DeGoey playing like a spud

Hobbs 🤮

Back to a game to watch, bummers woke up.

Sidebottom a meter+ over the mark against Goldstein there. Umps say nothing. Imagine our blokes doing that "50!" which would end up becoming 70 meters and an easy shot at goal

I know a lot of Melbourne supporters like to downplay Collingwood’s prospects, probably because of recent history between the 2 teams.

However, which team would you be confident of beating Collingwood on prelim or grand final day at MCG?

Perhaps Geelong?

Essendon 😋

momentum is a helluva thing in modern footy

None confidently, which is sickening.

Problem is the Pies are so hard to beat at the MCG, particularly in finals.

They truly have have the inside running to win the flag if they finish top 2, or play week 1 at the MCG as the ‘away’ team (by finishing 3rd or 4th).

It'll depend very much on how the old bodies hold up over a season, both for injuries and fatigue.

I still think they are very suspect. Brittle enough to not even reach finals. #bigcall

Yeah I’m being a bit tongue in cheek. They’re not head and shoulders above everyone else. Bears/GWS aren’t playing their best, Crows look dangerous. Geelong are Geelong.

A lot of footy still to go this season.

It’s a huge call to say Collingwood will miss finals.

Probably too huge a call.

if one of sidebottom or pendlebury goes down they are in the [censored], they are carrying them so hard along with nick

Bad call. Premature call. You can’t be serious call.

Yep I agree with this. They do play a winning style of footy, however their game is very taxing on the older bodies.

I can’t see Pendles and SideBottom which are relied upon staying fresh through the whole season. Pendles already coming in off the bench is starting to show his age.

Underestimate Collingwood at your peril

I see them playing a GF again

Which they’ll win cause the umpires and entire league is arranged around ensuring they receive favourable umpiring , treatment at the tribunal , etc etc

It’s cruelled my interest in the game tbh

Only time I go for bombers is against the Pies

Super, I hold a different view. I suspect some of their older players will be found out over the course of a long season. At least I hope so.

By God I hate supporting Essendon.

Why can't this be a traditional Swans v Lion game?

naicos is unstoppable

Asking genuinely, was Ben McKay really good at Kangas? I never really watched any of their games.

Plus crowd support and as a result, umpiring favour.

Unless the opposition is winning by 40 points at 3/4 time, you know the umpires will bring them back into it

Right ok. Hope Essendon give him even more money.
