What better way to start the year than flogging the crap outta the Mudpies......

After the last 3 years, I'm glad it's someone other than St Kilda!

I've heard that Collingwood's first home game is against carlton

[Go Swannies]

Great, get them when they are all ego and after a short summer training period.

[BeeEmmAre]

Would be very surprised if Collingwood's first home game wasn't at the MCG with their flag unveiling etc. I'd also be surprised to see them get any home games at Docklands given the crowd of ferals that'll turn up to every game the year after a flag.
Tips me lid if you're proven right though Matt.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Read that they get the bye in round two. Strange to have two byes in a row?

[royboy42]

I'll just be happy not to start the year against St Kilda...the sort of scheduling we've had the last few years will convince some dill at AFL HQ that it's become a tradition, and we'll be stcuck with them for 100 years!

Collingwood do not play at Etihad, their home ground is the MCG. Etihad can't fit the crowd size they draw.

After the late finish to this season, 2011 is just the year you want St.Kilda in the first round so you can bet it won't happen now!

We're playing GC and GWS in the NAB Cup

There is absolutely no way Collingwood's first proper game after the premiership will be at Etihad. Do Collingwood even play away games at Etihad?

[goswannie14]

As a "home" game, I would be very surprised if they were to play it at Etihad, with the unveiling of the flag, there would not be the capacity for even the Pies members to get in there.

[ItsAllGoodes]

...... there would not be the capacity for even the Pies members to get in there.

And thats a bad thing....why????

[goswannie14]

And thats a bad thing....why????

2 reasons. If they can't all get in, none of us will. Remember the first hiome game in 2006. How would you have felt if you weren't able to get into the game and see the flag unfurled?
