Surely we can win this one..........can't we????????

Pies by 9 points.

[Jace]

A win would be great, but I will be happy with a bit of heart & pride in wearing the black & white. Lets end their season like they basically ended ours earlier in the year!!!

Since I was told recently that REALITY is only an illusion that occurs due to a lack of alcohol first thing in the morning, I will pick the 'pies by 18.

Also, one good thing about Alzheimer's is that you get to meet new people every day and follow Collingwood without remembering their form or recent results......

[Proud Pies]

i have a feeling, that they might fight back from embarrassment and win this one, although i don't know who we have to put out there.

I was expecting them to come out swinging against Essendon - i was let down.....

I was expecting them to come out swinging against the saints - i was let down......

This week, im not expecting anything - I wont be let down.

The ladder says Fremantle will win, form says Fremantle will win, this punter's head says Fremantle will win and the bookies will have us at long odds once again. On this season's earlier game in Perth, there's every reason to say you can't go past Fremantle.

And that's why Cannibal sticks his neck out once more and says his Celtic gut feel is telling him loud and clear that Collingwood will win. This season, three out of five of our wins have come where the odds were stacked heavily against us. Perfect.

This week will see the 'Pies claim revenge for the round seven pathetic, gutless capitulation, and we'll end Fremantle's finals chances in the process.

Look on this as just a warm-up for the game in a fortnight's time in which we'll seal Carlton's second wooden spoon!

'Pies by 13 points.

If we win, goodbye to the priority picks and a great early draft pick up............................

[Northern Pie]

Pies to Win....we need to so something to prove that the thrashing they gave us earlier in the season was just an abberation!

Cheers

It will be a tough to win but if we have any heart and go in us. We can beat these jester hatted pretenders.

I really hope we can win so it gives us 6 wins and every reason to beat carlton round 20. Otherwise we will play carlton and a loss will be good because we can get a priority pick. This way, if we win, theres incentive to beat carlton.

Anyway i really think we will win because everytime freo have won a few straight, they lose. Now that they are fighting for the finals, they will especially choke. With a better midfield than we had last time we met and hopefully we regain travis cloke in the spot of rusling we should do alright

Players to watch out for are Longmuir as he is a good ruckman/forward, Pavlich and Hazleby

Bluddy hope so!

[prowdy12]

i hope we win but dont think we will, and wont be that disappointed if we lose. We should be looking to next year. I think o,brien will play so i cant wait to watch the young guys have a crack. i will be pissed if we end up on 6 wins ( no extra pick) but i dont belive in tanking games. ps How depleated is our tall brigade hard to win games without a spine

I hope the Pies can win, I cant see them doing it though. Freo by 60

[magpie meg]

priority pick wont happen as much as we want it to, as being collingwood we will beat carlton. There for beating freo is a must. Plus it is the great mans 250th there for pies by 23.
