Thread: Home preliminary vs collingwood

  1. #1

    Home preliminary vs collingwood

    How huge would that be ?

    We'd be able to finally put the "full house" sign up an ANZ.


    And although the pies have beaten us a lot lately, I'd love to play them in a prelim. I think they are fading, and what better place to end the hoodoo.

    When they beat us, again, five weeks ago I consoled myself by hoping we'd play them in the finals and finally end the hoodoo when it really mattered. The Pies appear to be in a form slump and our boys will be on a high. At home, with a GF at stake, with even the law of averages on our side, I reckon we'll do it.

    I can see I'm going to be a wreck for the next 2 weeks. I hope that the three teams who have to sort it out on our side of the finals equation just belt the crap out of each other and and we give the sole survivor a right touch up in the prelim.

    Yesterday's results show that the teams that the 'experts' pick don't always make it thru. On one hand I want us to play Collingwood but on the other I would be happy not to face them again this year....

    Yes, let's hope they get beat next week as that would be a double, no that would be a triple/quadruple bonus. We wouldn't have to play them, our recruiters can start to arrange Cloke signing on with us for next season and we can see the last of Buckleys/Eddie's face for this year :-)

    I think Dermie was spot on yesterday when he said all the teams that have played finals so far have looked tired, I think the week off is huge. I hope Collingwood get through and for us to break our losing srteak in a final...how good would that be Knocking Collingwood out off a prelim...

    Cheers

    I'm really hoping for the Pies. My 'Wheel of Fate' premiership fantasy is:

    - knock over Adelaide at AAMI (check),
    - pick off the Pies at ANZ (please)
    - do to an over-confident Hawthorn what they did to Geelong in 08.

    The footy gods will love it.

    I think there would be one or two people on here that might enjoy it also....

    I`d personally love to see WC get through so we can thump them in a Home prelim by 60 odd points. That`d wipe the grins off their faces...

    We had 65,000 against Fremantle in a Preliminary Final at ANZ and one against North Melbourne would draw that at least, if not more.

    So no, the AFL would not care less who we played there.
