Giants head to head are more talented but they’ll struggle late due to running out of legs.

What up dawgs

 

[And_ROOS]

I think GWS have the talent to cause the upset, but their MCG record is too atrocious and the Pies have the experience. Add in the crowd will be 99% Collingwood and this would be the biggest Prelim upset since Carlton over Essendon in 99.

 

[Tiger71]

I actually think they are better then a good chance to cause an upset

Odds-wise, Richmond-Magpies last year was a much bigger upset.

 

[Rotayjay]

Could this beat 2017's prelim final record as the most one-sided AFL crowd of all time?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Could this beat 2017's prelim final record as the most one-sided AFL crowd of all time?

MCG predicting 80k so no. Tigers had over 90k.

Your memory is really that bad?

 

[Dee Train]

Go Pies.

 

[Nebula1971]

No doubt they are a chance.

If you make it, who’d you prefer to play in the GF? I detect, your post is motivated by your preference to perhaps play the Giants.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Mate I dont care who we play in the GF. The fact of getting there after being there in 2017 is more then enough for me. I just believe after all there PF disappointments GWS have had they may finally click on the day.

 

[juss]

I think this is going to be the blowout prelim.

Pies by 43, the enormous one sided crowd would be pretty intimidating, and I reckon all Collingwood need is to start well which they often do, and then momentum and the roll on will carry them through to win comfortably.

Giants can't win this in the first quarter, but they can lose it. They need to get to half time break even or ahead. I don't see them chasing Collingwood down as the game gets later.

Greene playing is huge too. If he plays, Giants will be pretty buoyed and that might help them hold the Collingwood onslaught early.

 

[PieLebo87]

Prelim Game Day thread! Ow how I’ve been waiting for this! I can’t wait for Saturday! Should be a good game.

 

[Rotayjay]

Your memory is really that bad?

Not quite following. When I say 'most one-sided' I'm referring to raw numbers. That day there were over 85,000 Tigers fans and less than 5,000 Giants fans.

 

[RAPPA]

Toby missing puts them further behind the 8-ball. Brisbane had them covered in just about all the key stats but squandered their inside 50 opportunities.

They are very lucky to be in the Prelim.

Could repeat that luck and get in the GF.

Fingers well and truly crossed for that luck to continue

I think he’ll get off, which would be a huge boost for them. Who does de boer go to? I have a feeling it will be Adams.

 

[Giant Pete]

I’m not sure we will, but I’d love to see Toby play in a prelim on the G with all the heat around him that’s been going on... he’s capable of literally anything.

 

[Stoods]

I think he’ll get off, which would be a huge boost for them. Who does de boer go to? I have a feeling it will be Adams.

I doubt it will be Adams. Whilst he is an accumulator and really digs in and wins some important ball he isnt as dangerous by foot as Pendlebury and Sidebottom. I think he goes to Sidebottom

 

[ExcitementMachine]

*than.*

 

[Stoods]

I actually think they are better then a good chance to cause an upset

absolutely they are a chance, they have made it to a prelim for a reason and if we aren't on they can definitely beat us, I would think the same goes for your game as well.

finals footy is like that, you never know what will happen. I believe if we show up and play our brand we can beat them, fingers crossed.

 

[ExcitementMachine]

Whoever DeBoer goes to I hope Wills offers a nice lil chopout. I suspect that will be fait accompli that Deboer will get slammed at some point in a crunching tackle.
