First Five rounds

[Ulahoopski]

Where will Collingwood be after 5 rounds this year?
Games against Brisbane, ADelaide, St.Kilda, Essendon and Carlton.

 

[Baird]

If we don't win at least 3 of those games it's going to be a very long season.

 

[TradeDraft]

We could Easily be 5-0 but also could be easily 0-5

 

[DERKADERRR]

I worry about Adelaide but they haven't been too great in Melbourne recently (apart from the game against us last year) so I think we'll win in a close one.

Essendon is the other team I worry about but I think we can get over the line especially if they still have their top up players by then.

 

[Matt_352]

Only game that worries me a little is Adelaide, hate playing at Etihad. I am expecting to be 5 - 0 after round 5.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

5.0

 

[vjknight]

5 zip or im walking.

 

[Matt_352]

Couple of tough games in Cats, Norf and Suns but get over them then I see no reason why we couldnt enter the bye 11-0

 

[on the de goey]

I think we will be 4 and 1.. we may lose the adelaide or essendon game. The rest I have no fears at all

 

[wicksy]

How do we vote for none of them?

All... I mean ALL of them!!!

 

[pablo disco bar]

2 wins

 

[THATSGOLD]

SHOULD win ALL home games.

L W W W W.

 

[Pera]

We could Easily be 5-0 but also could be easily 0-5

I can guarantee we wont be 0-5.

 

[DinoSoar]

I'm with the majority, reckon Crows will be the only iffy game out of the first 5.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

One thing I've learnt over the years, footy never follows the script.

Loss against the Aints, win all the others.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Based on my votes (5-0) we're going to be April champions

 

[TradeDraft]

I can guarantee we wont be 0-5.

No Games are Certain Wins

No way are we losing to the St Kilda schoolgirls

 

[mattys123]

The Brisbane game is so huge in our season, win it and we can afford a loss to the Crows, but really launch into our season and maybe even start 5-0.

Lose to Brisbane and face a Crows side that always plays well against us at Etihad, an 0-2 start to the season would be a disaster.

I think we'll start 4-1, 3-2 at absolute worst, but apparently we have no chance of playing finals according to the experts.

 

[rustyg70]

5 - 0 would be nice.
Would love to stick it up Brisbane at the Gabba.
We do have a fairly easy start to the year.
It's during the middle part that we really need to be on our game.

 

[jimmy35]

If we aren't 5-0 Buckley should be sacked.

 

[iGNITER]

If we want to contend for finals with the expected log jam from 5th-11th we will need to be 5-0 or 4-1 realistically.

 

[PTpie]

If we aren't 5-0 Buckley should be sacked.

Thats a pretty bold statement there... Can't say I agree with it but it isn't out of the realms of possibility.

I'd imagine 4 - 1 (Adelaide) or 3 - 2 (Adelaide and Essendon) is most likely.

It will be interesting to see how we go against Carlton this weekend and will give a more accurate assessment of where the lads are at and what we should expect from them for the first month or so anyways. The biggest factors NOT playing are Ben Reid and Lachie Keeffe and those two add structure (Keeffe) and class (Reid) to our side.

EDIT: Thought I better clarify the Keeffe and Reid comments before this thread goes nuclear about me saying Keeffe is a class player.

 

[Big Bryza]

5-0.

Just imagine the haters, love it.

Keeffe is a classy user of the ball though.
