Collingwood

[Biggie]

Right, its the Pies who are coming over.

Possibly Friday night footy again.

Forget the negatives ie injuries, lets concentrate on who we have available and half available.

Hansen is still 60/40 I would say but we know he is a slow healer. Cant see him getting up.

Kerr wont play.

Can our boys give it one last hurrah and get up over a hard running, strong forward marking Pie outfit?

Or is all over before the ball is bounced?

I wont concede defeat until we are defeated.

CMON WEST COAST.

we've got colllingwood. im very happy with that. id rate our chances quite highly. however its the pf where it would be seriously nailbiting however would be an easier task if kangas win tomorrow.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Win that and we're not completely out of it.

The 'Pies do generally play Subi pretty well though.

the last 2 times we've played them @ subi we've only won by about 2 goals each time and thats with Judd, Kerr, Cousins. Its gonna be tough, the crowd is gonna be a huge factor, to all ppl attending the game next week, scream ya **** off!!

(eagles have not lost in WA vs Pies since 1992)

I guess they play well enough, but they just don't win. Hopefully we can show the heart we did last night and take them out.

 

[MBIB]

Oh please oh please scream everything off. I feel like donning a weagles jumper and jumping on a plane to join you guys myself.
Come on eagles injuries or no injuries - BEAT THAT FILTH ON FRIDAY!

Aside from Hunter forcing Rocca to bust a lung early in 2nd quarter... We will struggle for a decisive advantage anywhere on the ground.

Mick usually outcoaches Woosha, and umpires give it to us.

So its not looking great...

But if Cox can dominate, Waters can polax a couple, Seaby can take more than one customary mark in the goal square, Chick can concentrate for 4 quarters, Priddis, Nicoski and Embley are 100% fit, some unknown (Morton) kicks 3 goals and Judd only plays the last two quarters... we'll be fine!

How do you think the pies will go, having to travel here after not leaving Melbourne for 2 months?

Look they would be licking their lips at this stage.

The travel wont affect their gameplan, they will come out firing with Cloke, Rocca and Didak in very good goal kicking form.

Will be very tough as they have run us very close in the reguar season. And lets face it, we havent been convincing at home lately.

Btw, BYE BYE SYDNEY!

 

[nevrl8]

I just want bucks to do a hammy so that we can cheer him off, as they would with Cuz. The pies are my second most hated team, If we were to lose I would rather lose to Sydney than the pies.

 

[larrikin]

We'll absolutely pump them.

It's the week after I'm worried about

I concur.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

im just incredibly relieved its not sydney.

 

[Keys]

The pressure the Pies put on Sydney was sensational, particularly when the Swans were trying to run the ball out of defence.

If we don't tidy up our disposal in the back half, which has been a problem for us this year, we will be in trouble.

Rocca, Cloke and Rusling are going to stretch our defence as well.

 

[Biggie]

It will be different not playing Sydney in September.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Very happy. Will still be a tough game, but there's hope.

 

[nevrl8]

im just incredibly relieved its not sydney.

I dont know about that the way Sydney played tonight I think we would be better off

Nope, Sydney just aren't very good ATM. These were clearly the two worst sides in the 8 on form IMO

Well, they totally thrashed the Hawks only a week ago.

I think Collingwood is a very even team, and MM coaches them well on game day.

It's going to be tough for sure.

Yeah, fair point that. Although, Hawthorn are so up and down from week to week (and quarter to quarter) you never know what they can do.

I probably meant over a longer term (ie last 6 weeks or so). Neither Sydney or Collingwood have really worried me at the business end of this year.

 

[ep2018]

why do I get the feeling that west coast will tank this game next week.

do we gain anything from tanking?

Are you looking for an award?

Maybe pick 11 or 12 instead of pick 13, 14, 15 or 16

Hate to get technical, but if we lose it would be almost certainly 13 (unless Geelong lose both games).

To lose chasing the number 13 pick (instead of 15 -17) is rediculous - we are wtill a chance to win the bloody thing.
