Swans broke the Pies hodo in last year's Prelim (and boo'd me out of the stadium :( )
But the Pies at the MCG is a different story. Swans need this victory after a loss to Hawthorn and a poor draw against Freo, while the Pies will be looking to win 2 in a row and stay in the 8.
Massive game! Swans by 9
Just heard that the Swans team bus broke down. So they have to get a tram to the ground. Bad omen?

Not a great start to the evening for the @sydneyswans with the team bus having trouble getting to the @MCG
It took buses, cabs and trams but all the @sydneyswans boys have arrived safely at the G and are ready for Friday night footy.

News that JPK has been injured and pre warm up. Fox Footy just said.
Tipped Collingwood by 20. Need a big week of tips so I can push into the top 1000 for supertipping!
Can't believe I had a week where I got 9 tips, and the exact margin and still came 400th!

I hope you're joking! I just traded him in this week. I'll need to find out very soon so I can reverse the changes.
They said just before the ad break that they are yet to confirm.
Swanny, Pendles & Caff for me. 8)
Just Swan and Pendles for me with Dwyer as emergency. Don't actually have any Swans players at all.
Geezus that had me worried. C'mon JPK!
And Swanny, Pendles and Dwyer!
Pendles and JPK for me with Caff emergency
Swan, Pendles and Dwyer my emergency for this game
Who do you guys think will cop the Caff tag?
Swan staying down in the forward line
Not liking the way this is playing out at the minute.
sydney way harder at the ball, pies look scared to tackle them.....
i suppose you would be the way free kicks are awarded but still can't just keep letting them run at will out of the middle.
embarrassing.
Hey Bucks, what's the story with keeping Swannie in the forward line???
Don't you know that kind of tactic is ruining plenty of DT teams!!!
Sydney is playing much better to be honest....
ummmmmm Swans on fiya!!
Read this (As I have said before): Cats v Swans Granny!
Gee Pies are struggling here! Or are Swans really, really good?

sydney so much better it is not even a contest.
buckley is a clown but we all know that - playing swan fwd has failed every other time so hey lets do it again vs the swans.....
worst thing, i put a bet on melbourne to score the lowest for the round, collingwood are worse i am going to lose that bet....
@ tbag - both swans are great - pies are shower = a flogging is on the way
Anyone else hating watching this game? Not just coz pies getting smashed but JPK tagged and not many pos, swan playing forward & Dwyer well down.
My eliminator opponent doesn't have Swan... masterstroke!
Nice score by Swanny.
It's quarter time right? :P
The night would only get better if pendlebury is subbed out at HT!
Collingwood being outplayed at almost every contest. Swans look pretty slick, can't say the same about my opponents captain this week though (Swan) :P
Sydney could run away with this if collingwood keeps letting them win the ball. (At the moment I aint regretting the Jack introduction this week!)
Pendles,Swan and new recruit Jack plus MacCaffer doing nicely as my emergency in case Cox is out.
WTF is that idiot Bucks doing wasting Swan in the forward line ::)
good for you buddy. Well pendles on 56 is looking good. Surely bucks puts swan on the ball now.
The sydney effect is back. >:(
Went JPK over Pendles for VC ::)
swan fwd 1st quarter and half back second quarter. i captained ablett because i had a feeling the swans would be tough, but i did not expect it to be this bad.....
apart from the pies being pathetic, the coach has been totally out coached, which is completely normal and to be expected.
when your ruckman leads your tackle count that says enough about the effort of the rest of the team.
pathetic, and hence the username....
full credit to sydney, mainly the coach, totally exploited every weakness the pies have and dominated every area of the game.
Dunno about that Chelsea, looked out on the full.

Side by side, stick by your team through thick and thin. We have a bad game and you've posted 3 times shower canning everyone in the organization.
Sydney are playing very bloody well but I think the Pies are making them look twice as good as they probably are.

