But in that mix are also 4 games won by less than a goal, three games won by about 2 goals, a 4 point loss and a 33 point loss. 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.
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.
