Collingwood?

[understudy]

You guys really seemed to struggle on the weekend.

How are you going to match us?

We are in great form and were fantastic on Sunday.

How are you going to close us down?

 

[The Passenger]

because we will play with an intensity that Collingwood hasn't been up against since Round 1, in which instance your side faltered quite badly.

Pies have had a very soft draw so far this season and will be facing the acid test - the Eagles at home.

Although looking impressive, it's hard to guage were a team as at when they've only been tested against the likes of mid table teams Port, Hawthorn and strugglers Carlton, Essendon and Kangaroos.

I would be shocked and extremely dissapointed if we were to go down this weekend.

You didnt look to intense or accountable against Freo (and they aint much of a measuring stick let me assure you).

Eagles are up against it this week, they will need to be intense and accoutable against the pies who are fantastic in these areas.

Key position strength of pies will also make it hard for you.

 

[juDDa]

ohhh it's funny when the pies are on top, so much confidence about their own team... to be honest this thread has been summed up perfectely by someone already, but who have the pies played so far??? i have no doubt the eagles will get on top this week.. with cousins, nicoski and hopefully hansen back we'll be a hard team to beat..

They beat you by 105 points last year.

Relevance?

They are 4-2 in 2006, their form has been mixed and only got over our under strength line up by a couple of goals at Subiaco in preseason, as such I pointed out that they are not a particularly high benchmark.

They are 3-3 in 2006, arent in particularly great form and only got over our under strength line up by a couple of goals at Subiaco in preseason, as such I pointed out that they are not a particularly high benchmark.

With the exception of round 1, they are playing far better footy so far this year. If you watched last week you'd have noticed.

And only bottom 8 sides talk up pre-season games. They're meaningless.

EDIT: They're 4-2 by the way.

Nor do I. But if they played their best footy every week, they'd be up there.

They played their best footy last week.

This is a silly discussion.

Talking up Freo really is clutching at straws, gotta agree there

 

[peterss]

Understudy seriously the only reaosn you guys are top of the table at present is ebcause you are yet to travel and havent played a team of any real quality apart form the crows and you lost that.

That Said im still expecting it to be reasonably close.

We just have to turn up to win, Collingwood hasn't beaten anyone of note and already lost to a top 4 side (Adelaide) number 2 coming up on Saturday.

Losing to Freo

 

[rgauci]

West Coast will absolutely smash Collingwood. They welcome back Cousins, Nicovski and should see LeCras get a run.

I can't see Collingwood getting within 5 goals.

This is an unbiased opinion from a Fremantle supporter. In reality who have Collingwood beaten?

Our KP defenders arent that bad.3rd best defence atm!!
Your mob cant travel therefore it will be a great win for WEst coast
Derbies are huge games and they are the best equipped team to beat us at Subi oval
Remember its been a very long time since a victorian side has beaten WCE at home
REMEMBER that

 

[Biggie]

Dont be blinded to the facty that Freo used to be rubbish.They have a better winning % than St kilda yet i dont see u dissing them.
Anyway they are a better side than you give credit for. They arent that bad a side
THeir coach is a little indifferent though i give you that

 

[RobV]

Eagles should win, and if they don't they will be dissappointed, if we get with in 5 goals of the eagles it will be a fantastic result, but in saying that all you eagles supporters should watch what you are saying doesnt come back to bite you in the arse, you do remember what happened last year dont you? You guys were confident as as got beaten by us, so do not under estimate us either.

I think we will lose by about 3 goals, and it will only open up in the last 10 mins or so.

 

[Milkman]

you eagles supporters should watch what you are saying doesnt come back to bite you in the arse, you do remember what happened last year dont you?

Yes I do.

A since banned poster started a thread claiming we'd be premiers, and all of the dullards on Bigfooty (are you one of them?) naturally assumed he spoke for all of us.

Sheesh, take a look in your own backyard.

Pies havnt been on top since Round 5 2000 so where the hell do you pull that from.........

Not talking about the whole year, talking about Collingwood Vs Eagles. 90% of the eagles supporters were confident that you would beat us(since 1st vs 16th, why wouldnt you be), but you didnt.

It looks to be the same this year, most of the eagles posters in this thread are saying that you will beat us pretty easy(same as last year), for there sake you better hope that the eagles win.

Over confident you lot are.

 

[Obi-Haive]

Over confident you lot are.

Overconfidence! That's rich I'll say!

We didn't invite you to come over here and hang it on us yet you seem to think that because you are on top of the ladder you have every right to.

And lets get one thing straight, even though you're top of the ladder
- You have to beat us not the other way around!

BTW a good footy team in this day and age can win both away and at home. The pies are yet to prove that! Infact we have nothing to prove, we've travelled and one and only lost to a side in a game that was pretty evenly matched, even though we had injuries. You've had a nice cushy ride so far in playing lower rung teams, no injuries and no travel.

*My first post everyone*

I'm a very biased Eagles supporter, and the one key to defeat Collingwood - close down their forward line and drag away their half-backs from play. If the Eagles have plenty of fresh legs in the first half, those players will be able to run out the third quarter (a quarter which Collingwood specialises in)

 

[JOELY]

sorry west coast board. please don't think the opinions of this attention seeker represents the rest of us.

 

[magpies42]

Banter aside, i think the game will be a cracker! I think with the number one forward line in the competition, an awesome defence and a much improved midfield with plenty of depth for rotation you guys will struggle. The Woods by 10.
