GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood

[DubDee 20,334]

Mess up Pies top 4 chances? Screw that! If we win today they could miss the top 8! Now that would be funny. Port have 3 winnable games. Pies last two are tricky. 

From first place to 9th would be so sweet. Probably unlikely but let’s try!!

[dazzledavey36 48,642]

Still have a sneaky feeling we'll win today.

Just jumped on the AFL app to have a read of the game preview. 

‘17th Vs 6th’ – What a sick joke Melbourne. 

I’m addicted so I’ll still tune in but what a horrible horrible year.

I don’t see how we turn this around for next year unless we start showing good signs in these last few games this year, recruit and draft smartly and get some luck with injuries over summer. Easier said than done.

Well the Pies are at their weakest all year. We have a few out like Tom, Weid, AVB, Hannan, Smith, Jetta but DeGoey, Cox, Beams,Wells, Aish, Moore, Stevenson, Reid, Dunn, Langdon, Sier etc is a big group missing.

A win today and a Tigers win over Carlton will obliterate any remaining Collingwood top 4 chances. I'd love to see that smug club bundled out first week.

Nice calculation.

We are faarrkked on the scoreboard, I'd reckon, but we can still play nasty against the Filth.

They kicked their highest score for the year or close to it last week, albiet against GC, so wont be no stroll in the park i guess. But we have a good defense and its a damp track, it wont be high scoring. What a great chance to stop them getting top 4 spot!

Payback time for when they stopped us getting into the 8...

The thing is if we lose people will say we can't even win against a 2nd rate pies side if we win people will say we beat a 2nd rate  pies side. 

The pies still have good players in, pendles, sidebottom and the ruck battle between grundy and gawn will be interesting.

Show that to Tom Scully, he'd have flashbacks to China.

Yep so sad. 

I wanted to go but this weather is horrid and I don’t want to sit in freezing temperatures and risk getting sick before I head off overseas. 

Honestly it doesn’t seem worth it and I feel guilty because I know how much these games mean to the club financially. But we have done nothing as a club this season to deserve blind support from our fans. 

Cold weather doesn’t make you sick, it’s catching the virus ie like catching MFCSS it’s usually caught by a “loved one”, maybe a parent. But they don’t really love you by passing MFCSS onto you. My dad gave it to me, I’ve given it to my soon to be 4 yr old (he asked for the Go Dees song to be played this morning and we had a great dance around the lounge) and now I’m trying to pass it on to Mr 1...

No late changes.  Anyone else think we are going in way too tall for the putrid conditions?

[Demonsone 1,593]

Get them to watch Hawks game from last night! A club that finds away to reinvent itself & find players who can follow the game plan. A club that doesn’t sit on past glories & could be  excused so as they won 3 flags in a row less than 5 years ago.

Gaaaahhhh no late changes, can’t wait to see OMac dominate down back today.

I'm stuck in an edit suite today locking picture on my current film, with my Collingwood-supporting editor. 

We're both sitting here with our scarves on and will be there in spirit.

This is the first game in Melbourne that I've missed since 2007, so let's see how I go today. We might find ourselves turning on the TV in the background.

Today should be revenge for Round 23 2017. Come on, redlegs.

[dees189227 10,700]

Would love to see our co captains lay a tackle today

Goodwin just confirmed Oscar McDonald is playing forward. 

Now let me eat my words Oscar!

That can be the only justification for playing him above Hore. Let’s hope Oscar has taken some nodoze today because more often than not he is fast asleep

Can now sell him to Gold Coast as a swingman.

Wow... Goody has been reading DL for his next coaching move. 

[frankie_d 1,407]

OMac and May practicing goal kicking... Hope it works

He might just kick a bag because I doubt they'll pay him too much attention.

Seems like a last ditch attempt to pick up some trade value to me.
