You can't argue with their W/L, but IMO you also can't argue with the luck aspect either. I'm not suggesting they're cr@p by any means, but they are more gettable than the hype would suggest. There's an article I was reading earlier today (for the life of me I can't find it now) that was quoting some very average numbers in some of their statistical indicators.
They always trail and chase games - defence needs to be on their game and I'm sure they would.

I agree Paul and particularly in this season of contrary results.
Logic suggests that they’ll chalk up another win, but they’re far from invincible. Even without Walsh, McKay and Silvagni, we’ve got a 22 that is capable of curbing their stars and exploiting their second tier players.
A lot will depend on our forward line. McGovern might be the popular choice to go forward but I hope that we use Kemp. He has the skill set to make life very difficult for any of the Collingwood defenders.
It should be a fascinating contest and I’m looking forward to seeing how we go about it.

We have a solid team named assuming there are no late outs, if we bring what we have brought the last 5 weeks we are a chance. It will be the hardest game we will play and a true test against the best. I noticed the Filth were doing scenario training complete with a scoreboard and time clock. Perhaps they are expecting a tight tussle, either way I hope we don't undo all the hard work of the last several weeks and put in a crap performance.
Go Blues.

Go Blues.

I could see Kemp being a good match up for Elliot.....Elliot is good overhead and quick.

There lies the difference IMO. Their depth and experience playing together v our developing depth and injury list.
Go Blues

Yep - they do it too often.
I didn’t think we had a chance but looking at the side in apart from Walsh, Harry and maybe Jack it’s pretty much the best team we can field. No one ever has no injuries so have 3 who can’t play is not an excuse imo.
We have everything to play for and they are sitting clear and a loss to them pretty much means nothing.
Odds have pies very short favs im not so sure. Will be disappointed if we are not within 3-4 goals of them if we happen to lose
Its been a very tough time during this rebuild as a blue boy - time our club gave us something to really celebrate.
Blues by 10.
