Hoping for a Collingwood win as a Melbourne v Collingwood Grand Final would be so right on so many grounds.

Of course Richmond supporters would say we avoided them but there's always next year.

 

I expect Richmond to be too good and Collingwood to fade in the 2nd half.

Tigers by 33.

My heart says Collingwood in a nail biter, my head says Richmond by plenty.

Interesting that many people are almost writing Collingwood off.

They were only beaten in the last quarter in the West and beat the seemingly inform GWS.

Or is it that people think Richmond are so good.

Sidebottom is elite and they have a dominant ruck in Grundy. Pendlebury delivers week in week out. Forward line is a little brittle and they seem to have patched together a decent backline. And of course there is that star player that Buckley discovered by switching him down back.. can't quite remember his name.


Rich have been the best team for the last 2 seasons..and what changes this week? nothing. Tigers by 30+

don't give a fig. filth or ferals, who cares, will thrash either.

go dees. raise hell in the west

Tigers by 3 goals.

Either way, I hope its the most physical game ever played.

Let’s hope that they go hard at it, plenty of (two-week) injuries and lots of reports!

Just thought the Pies, GWS game was really scrappy, so Tiges for me.

My mistake


I'd expect Maynard and Adams etc to really rough up the tigers.  Probably the only chance collingwood have.  on talent and structure, the tigers should win easily.

Could not care less who wins, as I think at our best we can beat both.

Would I prefer to beat Collingwood on GF day, for sure.

Do I hope both teams get loads of medium term injuries? yes. 

 

Think it will be close and 80 points will be enough to win it. Hope they beat the shyte out of each other.

I begrudgingly admire how well the Pies have gone this season despite being slaughtered by injury.

I think they run out of gas tonight though.  Tigers by 76.

True, but if we lose to WCE do you really want C'wood in a GF?

Good point.

To be fair I am not even contemplating the possibility of a WCE win.

I hope both teams leave absolutely nothing out there ( apart from limbs etc ). Hope both a totally spent forces ;)

Collingwood will play for 3 quarters and Richmond will win

Pies have scored 76,70,69 in their last 3 games. They will need to score a lot more than that if they are to beat Richmond in my opinion. If Collingwood can win the territorial battle they could go close to beating them. Richmond do it better than most though. Tigers 94-67.


I just absolutely hate the filth. I hope the tigers smash them to oblivion. I don't like Richmond either.

Not fussed who wins but a Dees filth granny would light a fuse under this town it hasn't seen the likes of for half a century !!

Just hoping for a maniacal game of attrition ;)

Should not be underestimated what it would do for our brand (hate that word) to re-ignite the mystical nostalgia of '58 and '64.

Could be the fillip to deliver another ten thousand members next year.

Some big hurdles still to be overcome but no use dwelling on the negatives at this time of year.

 

I think Richmond will win, and purely from a selfish perspective, that's the way I'd prefer it to go.  My rationale:

  • I 'dees-pies' Collingwood so much that the thought of them playing off in a Grand Final makes me want to puke;  and
  • if we happened to play Collingwood in the Grand Final, Grundy has the capacity to reduce the influence of our major trump card in big Max, making a win more difficult for us.

It hurts me to say it, but I want a Richmond win tomorrow night.  Maybe by a big margin, so they drink a tub full of their own bathwater before facing a rampant Dees outfit.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
