[What'sinaname]

Will be close to a full house with both teams in good form.
It's really a coin toss type of game. No reason both sides can't win this one.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Weather is a cool 16 degrees and a few showers
The deck to get greasy kind of different from yesterday
Expect an attendance in the high 90s k I’m going with 98k
Tough and hard at the start and Collingwood to win by 3 goals
As with Anzac Day medal I think Crisp is definitely due for a cracking game
But I’ll go for De Goey
No real changes from yesterday
Like to see reef in the starting lineup and possibly Marcov comes in and play as sub
No real impressive performance from the vfl today so unchanged I’ll go for
Anyway this is my line up ill go with on Anzac day at the MCG.

FB: Noble Frampton Howe
CB: Maynard Moore Quaynor
C: Josh Daicos Pendles Nick Daicos
CF: Hill Cox Shultz
FF: Elliott Checkers WHE
R: Cameron Mitchell JDG
INT: Sidy Crisp McCreey Lipinski
SUB: McInness or Harrison or Marcov

Pies by 97 or so.

Maybe I'm jumping at shadows here, but a 5-day turnaround worries me.

St Kilda got smashed against the Dogs coming off a 5-day turnaround, and same with Melbourne the week before against Brisbane.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

Massive test for us coming off a 5 day break but I'm hoping that the confidence gained from Port win will have us primed to play our brand of footy and move our win loss ratio into the positive. This is especially important given we play the scum after Anzac day.
Unchanged line up for mine, hopefully the timelord can rack up 10000 possessions and another Anzac day medal to go with it

[Harrysz]

Coming of a 5 day break might be a problem, I agree. But hey, Essendon's coming off a 6 day break so there shouldn't be any advantage there.

Good form? You called Port a better team, our season over, the coach's time done...

Any five day turnaround presents as a genuine challenge to all players concerned. To be fair, Essendon only played the night before, so they basically have a 5.5 day turnaround. If we’ve rotated and managed our senior players regularly in the first six rounds, I don’t see why we wouldn’t introduce a change or two after a five day break. Pulling Harrison and Sullivan out of the VFL was a telling decision, especially given the seniors had already played ( I’m assuming here both were fit to play )
No player wants to miss this game but it’s important Collingwood continue to play the long game with our senior players. Not sure what to expect but the possibility of some sort of change to the 22 seems like a serious option to me.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

We will be favourites and for good reason but it's Anzac Day, anything could happen. Watched them last week and they put the heat on the crows all night, honestly, I don't know how they didn't win by 6 goals. In saying that, crows are a bit flaky and our performance against port was far more impressive. What that all means for Anzac Day is probably nothing, just need to bring the heat for at least 3 quarters should do it.

And beating the better team on the weekend would suggest good form.