I do think Colli is fair dinkum and has some genuine concerns on how Bucks is coaching this side which really should be good enough to challenge for the flag but are looking fairly average since he has been in charge.
Sticking by your team is a given but that doesn't mean you cannot critize them....I critize my own footy team back in Holland most week-ends and feel I have a right to do so as I have supported them all my life (and still pay my membership fees to this day eventhough I've lived in Oz for 23 years!!!)
Collingwoods lowest 3rd quarter tiime score against sydney since 1918!!!!!!
Anybody know Ball's SC score? on 99 DT I brought him in for SC last week for Wines
Wtf is jpk doing? I can accept an off game but u have to question effort when He hasn't layed 1 tackle

and you sitting there chanting side by side telling everyone how wonderful we are playing ?
or are you just not prepared to be honest about how the team is performing ?
Sure Sydney is playing well, but NO team finds so much space without the opposition team allowing it.
the effort is bad, the coaching is worse, if this is not true explain to me how it is?
I have only bagged the effort and the coaching for this game..... and it seems to be a pattern does it not...
tell me is it ok to bag melbourne and other teams when they put in pathetic efforts, but not ok to be up front and honest and say so when our team puts in a pathetic effort ?
maybe your attitude is why so many people hate collingwood, because people like you cannot be genuine and honest enough to say - yeah we sucked your team was much better - WELL DONE.
Collingwood for the record has a LOT of our best 22 out and the back 6 is in big trouble everyone knows that. but you don't come on a forum and make excuses when you are getting thrashed, not when the effort is down and you have been out coached and out played.
so SORRY for being an HONEST Collingwood supporter.

Lol yeah I have Pendles and Jack
Btw got money on Goodes for most goals get around him @15.00 ill take a draw with Cloke
From Stats alone, it looks like Ball was the only Pie that came to play. 9 tackles and 28 disposals so far for only his second game in over a year.
Was anyone else impressed by Dwyers goal in the third? Lovely poise
Lovely racist Collingwood supporters.

wasn't the guy right next to him krakuer ?
maybe it was racist?, but that just means the chic is an idiot because the nearest collingwood player was also aboriginal.
disappointing if it was, but eddie will give her a ban, collingwood supporters who are racist and express it get banned from being members or attending games - at least that's what happened to the last one.

"Lovely racist supporters" is not stereotyping any/all supporters of collingwood as racist, but instead expressing dislike to racist supporters.
On that topic, I'm fairly certain Goodes wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't something significantly offensive to him.

Agree mate. And from the commentary after the game it seems he was very upset.
Good to hear Eddie is in the rooms talking to Goodes as this sort of thing has no place in society
True that, I guess the next 12 hours will reveal what happens
I was at the game, and 90% of the Collingwood supporters around me were giving Goodsey shower. It was disgusting. It's to his credit that he was BOG anyway <3

well said mate!
Well said Colli and who could doubt your support of Pies. Giving honest appraisals as a supporter should be no means categorize as a non supporter. Heavens above I would have been run out of town if not allowed to be honest in my appraisal of Lions at times.
Thanks guys - and sorry for snapping back BGK - but if pendles can be honest about the pies as vice captain a few weeks ago
surely i can as a fan?
and yeah i am enough of a supporter to get fired up when someone suggests i am not.
something is not right with the team, we will fix it, but 11th at the end of the round and effort is down and the game plan is a shambles, we have work to do, fortunately the next 3 weeks should see us get away with the lack of form and steel 3 more wins.
that said, i am genuinely WORRIED about Brisbane next week. then the dees and doggies should be wins.... but even the doggies could challenge if we play like that again.
i won't be so negative as to suggest the dees could get us .... no offence dees people :)
Collingwood doesn't seem to be trying this year.
Pies looked slow as all night.

impressed with eddie
and given hope by the fact the little girl or her parents DO know well enough to make the call to appologize.
out of all of this MUCH GOOD will come, as much as it offends, much support and awareness is created for the purpose of the round.
The big thing in all this that stands out to me is the focus on the young girl and the intention of educating "her", but no mention of her family. The fact that she was led away "alone" was an indictment on her mother/nan/carer or whoever was with her and indicative of the type of people she must be guided and influenced by in life.
What she did was an abhorrant thing in this day and age, but it's a learned behaviour and would have been modelled to her in day to day life.

The mum/grandma/carer just looked absolutely stunned to me just like the girl. I like how the whole thing was handled though. If that doesn't discourage racism, getting pointed out on national television, being put on YouTube and banned for however many years, I don't know what will
Would Goodes come back on field if they were down by 3 points? Or if the incident was in the first quarter?
Wow Eddie. >:(
