Saturday morning is one of the best parts of my week. Lie in, brewed coffee and toast. All spoilt by having every media outlet (TV, social media & internet)gushing over everything Pies, Collingwood, and Daicos. Vomit inducing.

Having said that, yes Daicos can be soft, but he is an absolute gun if you give him a centimetre of space and has a habit of being "lucky" late in games. No luck, simply a very good footy brain and super skills to execute in high pressure moments. And channel 7 constantly showing his dad Peter is excruciating, but he is now a channel 7 person so this is going to go on for some time.

Is it wrong to want a whisky so early in the morning? I will leave the Dalmore, and maybe go the Monkey Shoulder (best budget whisky in the world). This might get me over all this Collingwood BS. 

Does not complimenting Daicos earn you  3 weeks on Lands sidelines.?

Saved by alcohol reference I guess

This is going to sound strange because I know we don't pull the crowds, but I was surprised they didn't get at least 90,000 last night

[No. 31 1,236]

Was at the MCG last night. Other than the first quarter, Collingwood out tackled, out pressured a fairly listless Carlton. Quite simply the Pies were hungrier, wanted it more and Carlton had too many passengers. The worst performance by the Blues this season and amazingly still only lost by one late goal (mostly due to the goals of McKay and Owies).

If the Blues bring that level of intensity on Thursday the Dees will win.

I think McGovern is back for next week so perhaps a bit more stability in defence might be seen for the Blues.

Still, I think the Blues are playing better than last season at the same time and being competitive and a chance to win even when not switched on.

88,500 is still a big crowd for a Friday night.

I hate the filth. That daicos goal made me vomit.

I put watching a Pies win and a pap smear on the same level of enjoyment. 

Except one is necessary and can save my life, the other is just torture for no gain.

You could put the pies and the Pap smear in the same petrie dish without causing confusion.

Doesn't he play for Sydney?

Did I just hear the commentator say welcome to a sold out SCG?? It's either half empty or a lot of people have come dressed as aqua coloured seats. 

[BDA 22,755]

I expected a bigger crowd at the SGC. quite a few empty seats

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,369]

I reckon visiting interstate clubs bring a bigger crowd with them to the SCG than GWS do.

Coz Gws usually pants Sydney and the Swan's fans are the biggest fair weather supporters about. But I'm expecting a Sydney win today.

That's because all interstate clubs bar Gold Coast have far bigger fan bases. I would hazard a guess that Pies have more NSW based fans than GWS have fans in total.

excellent goal james jordon

Or perhaps the SCG to them is what Marvel is to our "supporters".

Can I please take this prediction back?

[spirit of norm smith 16,468]

James Jordon.  Nice goal.   Wish he was still at the Dees.  A free agent gift to the Swans.  
 

The bloke 23 Hogan for the Giants looks like a very good key forward.  😭😭

To be fair the SCG is a good hour away from the west of sydney

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Umbrellas allowed at the SCG?

[BDA 22,755]

goal kicking not too flash by either side
