Titus O'Reilly's Queens Birthday Match Preview: Pies vs Dees

Couldn't find this weeks match preview thread, so thought i'd create one. Feel free to merge it with the D'land one that pops up.

Not being witty enough (without posting a gif) to write an engaging preview for the match in comparison to the D'land crew who do it every week, i thought i'd post Titus O'Reilly's; a demon supporter and satirical journalist who behind the satire usually hides a hell of a lot of truth:

Melbourne vs. Collingwood (MCG) 3.20pm

When you think blockbusters in sport, surely the Queen’s Birthday Clash is right up there with playing your mate at FIFA.

Last week, Melbourne showed they can still give up with the best of them, in a disgraceful display in Alice Springs. Despite being a Melbourne fan, I’ve found tipping against them a wonderful strategy.

In fact, it’s because I’m a Melbourne fan and having watched them play is why I tip against them. Occasionally someone nice opposition fan, pity in their eyes, will say ‘you guys will improve’ but we won’t and we don’t.

It’s no different here. The fact this is on the MCG is the only thing that gives Melbourne any chance.

Collingwood are developing some very good young talent and work habits and they didn’t have to bottom out for eight years and counting to do it.

Still, this game holds a fair bit of interest with Heritier Lumumba facing off against his old side.

I’m sure the Collingwood faithful will welcome the chance to see ‘the Prince’ in action once more. They’re good like that Pies fans.

    I hope melbourne fans turn up in numbers. Not only to support the boys but also to support Neale Daniher and get a good laugh when the celebs go down the ice slide.

    I just feel Jesse will set himself for this and will love the big crowd.

    Just hope its better than last years game.

    No idea how this will go. Melbourne paying $3.50. About right. Not impossible, but no one has faith in Melbourne to turn up.

    I just hopr the result is better than last years game.

    Last year's game was okay until the 4th. We kept them close and stopped their run, they got a few in a row and it was game over.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
