Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[Peter Doherty]

I would like to see Collingwood lose.

 

[kirky]

Seriously, if a player illegally grabs an arm it is a free irrespective whether you consider it to be minor.

 

[footy4ever]

Phwoooaar. Imagine Tex getting a free for that pissant act.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Would be a boring result but hoping for a Collingwood win to give us a break on the GCS. We'll be up against it this week as it is playing the Bulldogs in Melbourne.

For that very reason I'm barracking out loud for the Pies.

Or Collingwood could lose, we keep winning and a top 2 spot opens up. Go Suns!

Umpiring is diabolical league wide, just constantly making wrong decisions

 

[mtbkym]

Collingwood look lethargic, probably the Jet Lag

 

[nummy217]

All that dominace and only 13 points up

Was just about to say they look ... old.

 

[pjcrows]

Often don't start that well, they get a feel of the game. They're the best in the league at forcing opposition teams wide so their shots on goal aren't from right in front, then counterpunch.

I've tipped Gold Coast in a close one.

Having to wind your wristwatch and circadian rhythm by a full 24 hours must be tough.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pity Collingwood won't get any jetlag flying to the MCG for the grandfinal.

 

[Godallblighty]

Word from someone connected to Collingwood...They had RSV go through the club this week. Number of players affected.

Will age catch up with the Pies?

Freo, Tigers, Brisbane, Hawks, Adelaide then Melbourne last round. The three games against Brisbane, Hawks and Adelaide will be crucial.

I can imagine a high numbers of players will be given a rest against the Tigers - they might make 5/6 changes that week.

 

[footy4ever]

Imagine Sidebottom having only 3 touches in a qtr against us.

Nah, I can't.

 

[BRL121]

Yes. This quarter has been free kick GWS, free kick GWS, giving them their 2 goals.

 

[BRL121]

Imagine Sidebottom having only 3 touches in a qtr against us.

Nah, I can't.

How many has Daicos had?

 

[Cromulant]

Imagine Sidebottom having only 3 touches in a qtr against us.

Nah, I can't.

I cant even imagine him having 3 poor disposals in a quarter against us

 

[kirky]

Getting RSV might impact more than a week tho.

 

[footy4ever]

How many has Daicos had?

10 already!

 

[cleanhands]

Yes. This quarter has been free kick GWS, free kick GWS, giving them their 2 goals.

I know who you mean

 

[CrowinNT]

Go the Suns

 

[Peter Doherty]

Imagine Sidebottom having only 3 touches in a qtr against us.

Nah, I can't.

He had 2 in the first qtr against us in rd 10 and 4 in the 4th. He's 34 years old.

Today, Collingwood will board a plane to the Gold Coast for their Friday night game after not leaving Melbourne for 67 days.


Jokes aside, during this tough time, can we please think of the players and staff who will be away from their families for 2 nights.


Our thoughts are with you guys, stay strong.
