Pies simply aren't very good at present. Sidebottom's a huge loss.
Bombers 63, Pies 48
Eagles 111, Pies 45
Dockers 61, Pies 49,
Dees 100, Pies 44.
We bring it, we'll win by a fair margin.

With Sidebottom out they are hugely reliant on 4 players for run and carry - Pendles & Adams in the midfield, and Maynard and Crisp off half back. Outside of that they don't have much. Grundy has been up and down, and Moore is impressive but we just need to play smart bringing the ball forward and stretch their defence.
Ed to Pendles for mine. Newnes playing a defensive role on Maynard.
I reckon they have more headaches matching us up, especially Cripps, Martin, Betts and McKay - than we have worrying about them. They are not a high scoring side and have limited threats inside 50. We should get enough ball and shots to win - we just need to convert our opportunities and we should win comfortably.

This could go anyway Really.
Main thing is if we have turned the corner, that big huge corner we haven’t been able to turn convincingly for some time, Sunday is the day to show it.

nailed it Laj.
easily the most important game for a number of years. nothing is more important than beating collingwood to setup a run at the finals. but we have a horrible recent history of showing some promise, getting some respect and a shot at finals, and then crapping our pants on the big stage. especially when the media blows smoke up our butts and the boys get a bit ahead of themselves.
if we've turned the corner for real this time, we'll beat them (only just if they come to play for real), or we'll pants them. Either way, we'll win this one. And I don't care if it's by a point.
I'd like to see one or both of Kennedy and Dow in. Not sure who goes out. Dow was my pick for surprise packet this year, which wasn't looking good early, and then he got injured and missed a heap, so looked even worse. Even so, I think he'll play 2 or 3 of the last games, and hope he'll show what I hoped he'd show. Ya know.

I too had big Hope's for Dow, still do. And I see Dow's brother is in line to get his first game this week. May spur him on...

his errors by foot could derail the game for us in important moments.
Dont think its a game where we can get too cute or experimental.....

I think the current team has a lot more resolve than previous years. Docherty’s presence on the ground means a lot, Weitering is not intimidated these days, Martin adds X factor and toughness, Setterfield has turned into a tackling machine, Gibbons backs himself, the big Pit won’t be intimidated by Grundy (might not beat him, but won’t be intimidated!) Cripps and Ed know what is required..... we will be the hunted this week, let them worry about us.
