I have been astounded by the media’s analysis of tonight’s game.
The discussion has been all about what Collingwood need to do to stop GWS and their key playmakers.
I think that view is very short sighted as we have a far better team as will be shown tonight.

Pies by 42pts!!

Giants are the newest AFL sponsorship deal of course the media are all over them.

Remember '58 and the absolutely unbeatable Melbourne.

The media NEVER learn.

Feels like the media are all clutching at reasons WHY the Giants will beat us. I heard the same tripe during the 2019 GF week…. And Richmond came out and beat them by 1000 points.

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we come out and make a mess of them tonight.
Beware the swooping Magpie.

We've been making a lie of stats all year. We finished clear on top for a reason. We will do what is required to get through. I don't care if we lose contested possessions, inside fiftys, clearances or whatever damn useless stat... We'll still have a higher score on the board in the end!

Is it just me or had there been a total disregard by the media and wider anti-Collingwood community for the inclusion of a certain Daicos to our team???

Granted, he hasn’t played in 7 weeks, but for all we know it could be the freshen up his young battered body needed. Wouldn’t be surprised if he turns it on, and quickly.

If you're talking about the media and opposition supporters . . .

Well yeah . . .

It's called whistling in the dark and is a sure sign of increasing desperation.

You know the media and opposition true wishes for every flag . . . . .
. . . anyone but Collingwood.

Why are we complaining about this??? THE LAST Thing we want or need is the media banging on about how Collingwood will walk all over the top of them. 2019 anyone??? Hubaris is not needed...GWS are no easy beats...let the media talk about how this is GWS preliminary to lose and we are the underdogs!!!..that should be our teams mantra tonight

Guys and girls omens are rubbish.

Believe in the boys and the coaching panel instead.
