Interesting facts:
The Blues have won six games and lost six games from 12 in total: but the stats extend far beyond that.
The Blues currently have a percentage of 100 per cent, having scored and conceded 756 points in 2020. The inaccuracy in front of goal on the weekend also means the Blues have kicked 108 goals and 108 behinds.
They’ve also won a game after the siren (Round 12), lost one after the siren (Round 7), won by a solitary point (Round 4), lost by a solitary point (Round 2), have won two games in a row twice and lost two games in a row twice.
Let’s knock off the Pies.
We will.
Pies have been ordinary against anyone decent.
Got smashed by the Dees and even whipped by the Dockers, in between soft wins against the Crows, Swans and North (last night).
Blues by 41.

Kennedy or Cottrell?
Do i need to give you the answer?
(Pies aren't a quick side....certainly not minus Sidebottom, De Goey and Howe)
Kennedy is clearly the better player at present.....but in saying that, Cottrell is a better runner and more physical. Long term i think he will inherit the tagging role from Ed. Pies have a few talented midfielders i wouldn't mind trying to stop....
For team balance, i think we'd be better off playing both and dropping a ruck.....but nobody deserves to be dropped.

I feel dropping a few marks in greasy conditions isn't a reason to blame him for the world of unrelated sins, so I do not think too much can be read into it!
McKay has hands like a couple of bobcat buckets and twice the ball flew straight through barely hindered by his presence!
I’m still none the wiser who (in your opinion) the conditions actually suited ?

I know there's blokes who are equally adept on either foot, some more than others, but to be so totally one sided these days is hard to fathom.Shizen it was embarrassing, he could have thrown it onto his right foot and it would have rolled that far!

I think Kennedy is quite physical in the way he plays. Watch him. Cottrell has that Mitch Robinson kamikaze look about him IMHO , which makes him look more physical than others. Whether its energy well spent lets see over time. Robbo has learnt to play smarter over the journey since he left us I think. He is still no good with a mike in his hand though!

Big test for both this week, Pies have a good midfield even with some real star power out, reckon Tom Philips would be a good target for Cottrell to tag..

I hope, being by far our biggest game since 2013, we don't $hit the bed.

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
Dayne Beams Mental health Indefinite
Jordan De Goey Finger 3-5 weeks
Jeremy Howe Knee 3-5 weeks
Will Kelly Elbow Season
Brody Mihocek Concussion Test
Isaac Quaynor Shin Test
Ben Reid Hamstring 2-3 weeks
Steele Sidebottom Personal Indefinite
Brayden Sier Quad 3-4 weeks
Adam Treloar Hamstring 2-3 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, August 25
Early prognosis
Collingwood remains hopeful that both De Goey and Howe will return for the club's finals campaign, should it qualify. Its chances of doing that will be bolstered by the return of Mihocek from a concussion for Sunday's clash with Carlton. Quaynor could also recover from a nasty gashed shin, but Treloar and Reid are still at least a fortnight away. Sidebottom returns to Victoria this week for the birth of his child. - Riley Beveridge

and cant see them kicking enough goals unless someone like Elliott has a day out.
