Pies vs Port

[croation-sensation]

dean brogan is out with a rib injury and now darryl wakelin is out for striking milne on monday.
Without brogan and wakes it really makes there backline and ruck alot weaker so Josh could dominate in the ruck with alittle help from stretch.
how much do you think the pies will win by?

 

[rychenroller]

Port are starting to come good, but they never play well at the dome. Still, our blokes have to beware of complacency. Wounded teams can come out roaring as Essendon did today, so we make sure we are harder at the ball and man and all will be good.

Josh and Stretch arent fit to lick B.Lades arse.

Last time we played you we fell in by about 6 goals.

 

[Jabso]

Brogan out will help us as Lade will have to be rested at some time, this brings out a young inexperienced ruckman.
Wakelin out also helps us but don't discount their defence.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

Collingwood to win this game easily.

True enough...but check out your history at the dome. One game doesnt tell the story.

Our history pre-05 at the dome was very good. i know it means nothing, but im just making the point.

Just because Brogan is out doesn't mean we are going to get the ball out of the middle, Fraser/Richards won the tap-out many of times but it was always directed to an Essendon player.

 

[Jabso]

Richards is too easy to figure out he directs short taps. He needs more variation and more tricks when it comes to tap outs. Fraser may rarely get more hit outs than his oponent but he is improving. His tap outs to advantage ratio is pretty good. I'm not saying we'll smash them, just that Brogan out will expose them slightly.

hey is this weeks game on channel 9 or on fox footy?

I'm guessing fox footy because Hawks and Dons play at the mcg same time.

 

[Lockyer24]

Danger game!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping we will just get up by a kick or so

your record at the dome our record at the dome or what colour undies you wear wont make a difference. You have no chance in beating us, our forward line is dominant and if we maintain our good form in the ruck and delivery into the forward line you have no hope in hell.

After four games you dreamers have such confidence. You have been strugglers for years and nothing will change. The mention of the name Collingwood sells tabloid newspapers in your town and they will print what you boys want to read. It's all a con, your going nowhere.

 

[Nesian]

well if ur team had won 3 in a row after a terrible year and an ordinary start i think you would be confident too. that said again the pies shouldnt come into the game thinking we are going to thrash port, caution here again. Should be a good game,

as for ur "going no where" comment, at least thats more then where port will be going

 

[fritz and sauce]

*No insults please*

 

[FIGJAM]

Urrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh!! Fritz...world's worst luncheon meat.

At least I think it's meat. Hard to tell!

 

[fritz and sauce]

was it that bad

 

[fritz and sauce]

Padantic weak moderators.The real magpies make you bitches uneasy

 

[rychenroller]

Leave noob, just make sure the actual football discussion is by those who know what they are talking about.

 

[goalpie]

Our main strength will be using our running players to hit Rocca and Tarrant. Lots of goal kicking players this year which is a bonus.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Should be a good game, as have most of the games between these teams since 1997.

Prectictably, our forward line holds the key. The smalls (Didak, Thomas and (sometimes) Davis) have been in good form, whilst our talls have been a bit sporatic. We really need a game where Tarrant and Rocca are both on song.

I expect our rucks to have the edge and give first use of the ball to Licura, Burns etc. I would like to see Buckley to play on Chad Corns, either down back, on the ball or up forward. Corns always plays well against us and Buckley is a good match up because he will provide a contest.

Davies should come in for Holland. He deserves his chance.
