Was not confident last week, but very confident this week for some reason. Maybe cos Taz is back.

In Taz, O'Brien (or JClo), R.Shaw (or Thomas or Davies)
Out Swan, Cara, Maxwell.

What I don't like is two runners (Swan & Cara) out for two Talls. Although Taz Does a lot work up the ground to account for this somewhat.

Weather forcast is: "becoming Fine" So it should suit the Talls ok.

White on Richards (when that match up occurs) is a worry. White can run forward and expose Richards there. So Richards needs to be on his game when on White.

Our Backline is better than theirs. Our Forwardline is better than theirs. We just have to break even or better in the middle and we should win.

Hope we put the score on the board early unlike last week. Get good reward for the dominance.

We beat the Dogs by 6 goals, and I rate the Dees a few goals better so we'll win by 3 goals.

Don't think they have a match up for Taz and has a good record against them. So expect a big one from him. 4 goals and 13 marks. They dont' have good match up for Rocca either. Holland to slow, Carrol not strong enough. Expect him to dominate too. Both dominating assuming the midfield plays OK and breaks the lines.

So the 3 goal margin could blow out easy.

Miller is a big loss for them too. Nearly as important as Rocca is to us IMO.

Yeh, Miller and Nicholson are probably thier best matchups for Rocca and Taz, and would free Holland to go forward, where he could cause us trouble, which he won't be able to do now.

The Pies have been relatively flat for the last 2 games but have still done enough to win comfortably.

This week as when the reported asked Clubber Lang in Rocky II what was his prediction - PAIN.

Pies by 30+ points.

Every team should expect to peek when they are on a run.......

The Eagles have scrapped out of a couple with two wins...and the Pies have done the same. We are now primed to win this one by 10 goals..

Gotta feel sorry for N. Daniher after we flog his team...he's such a nice bloke. haha

Magpiefan3 · Post by **Magpiefan3** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 9:55 pm

He is a funny character Daniher.

Seriously though if we put enough pressure on them they'll crack. And it'll be beautiful to watch. Pies by plenty.

My prediction for this upcoming game is Pies by 6 goals kicked by Taz and Didak to have a sensational day. Total winning score will be Pies 36 point win or a thrashing of 60 points. This is to match the dates of this week, 6/6/06. Demons on 6 wins and 6th on ladder and us winning by 6 goals or 60 points.
GO PIES!

Can't wait for this one..... I feel we will need to play alot better than last week. Even though last weeks win was outstanding, and showed we can fight back, Melbourne are a way better team than the thugs from up north. However, our forward line will be the key, all we need is one of the boys up there to fire and we should win. I think Tarrants due for one of his Queens B'day blinders!?

Bring it on, Pies by 25 pts.

Totally pumped for this game, probably the biggest game we will play for the year dispite Anzac day.

There will be atleast 80,000 there, no doubt about that, and Chrisy Tarrant is back against the team he usually plays very very well against.

However..... im not writing the dees off, they have had the wood over the pies over the last couple of years. They arent crap like previous teams, we will have to be on our best game.

Pies by 22.

MmMmMmMmMmMmM... Should be a very evenly matched game... Looking forward to watching it. Probably not as physical (as in tackels etc) as brissy... but still a tough one... after last week i think the boys will definently come out grinners! With taz back in the side, and the oppourtunity for any of the clokes, shawry, daisy back after a break... maybe even rus? Should be good.... i say pies by 15 points...
