Collingwood vs. Carlton: Thoughts?

[Jabso]

Any thoughts concerning Carltons upcoming match against Collingwood?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Yes

 

[Nic]

Yeah ... a recently set record is about to be broken.

Just kidding.

 

[Bee]

No need to kid about it, Nic. The way things are going at the moment it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Nic]

Yeah, but when I predict things, the opposite tends to happen.

I did however predict Friday night's margin! ... Just not on Bigfooty.

 

[Thrawn]

This time I'll think we'll actually come out and play. Watch out for Fevola, he loves kicking goals against Collingwood.

Err... game hasn't started yet. Even if we lose (which we probably will), Fevola will still have fun kicking goals against you. He needs to perform like he did last week for the remainder ofthe season to have any chance of grabbing the Coleman.

It will be a hard-fought entertaining match with the Blues showing patches of good form but Collingwood ultimately winning comfortably, but not spectacularly.

 

[Ivy]

I would love the result to be a Carlton win, but I can't see it happening. Please, as long as it isn't a belting I'll be happy.

 

[Blues4Life]

Not expecting a win by any means, but as long as they a real go and are only beaten due to lack of talent, not lack of heart then I'll be quite happy.

5 goals I'm tipping.

With the magpies in good form, I'd expect Collingwood to scrape in against a emerging Carlton outfit, with Kouta and Campo to get 50-55 disposals between them Collingwood's midfield wont run as it has in previous weeks. Ill be happy with another good performance from the AFLS leading player in clearances (Kouta) and for Carlton to dig deep into collingwood.

Maggies by 15points

I'll be back in Melbourne at the weekend, so I will get to see this match. Last time I was back and at the footy Carlton actually won. It would so nice, if it could happen again. I live in hope!

 

[Thrawn]

Why not put Fevola in the backline? I'm sure he'd blanket the Collingwood attack easily... after all, how else could you explain the lack of pinpoint passes to the forward fifty over the last couple of weeks?

 

[Deej]

I hope we go down fighting, and stay in line for a priority draft pick.

 

[Jabso]

Pfffft. Presti will bamboozle and overwhelm the Carlton forward line. The reborn Presti with his new found rebounding power. Watch him spin! Watch him baulk oponents. Watch him turn oponents inside out on the wing and run off them!

 

[Korn]

We play the best footy at the MCG, this will be a good game!
Fevola 5 goals.

 

[29SRussell]

Fevola loves kicking goals against us - pity no one else does

 

[Nic]

Hickmott ... has he retired effective immediately or at the end of the season? Cos he kicked 5 against us last time ...

Oh, and Presti will kill Fevola .. or close enough.

Gee, it would have been nice to have a backline today, with Clement, Cloke and then Presti* not being able to play (* = Presti went off after corking his knee).

 

[Outoftheblue]

Gee, it would have been nice to have a backline today

Yes, would have made all the difference.

 

[Northern Pie]

Well from what I saw it was an enjoyable game....does not matter about the scoreline in games like this really.. I always find them entertaining...I actually dislike all the rubish that goes on at the ground and ppl taking things to far with personal slurs etc...but abit of sledgiing in fun is ok.....I personally was disapointed that your team is struggling...I would love to see a good competitive struggle against our two sides...like back in the 70's/80's and the Pies and the Blues playing the finals would certainly put some life back into the competition that has had it's passion and traditon killed off by AFL supported interstate sides..so hurry back Carlton....

cheers

(disclaimer...this post in no way takes away from my absolute loathing of the Carlton Football Club but there is a little respect there...lol)

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Unofficially I appreciate your good sportsmanship and encouragement Northern Pie. Officially ..... how dare a Collingwood supporter come here feeling sorry for us. We don't want or need your sympathy. We will be back at our arrogant and most hated best before you know it!!

 

[Thrawn]

Fevola was beating Presti...

... pity the midfield couldn't deliever the ball to him too often. Despite this, he did kick 3.4 and took 8 makrs inside 50 out of Carlton's 11. Not a bad effort for a player in those circumstances. His hair was a factor.

 

[Northern Pie]

Ahhh me thinks you misunderstood....not feeling sorry for you guys at all...just want to see a decent football game between our two sides......As much as I hate Carlton..oh and I do...our clubs are the AFL mate.....the others are all wannabe's and that is all they ever will be....oh and as you can see we Pies supporters are already back to where you wanna be.....

cheers mate
