I am in balmy Bathurst with a beer in hand ready as I can be.. The only sad thing about tonight is that Eddie is over in London. So we wont get to see shots of his mug looking all forlorn when we dish it out to his bunch of scum.. McVeigh to kick the 1st goal..
Level 6 is open, and it's been a while since that was the case. Should be a big night!
No rain in sight either.
The prize goes to Satch.. LRT 1st goal..
Umpires getting it done again....
What no rain in sight????....
I hope we can beat Collingwood tonight. We are due to break the losing streak. Last year's 6-point loss was at a time when Collingwood were thumping everyone else. Had Collingwood not had red-hot form when we played them last year, we would have ended the streak last year.
Last year's Collingwood form, with ladder position of opponents at the time Collingwood played them:
R10 Collingwood 16.9 (105) West Coast (6th) 7.11 (53)
R11 Collingwood 16.12 (108) St Kilda (11th) 7.9 (51)
R12 Melbourne (9th) 6.5 (41) Collingwood 19.15 (129)
R13 Bye
R14 Sydney (6th) 14.9 (93) Collingwood 13.21 (99)
R15 Collingwood 15.16 (106) Hawthorn (3rd) 9.11 (65)
R16 Collingwood 22.15 (147) North Melbourne (10th) 3.12 (30)
We held them to below 100 points in round 14 last year, the only time that Collingwood failed to reach 100 points between round 9 and 16 inclusive.
The only side to score more than 93 points against Collingwood in the whole of the 2011 season was Geelong, who beat Collingwood 3 times in 2011 (the only 3 losses that Collingwood had for the entire season).
If we can replicate last year's form, we should beat them comfortably.
A win against Collingwood would give us a very good chance of a top-two finish. It would also give a lot of credibility to our premiership aspirations.

Yet again we lose a first quarter...
Goodes should not be in this side.....he has lost it I am afraid...whatever his injury was has really robbed him of what he was....
The pies aren't giving our boys any space. Need another strategy tonight I think.
We did not handle their pressure very well...
That is just silly.Originally Posted by Swans500
