Hi all,

"Cheer, Cheer the Red and the White

Honour the name by day and by night

Lift that noble banner high

Shake down the thunder from the sky

Whether the odds be great or small

Swans will go in and win over all

While her loyal sons are marching

Onwards to victory"

Not a big fan of the Swans but I hope they beat the Pies..!

I'll be there on Saturday night @ the G.

M12 row DD <- Best letters ever!!!

There is no way Sydney will allow the piues to beat them 3 times in one year

Oooo yeah!

:lol:

But yeah, I'm with you - The won't let the Pies get over the top of them in a final surely.

You never can be too sure in finals series. Who knows maybe the Roos will smash the Cats and Hawthorn smack the Crows, finals are such a different game to Home & Away season.


I'll be there. CARN THE SWANERS. Got Swans hats and all. Don't even like the Swan. Don't hate the Pies as a club. But I detest there supporters and will give them everything I can possibly throw to get them back for booing big Neita.

Fair enough but did you actually go out & buy Sydney merchandise?

Ps. I hate Collingwood fans more than anyone - Freeeeeks!

Sydney will win by alot, who will play on Goodes?

Exactly mate. A few people I've spoken to think Heath Shaw but I don't really see how that would work.

He's the hardest to tag in the league as he can do EVERYTHING!

Either way, a very tough match-up for Collingwood. Aren't really the side to stop him - They don't really have a tall tagger who can run etc.

I thought the Sydney song started something like -

"We are all fair-weather fans,

losing a game will empty the stands..."

and ended with -

"switch back to the rugby league

the Swannies are history!"

But I might be mistaken.

Anyway, my tip is that the Collingwood/Sydney game will end up a lot like the Melbourne/Freo final last year. Hate to bring back memories, but at least we'll know that the Pies fans are really suffering, which is a bonus.

The best part is, even if Collingwood win this week, even if they win again next week, at some point, inexorably, unstoppably, their unshakable fate is to fall short. Again.

Didn't like your song but yeah it's not like they'll go all the way...

Go swannies!

Sydney's my next favourite team due to the fact that my brother supports them and i nearly know as much about them as i do about the Dees!

I'll be there cheering for the red and white!

Cheer Cheer the red and the white...

How good will next weekend be... I'll be happy whoever loses.

I'm so conflicted.

On the one hand, barracking for Collingwood is criminal, on the other hand, the Eagles are criminals.

Who do I hate more? Who deserves to lose? It's all too much!

:lol:

In cases like these you have to barrack against the home crowd! Besides it's kinda fun to watch Pies supporters get their hopes up and then have them crushed.

Have to admit, i thought that the Pies would be bungled out in the first week. But they looked pretty good last night and i give them half a chance against a WC outfit that is underdone.

Always happy to eat humble pie when i'm wrong, this one particuarly tastes bad.

I have to admit that in this game i had a gut feeling that the filth would beat the swans :blink::mellow::o

No Judd, No Kerr and No Cousins... injury concerns over Priddis, Wirrapanda and Embley still underdone... nope Collingwood for mine.

Cats should be laughing either way.

WCE are on the ropes with no midfield and their season on and off the ground has been long. Eagles will travel to the G to get crushed. No midfield...no hope.

If Collingwood prevail, it will take a big effort and they may played their "grand final" over in the West prior to the preliminary final against the Cats.

The other side of the draw is an interesting one.

Port Power will be sweating on this one if Hawks win against Kangas. Hawks beat them at Football Park earlier this year but were embarrassed by the Crows later in the year. If Franklin is on fire, Hawks could get to a GF. FWIW, I cant see Kangas bouncing back. They were humiliated today and stripped bare.

It's actually played at Subi Rhino... poor Maggies they have to travel... Eddie will think his throats been cut.

I think you're right about the Hawks and Power... as Long as the Hawks can escape unscathed this week it should be a cracker of a match. You'd have to think Geelong will be absolute monty's for the Premiership now. My how quickly fortunes can change in footy. Open up a new line of betting for 08 - I reckon after the flyers teams have had this year, all sixteen will think they have a genuine chance for the premiership next year.

Collywobbles will get smacked this week, no chance of them winning over there, not enough ferrals supporting them (Remembers the hideous beings at the game Saturday night and shudders). Hawks and Roos will be a very interesting one but i think the hawks will just strape through...again.

 

I wouldn't write them off completely if the Eagles are without Judd, Kerr, Cousins etc.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
