Beating the Draw

[The Panther]

I was just curious, and nobody is yet to provide me with the information.

You clearly tried to imply Collingwood's lack of travel was an advantage by merely raising the point. Anyway, that's the last time I respond to you, I've had my weekly dossage of dealing with supporters that support the AFL's most unsuccessful club. Cheers.

I didn't say you were factually incorrect period, just stated I think it would be. I mean, do you have the facts on hand? A link? A source? The only common knowledge is that the Dogs, Dees and Roos request the games.

I am not going to massage your ego by responding to any of those claims about St Kilda being an (and im paraphrasing here) inferior club etc. We do ok, and don't need certain fixturings to survive. But your care and attention is acknowledged and welcomed.

Certainly. I shall leave you to tear salvaging.

Inferior at everything

its a known fact, if you play the pies your getting a big crowd! it would be only natural to want to play them at the MCG... sport is a business

Collingwood came off 2 consecutive 6 day breaks before it played St.Kilda in round 3. St.Kilda 7 day, then 6 day break. Both St.Kildas' games at night during the warmest part of the year for footy season. Pies both day games.

Collingwood don't play Crows & West Coast away. Yeh, daunting task those even allowing for Crows form of late. We've beaten the Crows the last 3 times we've played them at AAMI, including a final.

West Coast: we've won the last 2 Subi games against them including a final.

We are the kings of travel.

The travel, days break thing is a load of crap. We played WCE on a Saturday night in Subi, in a final that went to extra time. Came back and played Geelong, coming off a 12 day break, in a prelim final and finished the stronger of the teams only to go down by 5 points. The Cats won their other 2 finals by 100+ points.

Somehow I think it comes down to how good you are, not the excuses you make.

Answer me this Failure, who'd you rather play, Crows & West Coast away or 2 of Geelong, Bulldogs & Hawthorn a 2nd time??

Facts are for the 2nd year in a row, we'll play more games against top 8 teams (providing the cheats hang onto 8th spot) then any other top 8 team.

Be a shame for this thorough verbal beating to be buried, so am quoting it for game, set and matchiness.

Everyone just got trolled. Not even a St. Kilda supporter can be this stupid. He probably thinks everybody is a 50/50 chance of winning the lottery - 'cos you either win it, or you don't!

Thanks Spicy.

I forgot the Crows 8 day break & Pies 6 day break in the SF last year. Pies again finshed stronger after a shorter break."Right in front of me!!"

I was very surprised when Malthouse came out and said this in the press. I would have expected these comments at the start of the season to deflect views that the pies draw is very favourable considering the lack of travelling. Why say it in the lead-up to the finals?

To get to the top, we have done well.

**** I'm unlucky.

Genuinely lol'd at this post.
