Collingwood

[Cuzz09]

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.

I was being silly

We have to win - we dont deserve to go out in straight sets. All these injuries are crazy and we deserve a small bit of luck (please footy gods) to go our way this week so we can make another journey to the ground where we tasted ultimate glory 11 and a bit months ago.

If we get to the Prelim at the G. Imagine the lift the boys will get. Staying at the same hotel, same pre game stuff, they will be PUMPED!!!

GO EAGLES beat the pies!!

I'm sure everyone would agree the pace of the Eagles/Port game was way above the Pies/Sydney game, the Pies game almost looked pedestrian at some stages.

The Eagles will pressure the Pies into submission next week and run away with the game in the second half. It's important to get Hanson back at CHF and NOT play Judd if he's not fully fit. The Eagles match up well with the Pies, and with Hansen back, they'll struggle to match us in the forward line.

We've got the height to match Collingwood's forward line, and with a fully fit midfield we'll run Collingwood off their legs by the end.

In next week Hanson, Fletcher, McNamara Out Cousins, Judd, ??

LeCras nearly won the game playing through the centre, so I'd keep him in that role and play McNamara in the forward line in the same role that Judd had against Port.

Sorry mate - the technicality bit was pointed at you. The rest was pointed at EP

Gotta be Morton coming in for Judd - he would add 3 times what Judd did last night.

 

[bali-dog]

yep,the intensity of the 2 games was vastly different..does that mean we'll be sore+bruised,and pies will be fresh?..
but if we can bring that same intensity to game,should be a good chance..if weve got run?...i agree,its the prelim thats a concern.

 

[bali-dog]

It will be different not playing Sydney in September.

on a positive note,the prelim wont be a concern if we dont get there!?

 

[Pie eyed]

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!

Rumour has it that that Carlton are hiring a Leopard "tank" to get jilted Carlton supporters over west to barrack against the Pies.....LOL

no way. morton should not be relied on at all for the rest of the season, id rather they gave macnamara a go,

 

[leroyeagle]

When was the last time bucks flew to Perth? Anyone know? Can't stand the cold pies! Woosher will really enjoy this one, I don't think 'MOULThouse ' will out coach him this time.

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

Half of Collingwood won't even make it here. They will get lost on the way to the airport because they don't know where the sucker is.

Face facts, we are up against it with stars being unavailable but what we do have is the deepest list in the comp and a fierce determination and belief in our ability.

Great signs from Friday were the graduation of LeCres to a genuine mid fielder, Embers getting through the game and will take benefit and Coxy in magnificent form.

I thought the boys were magnificent and the one thing I do know is, they will not toss it in. They will give everything they've got and as fans - that is all we can ask.

 

[since82eags]

Jayme Graham is available do we risk another tall defender in a cut throat final to give us another tall option up back? What about Armstrong or Morton who comes in for Judd?

 

[Brad Goodman]

Sydney are a shadow of their former selves. Collingwood are on the rise. You'd be way better off playing Sydney (who like you, have injuries).

 

[wce4premiership]

If we win this then we get kerr back and he will be raring to go.

 

[Optimax]

Our game wasnt slow mate it was due to sydney either kicking backwarsd, due to being carelled or getting tackled.

Wouldnt start getting cocky this is a ahrd game either way

Jaymie has 3 goals before half time for the Bulldogs in the final today

Pies are 3 from 4 on the road this year. Even with Judd, Kerr etc firing early in the year the Weagles only knocked us over by 2 goals. I can assure all that Subi holds no fear for the Pies.

P.S. - The idiot who hopes Bucks goes down with a hammy so they can cheer is what gives WA fans a bad rep in Vic. Show some class. Eagles did with Hird and Sheedy and Smith last year. If this is farewell for Bucks hope he receives some respect.

At least we can spell our own player's names. What does the poor guy have to do?

Seriously though, should be a ripping match, as has been pointed out our previous WA encounters have been close. No-one should be taking anything for granted.
