How we played against Hawks wasn't good enough to beat the Cats.

We wil get done 4 to five goals if we play well they will kick away a bit in the last 3-4 goals to 1.

7-8 Goals if we play poorly again 3-4 goals to 1 in the last.

However I hope we win, I have to agree season depends on this game!

I think we're a good chance Friday night! I said it after the Carlton win and again there was real team spirit after the Eagles triumph that we carried through to the Hawks game. Hopefully, we can keep that work rate up and go hard at the Cats!

They lost at home last week and i'm hoping that will bring some doubt into their minds,.... & confidence to ours!!!!

Pies by 4 goals!!

Would be nice to be playing at the G though. I know they played in finals last year, so they are equpipped to deal with big crowds. But let's face it, Collingwood on a roll with their supporters in full voice at the G - is a huge bonus for us, I think we play well on the G anyway. Not getting carried away but I reckon a close one if we are totally committed for 4 quarters. Pies by 10 (points)

This will be a tough one we will have to cut out their running game. Chapman to be poleaxed in the first 5 minutes by Licca - Hopefully we will win by 10 points and taunt Mooney after the game.

Actually, a few years ago we had plenty of games at TD and won the majority of them - we were the kings of TD.

And as for the voice of the supporters, it appears the cheersquad is not being heard this year in the new stand at the G but at the Dome we can make heaps more noise. Love banging those flags on the floor there too.

It's at the dome dude!! Closed roof and all!

I have thought really hard about this game, match-ups, form, leg speed etc. and make an informed prediction!!

Geelong by 26.

Damn....it's at Telstra Dome!

Heard Schwarz on SEN this morning to discuss the Cats game and his comments - lots of problems at Collingwood Williams form, King knee and the form of C1. One mention we had won our last two ... hmmm then onto the Cats for the next 5 mins. David your bias is showing !! None of those players have been utilised to any great degree this year. We have possible ins in Leon, Yakka and Davies. All who have been playing for Willi and where you have seem to have done your research. We are looking really good for this one regardless of the Cats !! We match up very well and have shared the victories of recent times. Yes it is a tough one to pick as we are unpredictable at the moment but in reality barring the smashing by Freo we have been reasonably competitive this year.

We demand respect from our performances from the last two weeks and we will be very accountable on Friday night.

GO PIES !!

Schwarz ! what a poor excuse of a woman's blouse he is! the biggest try hard tough guy ever to wear knicker bockers! Who gives a rat's arse what he thinks, one of the most overrated forwards in the history of the game. The Ox with no bullocks!

Nice one Daks ... !! Cats will lift I'm sure but how we respond anyone's guess. We certainly have lifted our tackling efforts - which can lead to turnovers therefore possession. We are also getting more efficient to goal ...

look I still think we can win, but it seems a little unlikely..... from an unbiased perspective, I'd say we'll fall behind pretty early, catch up and be only two goals down at 3/4 time, then run out of legs in the last quarter and lose by about 36.
We can win this all the same, but everybody has to play well, Licuria and Burns will have to have a big influence and Taz needs to kick a few.
