[magpie joffa]

On the eve of the cut throat clash tomorrow at the "G" we all wanna wish collingwood all the best, for right at this minute we are a very big chance of being in this years finals a loss tomorrow will diminish all our hopes.

Collingwood you have shown us many times this season of what you are capable of at one stage this season we were the top 3 side of the competition.

Then we fell into a slump and we did find ourselves struggling a little one win in 5 weeks was pretty disasterous.

But the time has come to believe in your selves again the time has come if it hasnt run out allready, to show the football world that we are indeed a very good football side.

We the supporters have never lost our belief, we believe you can beat the bulldogs tomorrow.

We believe you can once again stand proud in battle.
We believe that at 4.40pm tomorrow we will all stand singing our club song in recognition of another great magpie victory.

We believe in you all it needs is for you to believe in your selves.

You can do it !!

PS anthony rocca....This is not a criticism mate but against melbourne you showed us all what you can do, you simply ripped the game apart you were a pure sensation.We need you to fire tomorrow anthony we need the big goals we need the big marks we need you to crush the packs apart good luck mate..we believe tomorrow will be your day.

On a lighter note its been 5 weeks since the gold wig has seen daylight i just thought i would let you all know THE GOLD WIG ALSO BELIEVES....we all believe tomorrow will go down into collingwoods history as 'PURE THUCKING GOLD'

MAY THE MAGPIE PROSPER.

Don't ask yourself what the club needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what Collingwood needs right now is people who have come alive.

Finals arrive early for Magpies
By Paul Gough

Saturday, August 11, 2001

COLLINGWOOD coach Mick Malthouse admits he feels like the AFL finals have arrived a month early.

And Malthouse knows the result of tomorrow's cut-throat clash between the Magpies and the Western Bulldogs at the MCG will have a major bearing on whether his side is part of the September action for the first time since 1994.

The two sides are separated by percentage only with Geelong, Adelaide and the Kangaroos also still in the hunt for the eighth and last place in the finals with just four rounds remaining.

'When you've got two clubs both on nine (wins) and nine (losses) then it really is a double whammy game,' Malthouse said of tomorrow's clash.

The two teams are separated by 12.3 percent, gained mainly when the Magpies (8th) walloped the Bulldogs (11th) by 12 goals back in Round Three.

But in recent weeks the young Magpies have appeared tired with the battle-hardened Bulldogs, chasing a club record fifth successive finals appearance, warm favourites tomorrow.

However Malthouse said he is convinced the Magpies are still genuine finals material despite four losses in the past five games.

'We are in the eight because we have won games against several top eight sides,' he said.

'It gives us an idea that we are good enough to be in the top eight.'

'But tomorrow we are playing a disciplined side that for the past four years has been in the finals and that alone is enough incentive for us to make sure we don't give up what we've got and that's our berth in the top eight.'

However Malthouse admits several key players will have to lift if the team is to maintain eighth place over the final month with key young duo Josh Fraser and Chris Tarrant struggling in recent weeks.

Malthouse said form slumps had to be expected from inexperienced players.

'Young players have their ebbs and flows and as the year goes on they probably have more games below their standard than above it,' he said.

'But a few other individuals have stepped up and what we need this week is everyone carrying their weight.'
