We cannot continue winning. Sydney in Sydney is a huge test. And if there’s a flu running through the club then some of the players won’t be going at 100%. I reckon this is the week we finally drop one, but not because we were due or because of the flu, but because Sydney get the job done.
It's honestly a toss of the coin for me. We're in very good form and our best footy is unbelievable but you can say the same of Collingwood at the moment. Huge stakes for both teams. An early final basically.
You could easily argue we’ve won 3 of the last 7 at the SCG if you wanted lol don’t know why you picked the last 6 only and assumed the Pies would have some fears of the SCG.
1st of 10
It's wetter than other wets.
I just started from the last time we had to play at the ANZ. Thought that would be the fairest time to start. As the point I was making was Sydney hated playing at ANZ.
Zero divided by zero is undefined I’m afraid, not zero.
I know what this means. I used to experience it Saturday nights back in my heydays before I got married.
Fair enough. Pies don’t mind the SCG based on their record there from the last 5. Don’t think it holds any fears.
Yes swans have beaten 4 times out of 6 at the SCG since the games moved from ANZ.
Maybe fear was the wrong word, but people saying that Collingwood love playing in Sydney is probably over now.Yes swans have beaten 4 times out of 6 at the SCG since the games moved from ANZ.
But 4 of these games went right down to the wire with Collingwood and Sydney winning 2 each.
Collingwood’s other 2 losses were last year and in 2016. Last year was a 5 goal loss in a year Collingwood only won 6 games. The other loss was in round 1 2016 when the drug scandal broke. Yes the pies lost by 80 points but it was a pretty poor year overall.
Those two losses actually have been Collingwood’s biggest in Sydney this century. Generally when Collingwood are in the eight and play the swans in Sydney, Collingwood will always win.
2018 was the exception but the final margin in that game was less than a goal.
I expect another really close game. The odds are ludicrous. These were the odds that were dished up each year by the bookies even when the pies won at anz 7 consecutive times. But that’s ok, I’m more than happy to snap up the odds of $2.90
It’s thrown me out as well. I’m confused by those odds. Feels like I’m missing something.
It must be that flu, added to the fact the way we play seems to possibly work well against pies style. Could go either way though. What were the odds against Melbourne last week?
Similar odds, this one is probably a little more slanted towards Swans though.
