Game On! Pies v. Blues. Updates, all comments.

[Donny]

Tonight. MCG. 7.30

Collingwood v. Carlton.

Pendles' 400th. game.

Let's hear ya !!

[BazBoy]

Carlton have been patchy over the last bit
Two wins / three losses
But playing us will bring out the rivalry (the hate to get beat by us
But that’s a two sided sword. So too do we hate them beating us

I’m feeling their desire for the hard ball will be in our favour

[Skids]

Won 8 of our last 10 against this bunch.

Pendles 400th & underdogs ($2.65)..... I can't see any other outcome, but a Magpie victory.

[Jezza]

Treat this like a mini Grand Final. Hopefully our supporters come out in force.

There's no excuses. We need to get ourselves up for Pendles and to give our season a glimmer of hope while destroying Carlton's in the process.

Leave nothing on the table.

[Piesnchess]

If we cannot make the Final 8, them make this "our GF", like other sides do to us. Blues are in a world of pain, confidence gone, fans spewing, we hit them at a good time. The pressure is massively on them, not us, and we are the underdogs, always better. Throw everything at these ponces, plus the kitchen sink,play like maniacs, for our legend Pendles, do him proud, and win by 5 points!!. After that,anything else this injury ruined season, is a ruddy bonus.

[SLORT]

Yeah, no injuries from a game, how rare has that been this season. So, Richards, Kroog's and McCreery are possible ins, and Dean did well in the magoos. I know I've banged on a bit about letting players settle in positions but this week against Carlton I'd think about putting Special K on Curnow. K has the energy and intensity, height and mobility to really mess up Charlies hair (as long as it doesn't lead to a maggot fiesta of frees...). I know we don't seem to play 3 talls in offense, but it would be a shame to see Kroog's dropped now Cox and McStay are back. That's assuming McKay is back in their team. If not then it probably doesn't matter.

Treat this like a mini Grand Final. Hopefully our supporters come out in force.

We should treat it like a Prelim final. We win a good % of those.

[warburton lad]

Outs: Noble, Harrison, Lipinski (all omitted)
Ins: Markov, McCreery, De Goey

Harrison and Lipinski barely touched the ball yesterday whilst everything Noble touched turned to mud.

The inclusion of McCreery up forward and De Goey in the middle will add to our aggression and enable us to put maximum pressure on the Carlton defence.

Continue the pain for Carlton and do our very best to finish the year ahead of a fading Essendon mob should be our goal for the last four weeks given finals seem a remote possibility now.

[RudeBoy]

I'm not sure we will have De Goey available. His OP problem seems to be worsening, rather than improving.
As WL mentioned, Lipinski and Harrison went missing against Richmond, which was very disappointing as we need these players at their best. I'd give them both a couple of games in the magoos, to freshen them up.

Despite his 25 possessions, I was not so impressed with Bytel, as he seemed to turn the ball over with every disposal he had. Nevertheless, the fact he was able to get the ball, suggests he may simply need to settle into the pace of senior footy and work on his decision-making under pressure.

Out: Lipinski, Harrison, Parker

In: McCreery, Markov, Richards

[SLORT]

Out: Lipinski, Harrison, Parker

In: McCreery, Markov, Richards

I agree with your assessment of DeGoey, seems to be flirting with danger to bring him in and out of the team.

Not worried about the Blues height in offense? Moore and Howe vs McKay and Curnow? Or are we playing IQ on one of them...as a speed bump?

I was thinking , if and I say, IF, we have a good lead over the Bluescum ,in last couple of mins of the match, last qtr, instead of doing the C O L L I N G W OOOOOD chant, as its Pendles big day, why not do a Pendles chant , loud n proud, like, P E E E N D L E E B U R R Y. with thousands chanting the legendary name , of perhaps Collingwood's GOAT player, certainly the greatest I have ever seen, ever. ! Just saying.

[Take_a_Screamer]

Gee, that's a good start, Fly said that we will “turn up” for Scott Pendlebury’s 400th game against Carlton on Saturday night and urged fans to do the same. I hope he sets the alarm clock, just in case...

Collingwood promises its best in Scott Pendlebury’s milestone game

[Mr Miyagi]

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted our lads to win as much as I want them to win this week. Maybe even more than the last grand final.

[RudeBoy]

Can we play Krueger alongside Cox and McStay? If so, then we might see the following changes to our line-up.

In: Krueger, McCreery, Richards, Markov

Out: Harrison, Lipinski, Sullivan, Parker
