Funnily enough the fact this is Buck’s last game makes me think our guys will take this match more seriously as they know the Pies will come out swinging. Maybe that works in our favour.

I'm somewhere between pfft-fugazi and oh-my-god-Hogan-isn't-smiling on the Buckley swansong impact expectations, but I agree that hopefully it will have a positive impact - not just the thought that the Pies will come out swinging, but that they indeed do and make it a high-pressure game. I have been a bit concerned about our inability to play our best outside of big occasions and genuine challengers. I know this is a partially flawed measure, but it terms of points gains and losses on last season results: 

Rich +61

Dogs +56

Geelong +28

Bris +26

Hawks +3

North -27

Adelaide -50

A few clouds, but looking not too bad at the SCG…

@hardtack how did you manage to post a picture? I get a server error everytime on my phone.

We're up the top in the Trumper Stand...great view, no queues at the bar...life's good.

Chandler is the sub. Baker out after being the sub last week.

Anyone else concerned about our forward line on the SCG? Hoping to see Oliver, Harmes and Petracca kick a few between them.

We’re down in Bay 15 in the Trumper, just under cover; hopefully the rain will hold off regardless.

Is there a crowd cap on this game?

AFL site must have it wrong again.

TMac warming up. Good news. Uterus going strong.

Looks like media are having a field day about Collingwood and Buckley it being his last game. Making it all about them despite it being a Demons home match and sitting top of the ladder.

Uterus going quiet more likely

[dazzledavey36 55,347]

I have a lot of respect for Bucks.

He'll easily snap up a jon within the AFL very soon.

T Mac - a late withdrawal with a phantom pregnancy

Did you guys hear about how Bucks is apparently coaching his last game? Apparently there was a whisper in the warm up

To be expected. Do you think either way it matters to the players or the coaches though?

Great MND slide, love Neale just smiling up there. The whiz & Sarah Jones BOG for me.

Now lets go dees & smash these pies. Start well

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Extremely nervous about this. Hope we are switched on and start well. Crush their hopes early. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Final games from coaches always make me nervous, and this is especially so given Bucks is such a fixture at Collingwood.

Still, they don't always end in fairytales for the outgoing coach. I don't think we won our last game with Neale? I think I went to that game and it was a real close loss against the Bombers?

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Why this umpire again? Why? ?

[dazzledavey36 55,347]

Huge test for Sammy Weideman. 

Time to stand up.
