Unofficial Preview Collingwood vs Swans Friday March 15th 7:40PM

[Ticky009]

Kicking off some discussion pending the official Preview thread being posted in view of the Pies game next week and we'll be getting a good look at them tonight.

Have at.

I hope we win

 

[Ticky009]

I hope we win

2nd time in a row we've been made to watch the premiers hoist their winning flag. Hope the boys get the message, our turn this year.

I hope we win

I hope we gel and play a great brand of footy. Straight down the guts. Open them up. Warner straight out of centre bounce.
I want us to look good when we dismantle the Collingwood myth.

 

[Punts]

Be worried about our ability to be able to kick a winning score.

10 goals won’t get it done imo

Shouldn't be such wet conditions though

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Out: Armatey, Jordon

In: Reid, Sheldrick

Won’t happen, but DQ can dare to dream.

In regards Reid, I’m reading he went well in the VFL. Seems too good to remain in the magoos if he’s fit.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Pies off a 5 day break and facing a 0-2 start. I reckon we’ll get them.

Grundy will be pumped for this game too. So much upside for us incoming this week - Gulden had a shocker, Warner for 4 quarters, more midfield synergy with Grundy and drier conditions for the talls. Also expect Wicks to start given his impact against the dees.

Pies are a faster team, but the 5 day turnaround works massively in our favour esp at the start of the season.

I’m with Kingy’s usual call.

 

[caesar88]

I would bring Wicks in for Jordon but doubt it happens.

Agree if it’s dry.

If it’s wet - surely Wicks for Armatey?

 

[caesar88]

Definitely.

 

[RampeRobe]

Can’t see Jordon getting dropped.. he was serviceable.

Amartey the only player in danger of being dropped, and I endorse it!

Agreed. I suppose it depends on how everyone pulled up after the game and if we get a wet track at the G.

 

[The King!]

We will win this comfortably.


Just don't bother with the fake tough guy s**t

Backfired massively last year. Doubt we go down that route again.

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Well they (pies) have the umps onside as we speak, I want the Giants to rip them a new one. But I don’t think that will happen. So I bet we get Stevic & bouffant blonde guy ( who looks just like my ex nephew in law - and who has a face I really wanted to punch!)as part of the umpire entourage on Friday night.

 

[The King!]

Treat for the Pies to play the biggest side in the comp

 

[GoulburnSwan]

someone needs to give Maynard a right going over.

Cool. Well that will make a nice change.

 

[Citrus22]

Cool. Well that will make a nice change.

It will certainly make a nice change considering we'll be having 38 degrees three days in a row, looks like possible showers too that day.

 

[Donza]

Cool. Well that will make a nice change.

Yeah.

Most of rain will be Thursday evening. Friday morning.
Then murk

Wicks playing then I reckon.

 

[Donza]

Wicks playing then I reckon.

Depends.
Personally I'd drop Lloyd for Wicks.
But that won't happen.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I was a bit worried.

Without Ginnivan, would I still hate Collingwood?

Then I remembered.
