Need to utterly destroy the scum today. Going to local Aussie pub in Phuket to watch the game, looks like there's going to be rain, hopefully not a ill omen of things to come. I want to sing Good Old Collingwood Forever in the rain!

What's with all these Sunday evening twilight games?Anyone would think that the A.F.L doesn't like us by giving us these terrible time slots.

I was too late for the early pre-game thread, so tough luck!

I wish Bucks would get better at Match Committee.
Absolutely should have Wills in there to Counter their bigger bodies, would've been great at CHB. Look for a big game from Daicos, he carved up the Northern Blues in the Rd2 120 point pantsing (As did Wills, prob.BOG <sigh>).

I'll be happy if the biggest lead is also the final score. We've been incredibly annoying these last 5 weeks giving back late goals in the last & stuffing up our %.
Most of all I hope we keep their score as tiny as possible. Tint scores are "in fashion" so to speak, even bizzarely small scores, not seen since early last century.

Will we hold he dreadfully undermanned & underperforming blues to one of these? Of course not! We don't do that. Every chance we'll keep them to just a few snags in the first 2 or 3, but we'll almost certainly let them double that in the last.

So. 4 possible outcomes. We win by a shitload, we scrape in by 5-25, They scrape in, or they kick us into next week. On paper the last is most likely. A hundred pointer is almost assured, or at least it would be for the other good sides: Richmond, Wet Toast, Sydney, Adelaide, etc... but us? It's a chance, but a 30-40 pointer is much more likely. Obviously this weekends results have shaken the 8 up, but ALL we need is the 4 points. That puts us in the top 4. Where we belong. This would be the beginning of our bid for a Minor
Flag, a Premiership, and then 2 or 3 more. 2018-2019-2020, & just maybe...

There really hasn�t been a completely dominant side since Hawthorn finished its Three-peat, and we have the people to do it.
Of course we could lose 3 guys & go down to Carlton, they have beaten us in the previous 2 seasons. But these guys are too good for that. Regardless of how things go early, our guys WILL fight, and should prevail through sheer talent.

As usual Bucks has made a dogs brekky of Match Committee, & with his usual over-conservative views has simply brought in Apples for Wells.
Wills or Sier would have been a far more suitable selection.
Still...

My Tip: Collingwood by 32. BOG: Brodes. Mihocek to be have a breakout game.

GO PIES!
(please win by a ton!)
