WCE or Melbourne, who would you prefer we play?

I feel like a kid who has woken up on Christmas morning hoping for a nice shiny new bicycle but have been given a bright red Ferrari instead.

Right now I just want both sides to belt the s**t out of each other. WC talls worry me, but so does Melbourne's pace and run. WC without Darling and/or Kennedy would be ideal.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Leaning Melbourne.

Although we wouldn’t have home ground advantage, nor the bipartisan support, we have played and beaten them soundly during the year and they’re less equipped to exploit our major weakness in tall defenders.

 

[left at home]

Does not matter, which one, as we can beat them.
Oh well, West Coast, like us to have another shot at them

 

[Heater39]

Leaning towards west coast so we get the home ground advantage. Reckon that was the difference in the qualifying final. Whoever we play I hope we go in with underdog status but I doubt that will be the case after last nights performance

 

[Go Woods]

Bring on either I say! Think WC will get over the line today.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I voted Melbourne, purely for the joy it would give all those veteran Collingwood supporters who are over around 70 years old, who grew up with Melbourne being the arch enemy.

Melbourne, because if we were to lose (hope to god we win) I’d rather it be to a long-suffering Vic side than a bunch of ferals who boo everything.

This and I hate West Coast as much as Richmond so I hope we play Melbourne.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

At this point I doubt it matters.

Melbourne would be better for the game, West Coast would be better for us.

I want revenge for 2 losses that should never have happened.

 

[Smoky]

West Coast please.

Getting a ticket will be near impossible if we play Melbourne.

 

[elpickle]

Either team is fine for me. If we lose then I won't know any supporters from any of those sides anyway

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Melbourne is likely the more vulnerable to us and we should belt them.

Suspect West Coast wins easily today and they the tougher opponent.

Can't stand either of them.

Have to say don't like how you've called Melb our queens birthday foes, I think they need a lesser moniker, like Dee Snow Bunnies, or some such

 

[Chameleon75]

I would prefer Melbourne, the two times we’ve played WC they’ve been able to slow our ball movement through the middle making it hard for our forwards, and their tall forwards are a worry. As good as goldy was last time, Kennedy still managed 6 shots on goal.

It’s out of respect to the veteran Collingwood supporters who consider Melbourne to be our biggest rivals

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

We bring that same pressure and running game last night, l don't think we can be beaten. Grundy, Sidey, Pendles, Treloar, Adam's, Sier in the midfield, with Cox, WHE, Thomas, Mihocek, Stephenson and DeGoey up forward, it's alot to stop.....Goldsack has made a huge difference to our backline, what a story!!

 

[Scodog10]

As someone that had mentally prepared myself to be watching the GF remotely and not in danger of a heart attack for a two hr period I have to say I couldn’t really care less who it is!

With that out of the way both teams have their pros and cons for us as challengers (the Dees with their midfield strength and the Eagles with their offensive strength) and their individual narratives.

I think I will enter today’s contest thinking the Dees based on form and for some reason hoping WC because I think we did enough in the QF to suggest we had them. Perhaps I’ll leave it at I hope the temp nudges 35, it’s close all day and they belt the living suitcase out of each other!

 

[10571z]

I think if Melbourne make it they could have a dream run like Bulldogs and Richmond

I really think if West Coast win we will beat them by 8 goals.

Can’t argue with support for our old timers who rightly despise the deepoos

Let’s go with your last part.
Hot.
Belt each other up.

Perfect tenderising for us.

Supposed to be 26 degrees over there today. Playing in the hottest part of the day too.

 

[ksardog]

Melbourne because of the history with them and how big it would be. WC have had our measure the past 2 games due to our lack of key defenders so that’s a genuine concern as well. I think either of them will be difficult and a victory, if we get it, would be well and truly earned

It’s our dream run.

Their nightmare.
