VFL Round 3 - Collingwood vs Essendon at Victoria Park (Pies WON 106-78! Replay links in OP! #DonsIrked)

[MagpieBat]

How does he watch on TV if he is at work? Won't the game be over when he gets home? Or am I missing something obvious?

Recorder?

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Recorder?

I don't have one. Does everyone else?

 

[MagpieBat]

I don't have one. Does everyone else?

Can't speak for everyone else, but I have one. Should we win, I'll look forward to watching it again.

Of course, should we lose, I'll look forward to deleting it...

That's a decent looking side, hopefully it will prove good enough to get us an important win. The article says "The Magpies have included 14 AFL-listed players" but it should be 15.

 

[35Daicos]

I don't have one. Does everyone else?

Not me. I haven't had one of any kind for well over ten years! Most things I want to see again (or if I've missed them) I can find on the internet.

Wouldn't it still be possible to watch this game after it's been shown live, via the link in the OP, like you can do with e.g. Talking Footy?

Channel 7 have had a replay service the past couple of years, but the link in my template has been scrapped (hence why I didn't post it in the OP).

If they resume the service this year, I'll post the new link (if somebody else doesn't get in first)...

That's a strong looking side as well. I make it 16 from Essendon's AFL list, with (recent player) Heath Hocking there also. Looks like a decent contest on paper.

 

[jackcass]

Pretty strong Bombers line up as well. Should be a ripper game.

It'll either be a ripper game in the sense that it will be a great game to watch, or a ripper game in the sense that Essendon will go all Jack The on us, as they have done the last couple of these fixtures...

Hopefully time for that tide to turn.

I hope so! It's been bloody awful sitting through those smashings...

 

[The Daicos]

Wells.

 

[MagpieBat]

Wells.

He lives...

 

[The Daicos]

At this stage I'd be more surprised if he didn't limp off with a calf injury.

 

[jmac70]

It was implied in your tone.

And don't say it wasn't, because it was...

No it wasn’t. People can say s**t without it being bad. For example,
Bat Man is the s**t.

I'm just yanking Dave's chain. It's sort of a little thing we have, unlike his rivalry with Apex36, which is full-blown animosity...

 

[sr36]

My money is on both Blair and Mayne only playing a half.

 

[35Daicos]

At this stage I'd be more surprised if he didn't limp off with a calf injury.

Wells played last week (about 3/4 of a game I think) and got through okay. I'd love to see him fit and firing because he's such a class act, and he was very good for us last year when he did play (AFL). Coincidence or not, who knows, but when he played we won most of the time, when he didn't play we nearly always lost!!

 

[Maggie5]

This bit here is very much you...

Not if you sit next to me at the football around strangers.

On here and if you upset me about something that is important to me? Then watch out!

 

[Rorzza]

Lisle carved our back line a new one last week... They need to lift!

 

[Darkyprotector]

Wanta see continued good form from wills and mayne
Big game for lynch / mcclarty as mckernan and leunberger are a fair combo

Seir and wills could add a fair bit if they really get going

 

[Vicky Park]

Game day! Wonder if TD has had his breakfast yet?
