No Oppo Supporters Round 24: Essendon v Collingwood, MCG, August 25th 2023, 7.50pm - The End

[Lore]

Just to be clear, we draw the line at trolling and abuse.

No oppo. Come back later if you just wanna be nice, now ain’t the time.

COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES

The Pies have started to look very shaky at the wrong time of the year.
With the minor premiership all but sewn up a few weeks back, injuries and form drops hit at a horrible time and now the Pies are at risk of dropping down to 2nd on the ladder if results don't go their way.
Not that it matters, as they're locked into a home Qualifying final in two weeks anyway.
If things switch and they get Nick Daicos back early, as is expected, then it will take a lot to stop this juggernaut in September.
Seems to be a matter of time until we have Collingwood joining us and that navy blue mob of dickheads on 16 flags.
And, it's looking like Collingwood will be the first to get 17, too.

A huge shoutout to the retiring players today.

Andrew Phillips, the lovable workhorse who became a footy journeyman and carved out a solid career at three clubs.

And to Walla, the most universally loved Essendon player, possibly of all time. Going out, this time, on his own terms.

Special mention goes to James Stewart

, who has been delisted with a year to run on his deal. Hope he makes it elsewhere.

With all that said, thanks for taking the time to read these threads this year.

I'll see you next year for the 20th anniversary of our last finals win.

Sigh.




Collingwood by 85.​

 

[VelvetSledge]

Goodnight, 2023. Thanks for the memories.

Except for last week. Last week can get in the bin.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

i’m hopefully & heading in early, trains already packed with bogans & a few bombers between them.

here’s hoping we’re competitive

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

If Tippa is sub I hope we bring him on before half time. I don't care about the result...I just want to see the great man out there. I don't care if he doesn't do too well but I suspect even though it is against the pies and not VFL he will perform better with good players around him.

 

[iDon]

Also hoping for some competiviness Will be there to see us one last time.

 

[Beerfish]

 

[mcgrath_truther]

just saw a pies fan relieving herself near the bridge to flinders, steer clear!

 

[citizen-erased]

My fantasy GF this week requires some games

Zach, darce - 40 each pls
Brad, let pendles run riot
Jamie, kyle - you're the best fwds out there. 6 goals each is not beyond you

 

[DallasCrane316]

No changes by the looks.

AFL website has Walla as the sub.

[ydc55]

Hope we fight out the season.
‘For those who are going. Enjoy

 

[Lads2023]

We are due for a win against the pies. Don’t think it will happen, but weirder things have happened in footy

 

[VelvetSledge]

God damn it.

I don’t care enough to fix it
