Bring it

If this happens, our players need to break every Collingwood player's arms and legs and kick 10,000 goals to zero.

Good idea.

This is brilliance from Collingwood.... they know it will be their home game, and that so many MFC supporters will be wanting revenge, it practically guarantees a 70k+ crowd.

Great for both teams actually. 

Must happen.

Make it a Friday night game as well. I'd be coming over for this one. 

Didn't they also want to host us Queens Birthday?

Revenge?

Bulldust.

Win round 1 by 10 goals in 2018.  Great.  Doesn't do a single thing to eradicate the last round in 2017.

 

About time this club, and its supporters stop looking at external irrelevant factors like curses, luck, and seeking artificial fleeting feel-good moments like 'revenge'.  Yes, we didn't have continuity with injury.  But we stuffed up from an on-field viewpoint (North, Freo etc..) and I reckon it wasn't our best year from a medical point-of-view either.  Viney's return in 2 weeks post-surgery was heroic, but I wouldn't call it smart. 

 

 

God I hope so! I'd love to see our boys come out ruthless and breathing fire and make the pies doubt the decision to re-sign bucks right away

And yet, despite your bluster, MFC fans will attend this game in droves if it happens.

I am not saying MFC fans won't turn up.  Read what I said dingbat.

Reading it a second time wont make it any better.

Whether it is that round or not, I want and expect to exact 'revenge on this mob when we get them next. Won't do anything to make up for it but I want and expect it anyway 

Really, revenge etc. it's what we are doing at season end and finals that matter. Taking revenge on Collingwood means nothing if we flunk the end of season test.  

Revenge? Does it make up for the pitiful effort last weekend. 

Our team would have lost to most teams outside of the 8 with their attitude.

I see no solace in having a win against collingwood in round 1 and neither should the players. Only solace will be to storm into finals next year. 

The AFL likes fluffy made up rivalry games, how about adel v melb r1 - Lever meets old club, and old tankers meets new tankers. Also if we were adrlaides hardest opponent, this makes it the real '17 grand final.  (im kidding btw)

It wont hurt though to start of the year with a jolly good flogging. Them by us

a good idea, though i think that at least once a week after training between now every player has to sit down watch the replay of that last game, i know i replay it in my head often enough.

In particular, all but a select few running around the contest like ring a ring arosy rather than making the contest, rather hoping that one of their team mates will make a tackle. 

They are a fickle bunch, if we happen to win they will crawl back under their rock and go back to requesting somebody else like I don't know maybe the tigers again if they are looking a little weaker. 

Sure take it after all it's better than playing in the [censored] like Darwin, god damn Blundstone etc but just know that as we improve they will go looking for an easier beat next time around when we smash them.

 

 

Bring it on. If this were to happen it would give our players motive too maybe want to win and win big.

We can't turn back the clock and change what happened, what's done is done; and like every other Dee's fan out there it bloody hurts like hell; we how ever use this loss as motivation to improve as club and never ever go through such heart tearing end to a season. On ward and up ward.

Yep hope is all we have at the moment 

I amstarting ti think that nothing going to change 

So by all means hope away.

From a purely marketing pov it  would be a MASSIVE win for the footy club to play the pies round 1. Hope it happens. 

The line from the Sun:

collingwood have requested a blockbuster game against melbourne...

think about the last 10 years and you'll realise how far mfc have come 

Love it, bring it on 

Allows us to keep QB as home game while entering a gate sharing agreement with the Pies. Locks in a return game against them every year and guarantees another game at the G (plus starting our season at the G).
