Game Day Round 10 vs. Adelaide, MCG, 1:45pm Sat 18/05

[76woodenspooners]

Today has round 23, 2022 vibes …

… if we win we sneak into top 4 (albeit unlikely for long) and knock Carlton out of the 8.

Carlton - no
Essendon - no
North - no
Bulldogs - sure, but they’re the only Marvel tenant to win a Premiership
St Kilda - yes

Merge them. Call them The Marvels and be done with it. The new team can have the combined 11 spoons and the single flag they have had this century.

Feel like the comic book brand might have an issue with that!

Not 100 percent sure Carlton and Essendon can blame 25 ish years of incompetence on their home ground.

Essendon haven’t won a non Sheedy final since 1968

 

[No SPIN]

First to admit I actually have no idea what you’re advocating!!!
I should have lead with that!!

Your post suggests they we shouldn’t discount goals kicked?

Or did I misread that?
Happy to be corrected!

Poster was deriding Finn’s goals, as ONLY due to assists from Richards.
I was simply making the point virtually every goal comes from an assist, so that criticism was absurd.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

All goals are equal I see.

Joe the goose is as valued as a shot from 50 on the siren to win the game.
Please.

I mean…a goal is a goal isn’t it?

Let’s not pretend we live in a world where basic goals have never been stuffed up before

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Saturday arvo footy at the G, not much better than that!
Looking forward to see how the boys go as we continue to build momentum into 2024.
Few cold beers ready to settle in for the day!

Finn leads Collingwoods all times list of goals kicked from Joe Richards assists.

My wife just told me if we win tomorrow, she's going to my Daughters house for the weekend

Win - win

 

[JuniorB]

Win and push the scum out of the eight.
Go Pies!!!!

Not saying that there is any causal effect (dunno) but it is curious that Essendon, Carlton and North won 13 Premierships between them in the two and a half decades before Docklands opened, and yet only 1* between them in the two and a half decades since.

* The 1 being Essendon’a 2000 Premiership in the year that Docklands opened.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Here’s a curious stat:

How many Premierships have been won by MCG tenants versus Marvel tenants in the last 20 years?

Spoiler

MCG - 10 Premierships; Marvel - 1 Premiership

All the sweeter given the Doggies have the only 1 for Docklands tenants. You can understand why Carlton want to move to the G, it’s clearly their home ground that’s their issue.

I'd just say that the poorly run clubs were stupid enough to choose Docklands as their home ground, whereas the well run clubs like Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond etc were smart enough to choose the MCG.

 

[Exambolor]

The Adelaide board is full of pessimism, seem to have quite a few whipping boys there

Clearly!

(It’s actually 2 for Docklands tenants in total - Dogs 2016, Bombers 2000)

Vic Bias!

Crows have plenty of exciting players, so I'm looking forward to this one. Even with injuries, its a game that we shouldn't be dropping if we want to be top 4. It will be a good test to see where we're at. You'd have to suspect it would have been a light week on the track. So should be plenty of run in our legs.

I'll be nervous watching Jordy. If we're a serious side this year we need him at his best. That Prelim was legendary. So hope to see some signs today that he's on track to get back towards that level.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Two narrow wins last year and got lucky in both I'm worried abut todays game. I think The Crows will play us tough here. Might even cause an upset.

I'd argue we actually didn't get lucky in either game. The first game we over ran them and in the second game we were well on top at half time.

TBF, we had 'em on toast early at the G last year, and should have put them away.
