BARRETT: Cats and Pies, 11 straight wins... it's 2011 all over again

Eleven years on from their 2011 heavyweight battles, Geelong and Collingwood are again shaping up as the top two contenders, writes Damian Barrett

Did not want to start a massive OT discussion. Damo's thoughts on Pies and us.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Collingwood 2011 went 20-2 with % of 167
Geelong went 19-3 with % of 157.
Both teams built different as good as the current crop are.

Even equalising that Collingwood-Geelong was the clear GF match-up for basically the entire season (ala saints-Geelong 09) but you cant say the same here,

Did you know that some Blues supporters call 2011 ‘the one that got away’

This would be the first time I think since 2011 that we've had the true luxury of resting players and still winning, is it not?

Fingers crossed. Last thing we need now is one of our top 5 to go down with an injury.

No I’ve heard this on SEN, off with the fairy stuff

Dead serious, it’s because we only beat them by 2 points (the week after that early epic pies match) and they missed a shot late. So they thought they had our measure. They lost to WC in the semi by under a goal. Had they won, they would’ve played us in the prelim… and got absolutely spifflocated

In the prelim that Cats won by 8 goals in a canter barely out of second gear.
No chance the blues get within 10 goals of that Cats team, even cruising.
