    It's great sometimes living in a city of 5.5M people that is, you know, "flying under the radar". At least in footy terms.
    And while I'm here ; Mason Cox.... history is not going to be kind to this boofhead and his stupid glasses.
    What I was about to say... (Except the last bit about Cox anyway). It's just not news here in Sydney - Collingwood can rabbit on as much as they like - we'll just focus on the match on Saturday.

      Blakey has interesting comment in this article
      “As a back six, we’ll defend well and then as the game breaks open a bit, hopefully we’ll start moving the ball and coming into our own.”
      I think it is comforting (probably not the right word) to see they are planning on dealing with the Pies pressure game and then, hopefully, playing our game

        SEN reporting Joey has strained his hammy again. Has played his last game sadly.

          Such a shame about Joey. Would have made a good sub for the GF!

          His loss is good for Campbell though.

            ... or Cunningham?

              That’s very sad. Would have been great if he could have been medisub in the PF and/or GF

                I seem to remember our esteemed and popular captain in 2005 was struck down by injuries and unable to make it back for finals, and ultimately having to retire. Bad news for him, his teammates and fans, but it seemed to turn out ok for us that year.....

                  The dribble continues. McRae is now back to saying they didn't lose to the ground, they lost to the Swans, whilst his players are still saying they played the ground badly.

                  Lord, this has been the most mind numbing week of footy commentary and journalism I've seen in years. I'll be glad when it's over and hope we smash the living daylights out of them.

                    There also seems to be a train of thought in the media, that reckons that since Collingwood outran Fremantle, then they're going to outrun us. Which ignores the fact that in our recent meeting, we outran Collingwood by a long way, and that all over the ground, we have both pace and a selection of tireless gut runners.

                      Yeah, the Melbourne media is full of ****, they are so desperate to ramp up the Pies chances and also pushing the 'fairytale' aspect though the roof.....obviously hoping for a 2016 style umpiring display. It is sickening but I reckon we'll well and truly shut them up. Then what will they rabbit on about in GF week? A Cats 'fairytale'? FFS!

                      It would be hilarious if it ended up being a Swans/Lions GF! They would be lost.....

                        Freo outscored them in the 2nd half.

                          That would be brilliant.

                          But if Geelong do get through, you watch: it'll be all about Dangerfield finally getting 'his' flag that he 'deserves'. It'll make coverage of the Pies 'fairytale' look bland and unbiased by miles.

                            I wouldn't discount it. Anything is possible. Weren't Brisbane meant to get smashed last week?
                            Truth is no one really knows what is going to happen.

                              I woke this morn convinced that Amatey is a more difficult match-up for the pies than Mc Donald. So that change too

                                No, they’d be fine. The Melbourne media will just play up the South vs Fitzroy angle.
