and if you dont?

Thats 2 in a row and the return of the Colliwobbles.

I wonder how the bandwagon will fare if the greatest and bestest team ever to play footy loses 2 in a row.

 

[hq56]

can someone dig up some stats info on Collingwood's performances without Rocca, and Brisbane's without Lappin?

I can't see Lappin playing either.


It would have to be a mighty effort on Collingwood's behalf.

Last years Grand Final, Rocca really played well, i think you will really miss him. I was gonna pick Brisbane even if he was playing.

 

[marcuz]

Pies will still win. Mal Micheal now has nobody to play on unless malthouse plays fraser forward. They still have nobody to play on tarrant and collingwood can build their attacks through him

Yes, we will. Does anyone care to check what stats Rocca got against Port? He had minimal impact and we still thrashed them.

Hard

It's going to be hard for the pies now.

More pressure is going ot be on Fraser in the ruck and it's going to be harder for fraser to go forward.

Also Brisbane now have an extra key back spare because he wont be required on Rocca.

His ommission id going to pose some problems for Malthouse, I can see Mckee comming into the side to help out and free up fraser to go forward.

That was against the Chokers though, this is Brisbane we are talking about.

 

[hq56]

Tarrant, Kinnear, Fraser

Need another attacking tall. Thats just not enough. I'd play Walker, and betheras. I'd nearly drop Leon Davis because he can't get a touch against Brisbane.

Crap. If Molloy comes in, there's a tall. If Mckee comes in, Fraser will spend most of the game up foward, there's a tall.

Rocca is a very very good player and we will miss that, but there are other options. The fact Rocca isn't there might free up Tarrant, Fraser or Molloy to kick an extra few goals.

More than anything I feel sorry for Rocca. But it was stupid and I can't see him winning the appeal. He will atone for it next year, just like Clokey has done this year.

This is against a injury rattle team. NO lappin, Voss 60%, No scotts.

So what? We aren't going to let this one slip.

 

[skilts]

At least Collingwood supporters have a ready-made whinge if they don't win. They employed a drongo who belts people in Preliminary Finals, for the second year-in-a-row. This will translate as a conspiracy to defeat the inevitable march of the Magpie army towards a flag. Brisbane will, once again, be the AFL's bum boys.

At least we won't have to put up with crying about the salary cap. That issue seems to have fallen off the agenda recently.

Of course, none of this may matter when we get to the ground on Saturday. I'll tell you what else won't matter on Saturday, if Collingwood wins, Rocca's suspension.

 

[Matt_TY]

We still have every chance to win this game. I dunno if some of you jokers are aware of this concept but Collingwood plays a _team game_. We have the depth to cover for Rocca and we still have no reason to be scared in the slightest. Bring it on.

 

[The Shev]

Won't Bradshaw take Tarrant and Michael take the CHF? Then Leppitsch can move up forward alongside Lynch and Brown, which will cause worries for the Magpie defence. This also means Cloke won't have the opportunity to roam free. If not Bradshaw on Tarrant, then Leppitsch or Michael, with Bradshaw being the third tall up forward.

Without Rocca, the odds for the Magpies have seriously decreased.

 

[Rodgerramjet]

Ruckman

Daicos you need another ruckman, Molloy is not an option he is not a ruckman and he is not fit.

Rocca and Fraser were your Ruckmen and Rocca is now gone, so what do you do, leave Fraser to ruck all day? No that would be stupid you will need another ruckman and thats probably going to be Mckee, I don't know how good walker is in the ruck. Then Fraser can rest up forward.

 

[hq56]

Bradshaw - Tarrant
Kinnear - Needs a tall
Fraser - Ruck

There will be atleast another tall:

McKee
Walker

So they're gonna be covered.


As Matt_TY said, team game. Collingwood has won without buckley before. without tarrant playing a good game.

It is possible. Hell, the game hasn't started yet!

3 weeks ago Rocca had 2 marks 30m out that were taken off him and many of our players missed from 20m out....not a problem...The AFL's sponcered 10% cheats will go down on Saturday...its time to turn the past 2 marketing cups back from being a sad joke to the glory of being the Holy Grail again...Amen

No you won't.

And I am glad that this was one decision that Eddie couldn't influence.

The fact that Mr. Tragic has made this prediction will mean that Collingwood will win.

Care to explain what decisions he has influenced? You sound a little like grayham, making up facts to suit your argument.
