Pre match: COLLINGWOOD v Saints - all comments here...

[LeonSkyDiamonds]

Burns,Buckley and Fraser tells me we are no chance.It's a shame,our season has been shot to pieces due to the fact that all our player losses have been quality (key players)There is only one team in the comp that could at least maintain an even win/loss record given such losses.And we all know who that team is.The AFL's All Stars.

We have beaten Brisbane and Port for periods this year through good, hard, solid footy. We just haven't been able to keep it up for any length of time.

We can beat St Kilda but only if we can play out 4 quarters of good footy. Anything less will result in a loss of anything up to 100 pts.

[Magpie Mustafa]

Can we win? Yes.

Will we win? No.

The Saints have had a special delivery of Vaseline and KY today.

They are simply going to bend us over for 120 minutes and give it to us.

We will be a truly well oiled unit when they are finished with us.

I hope we just put up a fight. Not lay down like Marshmallows like the last quarter on Saturday.

No Buckley, Burns, Fraser? and Presti. tarkin still not ready. means we will have to wait another week yet to get off the bottom.

All we can hope for is a good all-round team effort. I just want to see them play a game for 4 quarters not 1 or 2.

Agree Culpy. More backdoor action than a San Francisco nightclub.

They are simply going to bend us over for 120 minutes and give it to us.

Hopefully, Hawthorn will cop a thorough pumping as well!!

My earnest hope is that the 'pies will play with some pride in the jumper, man up, TACKLE hard and kick accurately, both at goals and to targets. In theory, we can win it but in stark reality, I think we will lose by 28 points.

Esto Collingwood perpetua!

Go Pies !!!!

Show them all disbelievers what *WE* are made of.

[PiesFan]

i hope it absolutely buckets down on saturday night

[raymond35]

hoping it damages the roof, eh?

[Ev5Magpies]

They should beat us by 15 goals, but they won't.

I wouldn't be suprised if we win on Saturday night.

[Shades]

I think we will put up a great fight, but without any class players in the midfield and the fact its at the Telstra dome it will be very hard to win.

If the Saints lose concentration and we hit them very hard, we can win. if we lose the slightest concentration, they will pump us. But remember they are a young team who have never strung this many wins together. They will definitely be under rating us, which lends itself to us getting under their guard.

Who tipped Richmond against the Swans on Sunday?

Who tipped the pies against port in the final in 2002? What chance did we give us back then? Backs to the wall is our speciality.

I don't think it's cut and dried....we have a bridge to gap but it's not impossible (close to it, but not impossible).

you would have thought we had our backs to the walls last week, they didn't seem to care then, whats going to change this week.

Saint to give us the mother of all thrashings. somewhere around 100 points. We have officially hit rock bottom and I can't see any way we can possibly beat the saints unless we have a total form reversal and actually get the ball out of the centre and at least get within a few metres of targets.
