were impressive against Frem - i think that form is a bit iffy though - Port- kicked 6 unanswered goals against them in perth - and Freo looked a bit of a rabble
It should be a good game - i mean 2 weeks ago the Dogs beat Melb - thus i dont know if you can say the Freo win has got everything back in allignment yet

I don't understand this logic. Even last year after finishing 17th, they never got smashed.At some point, the Pies are going to get smashed. I think it will be this week against the Dees.
We’re bottom 6 for contested possessions in the comp and something like bottom 3 for clearances since Grundy went down. You’d think the Dees will have a field day on Friday night.The best contested side in the game is bruise free
Nah we're still susceptible to good fast ball movement which is the prototype for the Pies. I reckon there's a 8 goal band from a 6 goal win to the Dees to a 2 goal win to the Pies based on how good our pressure is on Friday night.We’re bottom 6 for contested possessions in the comp and something like bottom 3 for clearances since Grundy went down.

I'm not confident, the Pies match up very well against us and are playing with maximum confidence. Will be a good game that could go either way.We’re bottom 6 for contested possessions in the comp and something like bottom 3 for clearances since Grundy went down.

I love how people say 'Melbourne are back' after one good performance in a row.Should be a good one. Melbourne appear to have flicked the switch and are now focused on making their premiership run.
Probably ends up being one of those games where Collingwood find themselves on the other end and have to try to hold onto a lead in the final quarter.

We were all told 'Melbourne were back' after they thumped Brisbane at the 'G, and their form has been very patchy between then and last week.
Melbourne's best is probably the best in it, but they are still a long way from where they were in September 2021.
I really dont think we are ‘bruise free’. We might be a lot of things, but we aren’t bruise free.The Dees are still hot and cold with their pressure. The Pies match them well over the park, and can stop them marking the ball around the wings. And shut down their forward momentum.

ROAR!I feel the same about the cats. It's usually the prelim isn't it?

Then Scott uses a big word and makes excuses, before topping up again with a few more 33yo's
Little David smashed Goliath.No shame to finally drop a game against the Dees. They are the reigning premier, a fantastic playing group and they are back in form looking like a real contender once again. We can't keep winning, it is impossible, the inevitable loss is on the way, it has been coming for probably 6 weeks and it will most likely arrive on Friday night.
Really though, what hope does little 'ol Collingwood have against such a powerful force such as the Dees? How can we compete against them when we can only win a game of footy by a few points every time against lowly opposition? What chance does David have over Goliath? How do we take down this monster of a unit? I don't know, but I have a funny feeling......
