Pies win by 25 points

 

[The 747]

For a change this should be an intriguing contest, as long as you can hold your nose at the exploitation of war in order to make some money.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Pies by 53

 

[jakson68]

I think Essendon will get over the line this year.
Though I don't believe this is a true reflection of where the two teams are at, I believe that our lack of talls ATM, may allow us to be exploited.
Sometimes, it is when you play a team that gets you the win and not always talent alone.

I won't be disappointed with a loss, as I still have great belief in what the club is looking to achieve.
I still look forward to September.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Genuine 50/50 imo should a great contest

 

[Arr0w]

Genuine 50/50 imo should a great contest

Yeap, given the formline of both sides, should be another cracking game

 

[Macca18]

Collingwood are $1.45 favourites with the bookies heading into this one and already have 80% of the over 750,000 footytips.com.au tips, so they should be winning this one fairly easily.

Particularly when you consider they finished top 4 last season and we were bottom 4, plus the expectations of both clubs coming into 2023.

 

[Jackie_Moon]

Might change later in the year but right now we're a 50/50 shot at beating anyone.
Ess by 24pts

That's called a "Collingwood Bubble".

The Bombers just flogged the premiership favourites, have form as good as anyone's, and played well twice against Collingwood last year (without winning), it's a 50/50 in my book.

Hoping for any sort of win.

 

[Billy ray]

What a terrible jumper clash

[evolved2]

Should be close. I think Collingwood will take this one by a couple goals.

I think I agree with you. No rucks and now with USA out as well, it's going to be a challenge. Yes we have outs too, but your extreme lack in talls could well hurt. The Pies will definitely be working to put pressure on the ball and ball carrier.... shall be a good game though I am sure.

Those odds are way too short.

I think we'll struggle. Having no ruckman against a team whose rucking combination has been a real strength is going to be difficult to overcome.
Then having Mcstay and Murphy out depletes our talls even further. Adams is a big loss countered by Merret's exclusion.

It really should be 50/50 with maybe the Bombers being slight favourites given their recent form.

 

[Big John Studd]

A well drilled Collingwood side should be too strong for an Essendon outfit missing last seasons top 3 B&F place getters.

 

[Macca18]

Essendon outfit missing last seasons top 3 B&F place getters

Shhh. Don’t try and change the narrative that Collingwood have all their “important” players missing this game.

They are heavily favoured to win this game for a reason. Why? They are currently flag favourites which suggests they have a very deep list - which I agree with.

And for good measure, when De Goey returns and likely plays well next week, we will get days and days of media fanfare about his “ANZAC spirit” for beating this alleged case of diarrhoea to play in the game. Bank on it.

 

[Don Won]

Anzac Day has traditionally been a game where you throw out ladder position from your calculations. Collingwood have got to be considered a chance.

 

[windyhill]

Best Mid and best forward missing. Ess by 8.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Close to 100k they reckon.

2000 was the last time both Pies and Essendon were in the top 4 heading towards Anzac Day

 

[Milanista28]

Will probably be the weakest 23 the Pies put out in 2023 so this is our best chance. Our issue is we are missing 2 of our very best players.

Should be fun, the pressure the Pies will bring will be elite regardless of who is missing so I can't wait to see if we can match and/or perform against it.

 

[boncer34]

Pies by plenty.

Countered by Merrett's exclusion?

What about Wright?

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Countered by Merrett's exclusion?

What about Wright?

Referencing the weekend fallout not the total list of outs.

 

[Ginnieboy]

$1.45 odd are ridiculous, I think we’ll win but it won’t be without a heart palpitation or 2.

 

[boncer34]

Countered by Merrett's exclusion?

What about Wright?

Pies fans mentioning Zerrett and Adams in the same breath is like Collingwood having Nick Daicos rubbed out and we counter it with Sam Durham.
