Pre-match: Pies vs Wannabee Pies - all comments here please.

Post by bwphantom »

Ok guys time to forget last weeks debacle and look ahead. Remember we are only as good as our next game.

Snort played a hard fought match against the Doggies and a road trip to Darwin to boot. As for us we were dead flat, so we should have plenty in the tank. We have heard that Tarrant will be rested (Should be disciplined) and maybe even Cappy (Bux).

So how are we gonna win this one? And who is coming in to put these wannabees away and cement our top 8 spot???

Go Pies!!!
All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

'Tis indeed another week BW!
To be honest, I havent even seen the Bummers game last week. A combination of working too hard and disillusionment with the team (at present). However all faith will be restored with a 100% commitment. Dont care now who's in or out. The lads that play against the Flower, will want to come off the ground "spent"! Rusling in for Taz??..dunno, hows he been going at Willi? Rowe has been playing well at Willi by all accounts, how bout resting Bux and giving him due reward. Could be his last chance, before an end of the season clean out.
All I want to see is 100% desire at the ball, direct kicking, backing up, backslapping and running in numbers. No fringe dwellers or soft cocks. Let Daisy Thomas give them a pre match address! Yes Daisy! He shows true grit and commitment. Has relished his chance to play and now wont be part of any finals action, bet he is bleeding! If half of our side showed the desire of this young kid, we'd be in much better shape.
Anyhoo go out and rip into them Pies. Pride and tradition is on the line. Reputations mean nothing to me. Bleed for us and I will bleed for you.
Now go out and get my respect back please.
Enjoy yourself. Its later than you think!

Or our last...:P

But in all seriousness, if we are finals bound and set to make an impact, we must win. No buts about it. Go hard or go home, it'll really set apart who wants to have a say this September.

Only thing in our favour this week is that the Power played in Darwin last Saturday night and they will run out of legs early in the second half.

And that by "resting" Taz and Bucks, we can play non-injured fully fit players who can put in all game. Play Rustling, Rheece Shaw and Anthony. I have a pretty good feeling about this, 'pies by 24.

Big first half, Port comeback and a big scare around about 3/4 time.

Pies by 16.

I think the real Pies will come to play and we'll smash them by 70 points.
Get back on top.

CMON PIES!!!

Rusling in for Taz, Rocca out, rest Bucks...

Rhyce in, dunno who else, haven't seen any Willi action. We've gotta go out there and just play our bloody game, enough of this 2005 weak, chipping shit! Get out there and play the fast, fluent, tough, direct footy that got us the title of being Victoria's best hope earlier this year. Get your heads over the ball, crash the packs, work and run them out of the match. They are nothing, and we are 10 times the side they are. We've gotta suck it up, and play like its for the damn premiership, because it is! Where has the desire gone? I wanna see it, and everything our beloved Collingwood Football Club stands for in all its glory this Friday, f**king smash EM PIES!!!

Hope UR right, Cam.

We could have used the "real" Pies a few times this year.

The Richmond game. (vomit)

And last week. (bleed profusely on keyboard)

Ooooooooh.

Someone tell me we aren't tanking for a draft pick!

Cheers Cam, you know now I only can relax after you have made your tip. I think once again you are on the money, but the margin probably 5 goals.

Are you related to Scotty Palmer? I think Nicks should have Cams "keep punching" weekly segment of tips!
Buon Giorno
