Game Day AFL Round 1 - Matchday Discussion Collingwood@Hawthorn(MCG – 7:25PM)

Priorities for the night - getting access to the TV over my wife.

Nervous

Same. Nervous and Excited

I think we can definitely play Cox. Big blokes don't get any smaller in the rain.

But I'd strongly be considering bringing Brown in for Crocker.

You're not worried about shrinkage?

 

[Mongo Ming]

I’ll be sneaking looks at the game and this thread during Download Fest. Then watching the replay with a hangover tomorrow.

Just hoping it’s a good hair of the dog not a bad one.

Go Pies!!

 

[RGpies]

And that my friend is why we are where we are, Hine has a lot to answer for.

De Goey is clearly best 22 and Scharenberg can be excused

 

[blackwhite2010]

View my place not far from the MCG. That's the direction the weather been coming in from.
Cox plays !!

 

[Nuffsaid]

I can’t help thinking there’s still a late injury or something to come which will enable Blair to get to the line!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Fun fact:

Since 2012 our only first choice draft picks playing in this game are Stephenson (who we don't know can play yet), Moore and Grundy. Those not playing include Kennedy, Broomhead, Freeman, Scharenberg, De Goey, Sier, Mclarty. Fantastic drafting.

Plus Adams Treloar Aish and Hoskin Elliot all first round picks traded in.

And De Goey is easily best 22.

McLarty was a second round pick just a year ago. Unfair to write him off.

 

[CFC2010]

Enough with the weather updates people let’s just smash them like we did in the 2011 Prelim.

My favourite game ever!

Go Pies

Ok just started drinking the piss.. bit of a late start.. 5 hrs before game time.. a start nonetheless.

Luv yas

My thoughts exactly. I too have just started.
It is a Saturday.

God no

Too close for me.

I'd rather smash them like our last three quarters of our first matchup last year. Just without giving them the headstart.

Bit of a late start for you as well.. half a slab before the game starts is my aim.. yours re?

We know De Goey can play, Mclartys developing. Yeah silly post.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

That sounds magnificent, may this be your lucky night

Doubt it's that lucky

 

[ottoman]

I want to feel confident about tonight, but I have a feeling I am going to feel let down.
Hopefully I am wrong.
Please win.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

COME ON PIES LET'S DO THIS!

 

[TradeDraft]

Good to see the Radar that most of the Rain is Gone so I be heading in tonight

Hawks have the Wood Over Us so Worried about that

 

[jackcass]

Real 50/50 game. Slippery conditions could potentially help us with better midfield depth but it'll also bring their small forwards into the game.

 

[bunter]

Looks an ok side considering the outs through injury. Hope forward structure clicks. Really hoping WHE & Aish can step up and provide a link and some good delivery.
All the best from the west and Enjoy the game all,
and go the mighty woods.

Crap weather here, cyclone remnants on the way but the surf is pumping.

Like Rioli that could Carve us up in the Wet

Onya TD, you can’t miss round 1 when it’s at the G - are you going with your mate or sitting on your own?

Plenty of women in the world.

There is only one Collingwood Football Club.

P.S-Have you considered sleeping tablets?

Don't know why but I am quite confident we will win tonight. Just a gut feel nothing more complex.
