Swans V Pies

[giant]

Agree, deadset myth. Anyone saying he's soft or over-rated hasn't watched Collingwood this year. I think some people assumed that because he had long hair and did some flashy things, he must be soft.

Well, I watch a lot of the Pies (subjected to it by my Pies-loving missus) and while I agree with most of the hype about Thomas this season, for mine, I think he still picks and chooses his contests. He's not instinctively a hard at the ball footballer - that's OK, not everyone is, but I've been surprised by how he seems to be characterised as the new Scotty Burns. That ain't so. Personally, I think he's much less likely to hurt us playing where he has been this season compared to prior games where he's bobbed up with crucial arsy goals.

Yeah, that's probably a fair call, particularly the last sentence.

I don't think that Daisy is all that dangerous either. Lot's of hype. There are other Collingwood players that are far more dangerous than him. He needs to be closely checked though.

Female Thomas beat me in Dream Team

Who do you think would most likely match up with him?

Mick will exploit the match-ups though. If Daisy is on Mattner or Malceski I'd expect to see him drift forward and execute said "arsy" goals.

The key i feel is getting our match ups righ in terms of who to shut down and with whom.
I reckon Smith ( our best shut down man) to Didak ( This guy always kills us ) , Kennedy to Pendlebury, Rhys Shaw to Swan( did well on him last time) , Mattner to play defensive half forward on Heath Shaw, and Bolton head to head with Thomas, leaving them to worry about McVeigh and Hanners in the middle, Mal and Kenelly out of defense, and McGlynn up forward.
Couldn't think of who to put Kirky on? Theres still Sidebottom and Beams to worry about but we cant tag everyone. They'll have their work cut out up forward without Maxwell dropping in the hole and marking everything that comes into our F50 uncontested
Down back we should be solid with Reg and LRT, and maybe Rohan filling the hole and plucking some marks.

I just hope that the weather holds off - rain predicted - so how are the pies in the rain (apart from soggy - oh my sides!!!) we only have to win by 1 point - like we did in 2005 - I'm pretty sure we would be more than happy with that.

What's your sauce???

[Peace]

If Rohan stays in the side he would be a great match up on Daisy.... Goodesy looks to be ready for his usual 2nd half of the season blinder so hopefully he and Braddy give em a real headache. Also remember the last couple of years Malceski hasn't been anywhere near his current form so we should see some excellent kicks I50 from him as well as mcveigh.

15 ways to tell if you are a Collingwood Fan

# 16-Your house is on wheels and your car is on cinder blocks

A truck driver was driving down the highway to ANZ Stadium when he saw a priest at the side of the road. He stopped to pick up the priest and give him a ride.
A while down the road the truck driver saw a collingwood supporter on the side of the road. He turned the truck on a direct course with the collingwood supporter . However, remembering that a priests was in the truck with him, he swerved at the last moment to miss the collingwood supporter .

However, the truck driver heard a loud thump outside of the truck, and he looked in his rear-view mirror.

He turned to the priest and said "Sorry Father, I just missed that collingwood supporter at the side of the road."

The priest said, "Don't worry son, I got him with my door."

Very good Trickster.

Collingwood fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his Collingwood jumper. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St. Peter in a St. Kilda scarf.
"Hello mate" says St. Peter, "I'm sorry, no Collingwood fans allowed in Heaven".
"What?" exclaims the man, astonished.
"You heard. No Collingwood fans."
"But, but, but I've been a good man," replies the Collingwood supporter.
"Oh, really?" says St. Peter. "What have you done then?"
"Well," says the guy, "three weeks before I died, I gave 20 bucks to the starving children in Africa."
"Oh," says St. Peter. "Anything else?"
"Well, two weeks before I died, I also gave 20 bucks to the Albanian orphans."
"Hmmm. Anything else?"
"Yeah. A week before I died I gave 20 bucks to the Tsunami Relief Fund."
"Okay," says St. Peter, "you wait here a minute while I have a word with the Governor." Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns.
He looks the bloke in the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and He agrees with me. Here's your 60 bucks back, now p#ss off!"
