GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood

[Whispering_Jack]

How long has it been since these two old enemies have played a bigger game?

[Males]

Unfortunately I’m working so can’t go, should be a big crowd though, Trac will be happy.
 

Fair to say I’m nervous about this one, the Pies match up well against us and we tend to let one or two of their players have a day out against us. It’s a huge game for us, if we back up our Freo win with another good win here it’s going to hopefully launch our finals run and, fingers crossed, we do what we did last year. When it comes down to it, if we play near our best we will win, I just hope our players turn up.

[Deenooos_]

I'm slowly getting a little nervous, if it was any other team I'd be fully confident but the pies seem to always hand it to us.

I also reckon their supporters are going to drown us out... and I'm dreading the "Coooollinnngwoooood"...

Their quick ball movement can be overwhelming when they get on a roll, hopefully with our settled defence we can somewhat take that out of their game. I feel like the dockers didn't challenge at all with their ball movement playing into our hands whereas I think the pies will go into the game with a "nothing to lose" attitude and take the game on with risk.

Feeling the creep of nerves this morning... waiting for my flight to Melb to take off.  I'll spend all day working alongside a Pies supporter which will only exacerbate things!  

Hoping we can back up Lingers' words and show some proper Melbourne style footy!

[BDA]

We'll be up for this. No doubt about that

Bring the same  heat and intensity that we did against the Freo and the pies have no chance

Time to put these upstarts in their place

Dees by 25 points

On another note: does anyone have any clever tips for parking at the G? Normally, we train it in from Bala’ but want to make a quicker getaway tonight with the kids. Any ideas?

[GCDee]

Surely the pies at $3.12 would have the be the longest odds of any team on a 10 game winning streak.

Park in a carpark on Flinders st. Tram or walk from there. That's the quickest way out. The car park is closed for 20 minutes after the game at the MCG. You'll be in your car and away before the MCG car park opens let alone get out of it

Methinks a quicker getaway would be to NOT park at the ‘G. Perhaps you could park at a train station (eg: North Melbourne) and from there it’s a relatively short train ride to the ground.

“Upstarts” -  Can’t  think of a more fitting description. Well I can, only every second word would be censored. 

We’ll get the job done tonight and we’ll revel in their misery.  

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

I tend to park in a side street on the east side of Punt Road and north of Bridge Road. 20 minute walk to the ground. Plenty of alternative escape routes that avoid Punt Road traffic

My work hours vary each day depending on the job, so I’ve taken today off just to be sure I’m hone in time….

[Colm]

Big day has arrived. I’m very confident today, probably more confident than I have been for any game this season. Think we will see big Max back to his pre injury form. 
Think our midfield will go to another level and we win by over 5 goals. 
Let’s smash these one trick ponies. 

[WalkingCivilWar]

And hey, should we lose tonight (except we won’t), but if we do, let’s all NOT point the finger at Ed. To suggest that the outcome of a match can be even partly attributed to the pregame words of one player is foolish.

Our loss to them had 4 key talls out or injured.  Made Mr USA look like Mr Universe.  Not tonight, baby!  System system system. Lets show them what a premiership team looks like…

Dees by 40.  (90 to 50)

[Redleg]

Mihocek is a big in for them, as he always plays well against us.

Hey Binnie .... are you confident? 

You are the person whose opinion* I respect the most. 

 

FWIW ... the day has started well for me. Got Wordle in 2/6!

It’s funny that on Sportsbet now we’re shorter fave to beat Collingwood, 3rd on the ladder ($1.36) than Carltank next week ($1.39). There’s a lot of money very confident in the Dees tonight.

Forthwith, Ed will now be referred to as either "Colourful Melbourne Identity, Mr. Ed Langdon", or "Outspoken former Dockers player Langdon". After winning this years Norm Smith, references will be made to "F^&*ing Deez Legend, Langers".

He hardly had a touch last time until Turner got injured and we lost Petty for a large slab of time late in the second quarter. He should get more attention tonight.
