the pies beating the eagles, i will believe that when i see it, after the way the pies have played the last couple of weeks they don't deserve to be in the 8.
Neither Collingwood or West Coast are travelling too sweetly. I can't pinpoint an exact reason why Collingwood are on the slide, but they need to do something different. As Im working most of the time I haven't seen the structure of Collingwood (Or many sides) this year. Some of the things they could try include Rocca in the Ruck and Josh Fraser in the forward line. Playing a conventional small forward line basically where you have Buckley as your full forward or centre half forward, mixed with Didak, Leon Neon and Burns. Not much you can really change in the midfield, and the defense looks pretty set.
Perhaps another thing is because Collingwood in the past have been criticised for being slow across the midfield and have now recruited younger faster players, perhaps because a lot of the younger players are still only young they are starting to fade out?
This season for Collingwood really reminds me of the year the beat Port in the first final (I was there that night unfortunately). Everyone had practically written them off that year because they finished the season poorly or something like that.
i will be there Richo, with Tarrant, Didak and Bucks all under a injury cloud i give the West Coast a fair chance of winning and there is no one at Collingwood that can come close to closing Judd down.
Cousins is 40/60 chance of playin with a back injury. We are a show here i believe. If we can win this we a re still a real shot at top 4. With the sides we play on the run home.
Didak will probably miss howver which will hurt us.
How about Michael Gardner? you think he would get a hint after his first **** up. I dont know about WC fans but Cousins and Gardner are two players i wouldnt want around my club.
west coast will win, It is roccas 200 but that fat piece of dog s**t wont make a difference, collingwood have so much DEAD WOOD in their foward line!!

Settle down there Jonno on Rocca. Little harsh dont you think lol.
calling our forward line dead wood in pretty harsh too considering we have 4 players who have kicked over 20 goals so far this season. Compare that to yours and all you have is Neitz and Robbo. So settle grettle.
Kyle, all we have is robbo and neitz is laughable
Davey, Yze, Bruce, Green all get thrown in the foward line and we have Dunn as our leading CHF. ALOT more potent foward line than c-wood.
we were robbed of a draw against the crows because of the umpire
travelled to perth and got ran off our legs in the last
and started 0-3
now 11-12! i say the bandwagon is already rolling.
this week will be a tough game though and its the first time ive had to say that for a while.
beleive it or not, Adem Yze has better stats in just about every area except goals than Didak and is ranked higher than Didak...
Both play foward although Yze sometimes play's back.
and about that snow call, the FACT is we havent dropped off since the spilt in fact we are 3-0 after the split and have won our last 6 matches.
c-wood are slipping and will continue to slip and if it wasnt for the most bullshit favoured schedual in the AFL they wouldnt make the finals from the position they currently are in. But with only 2 away games from melbourne left and the bottom 4 teams they got coming up they will just make it.
they will lose BOTH their trips too SA though, mark my words..
Thought I'd be the first to say "Hi" and welcome all the Pies fans back!
Was a good contest and good win to the Pies so well done. As a Wc fan I'm disappointed with the result but am satisfied with the performance of the all the team. One exception is Andrew McDougal who is a complete waste of space who constantly shows minimal effort. In a tight game it was great to see WC get their first free kick of the second half when the pies were 5 goals in front in the last quarter.
Tazza got a few goals but still plays like a fairy. Rocca was about the only "bad" pie player in his big one.
With so many outs and underdone players for WC it wasn't a suprise that Collingwood were the better team. Pies deserved the win.
