Preview R18 - Maggies v. Pies [for the Minor Premiership]

[afl2004]

Monday night afl are w***ers

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ok so we have to beat Wobbles by just one point to finish minor Premiers

 

[ibd77]

From a ladder/ finals perspective, Collingwood have less to play for as winning or losing doesn't change their finals position all too much. They will be playing the Saints from 6th or 7th place.

Port on the other hand is playing off for the minor premiership which is important for the significance of the minor round season.

This isn't true. If the Bulldogs and Geelong win tomorrow, Collingwood need to beat us to avoid a trip to Perth.

Yea that’s not true. If the Bulldogs best Freo, which they should, Collingwood would finish 8th and have to travel to Perth, quarantine for 7 days and then play an elimination final against West Coast. There is no way in hell the AFL are going to let that happen. Prepare yourselves for the biggest umpiring stitch up in the history of the game.

Port easily , The pies rag dolled a young tired suns team last week with no input from King & rankine
as well as the shorter break and ports stronger midfield and foward line. Pies just qualifying for finals and port easily the top team all year

This is no coincidence and didnt just happen - Port have played well all year and have the Form

 

[Capital Power]

It would help if either the Dogs or Cats lost today. If both win, there is absolutely no way we are allowed to win tomorrow to consign the Pies to a trip to Perth and a week's quarantine. Especially not after Eddie's ability to get this game played at the Gabba instead of at AO in from of 20,000 PBs.

I was told it was their home game so their call about venue?

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

its gives us insentive and Collingwood really dont have that much to play for now, but it would be very Hinkley to drop this one and end up 2nd. As far as who i'd rather play it would definately be Geelong.

 

[Marmozet]

The result of this game will affect all 4 finals match-ups.

Yep, and the Pies in particular. Win and they stay at the Gabba v St Kilda. Lose and they go to Perth for a week's quarantine and the WCE. I wonder which outcome umpires and commentators will be instructed to favour .

Eddie would have already put a word in to them

Could be the most watched game of the home and away season.
And it’s Collingwood‘s sponsors who get the most exposure.
Still I am sure, well, hoping, our boys will do us proud for our sponsors.

Same. Stuck at work until 9.30.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Collingwood will be desperate to win this one and finish seventh.
Come on Port.
This is a battle of pride.

I am sure they don’t really care too much

Cheaters rarely care!

So...

Port
Richmond probably want us to win so they can stay in Brissie and play Brissie first.
Dogs would obviously rather stay in Brissie than quarantine in Perth.

Collingwood
Geelong probably want us to lose so they don't have to travel.
Would West Coast rather play Collingwood or Bulldogs in Perth?
Collingwood have beaten West Coast there, the Bulldogs have not.
Guessing they would rather we lose and they play the dogs.

Indifferent
Brisbane are 1- 9 against Brisbane after a 1 point win at the Gabba in 2019.
Brisbane are 0-10 against Richmond.
Not sure they care who they play against.
Saints would rather play a "home" game vs the Dogs or Away vs Collingwood?
Saints beat both early in the year.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

So win and we get Geelong round 1 at Adelaide oval, lose we get Richmond.

I’d prefer Richmond personally.

 

[Willsy10]

I prefer to win, and tomorrow night will be no exception.

Ports by 15 points.

Monday night afl are w***ers

Wasn't it originally scheduled for like 5:20pm Adelaide time too?

 

[Byron!!!]

We have a chance to finish with the most points for, least points against, highest percentage and top of the ladder tomorrow. Would be fantastic to do so although realistically scoring so heavily against Collingwood will be difficult.

Just as an aside, anyone know why BF is also trolling us?
