So, we meet the Great Enemy again, at the 'Gabba on a Sunday afternoon after a 9 day break.
We will probably be on TV, for the 4th week on the trot.
The Meat Pies have had it over us in recent times, one of the signs we were in an ordinary patch. Can we break that trend? We have done some good trend breaking of late.
If we kick like we did last night, we might be a serious trouble.
Live Long and Prosper!

I posted this earlier in the year, but we currently have a win/loss record of
127 wins
126 Losses
4 draw
.....against Collingwood. Obviously a loss would even the ledger at 127-127-4
The last time the win/loss were even between us was after the 1981 Grand Final. We have been in front since then.
Lets make sure we win this one to keep that streak alive!

Collingwood have a terrible injury list - a lot of their good players, forward, mids and backs. We would be a lock for winning this based on injuries alone. DeGoey, Howe, Quaynor, Reid, Sier, Treloar.
Mihocek, Quaynor, Roughead all 50/50. Not to mention Beams, although maybe including him isn't quite right.

How many times were Collingwood a 'lock' to beat us in the past 20 years during our dark years? How many times did we upset them?
There is no such as a lock between these 2 teams.

To say nothing of what appear to be a few off field disciplinary issues.

No Sidebottom either, gone home to be with his partner who is about to give birth, if we cant beat this weakened Collingwood there should be a Royal Park commission....

We could improve our chances dramatically just by converting more of our goal scoring opportunities.
Reality always wins in the end.

Not to mention a 9 day v 6 day break.
