This is like some kind of footy bingo.

I should know this but if Collingwood lose tonight, do they lose the hosting rights for the prelim (should they make it)?

we haven't played the carringbush in a final of any sort for 35 years............I'm getting this sense of inevitability..............

Huge ramifications tonight then. Knowing they'll have to travel to either Brissy or Adelaide*
*if they're to make the GF that is.
Probably more so than most years due to the teams in 2nd and 3rd.

Not sure how well I'd handle that whole week...
Where does "the Carringbush" come from?

From a 20 year old post on BF:
Carringbush was a make believe name, let me expalin for those who dont know about the history of well know collingwood identity John wren who rose to infamy pre war. Frank Hardy wrote a book called power without glory detailing the life story of john wren and his tea shop come betting shop in collingwood as well as a marital indescretion concerning mrs wren which in those days as was scandal at its best.
Also alegations of caulfield cup rigging and suburban thuggery so the author in fear of being sued for libel had to change all names in the book relating to all people in the story, therefor John wren became jack west, collingwood became carringbush archbishop mannix became archbishop malone and so on and so on.
Any one intersted in collingwood pre war depression days should try and obtain the book as it is indeed most fascinating reading.
It is well know that john wren would go down to the collingwood dressing rooms after a victory and shake players hands with a pound note or two.

I would prefer to see the filth lose tonight.
Of course beating them in a GF would be awesome but there is the chance of us not getting over everyone else.
If we beat the swans which I am confident of to get the chance to face off against the filth at the MCG next week would be so exciting.
Also imagine how wobbly they are gunna get, facing a straight set dumping from the top of the table where they sat for most of the year!!!!
Go Dees!!!!!!

If they get things right, I reckon they could take advantage of Dees lack of outside run and carry types.

Think the Dees will struggle to kick a winning score.
The rain will certainly help play into Melbourne's hands though.

That's the flip side, ball may rarely get outside to their advantage

Their mids could tear the filth a newy.
Not convinced by the smiling wobblers - bluff and bluster.
This game will be won in the trenches - who do they have to counter Melbs mids?
That’s where it will be won. IMVHO
It's more than just a chance we don't make it to the GF, we are much more likely not to make it than make it. If we play like we did through our 9 game win streak we can beat anybody, but we are very inexperienced in finals.
I will be cheering hard for Melbourne tonight. If it's not us winning the flag then my next primary desire is for anybody other than Collingwood to be the premier. The winner of the match tonight will be sitting pretty.
