Neither team has really shown a whole lot of consistency this season but the real story this week seems to be Collingwood's injuries. Port were comfortable against Melbourne last week while Collingwood hobbled toward the finish line and collapsed in front of the Bulldogs.

We need this win desperately, and looks like we're bringing in a first-gamer to boot.  ::)  Always been a bit iffy against the Pies but I hope we can get the job done.

[GoLions]

I reckon this will be a really close game. The injuries the Pies copped last week could be the difference though...

[GoLions]

No late changes for either side

[Torpedo10]

So I traded in Jasper Pittard.

FA and Clanger to start.

Sounds right.  :-[

[Torpedo10]

Pittard, 21 DT for 11 SC.

ANDDDDD I started Smithy over Dunks, Hopper and Davis.

Great start.  ::)

Hahahahahaha Jesse White

The best thing about this comment is that it works all the time regardless of what he is doing  :P

I am amazed they haven't made our loose man accountable yet. Cox, Cloke, White and Grundy should be destroying Logan, O!Shea, Stewart 1v1 every single time. We keep floating back either Hoff, Polec, Hartlett, Broadbent (anyone really) and get that spoil in. They make the loose man accountable the goals will flow for them.

What is going wrong with Pittard?

I hate how commentators don't say first names when there are 2 players with same surname in a game

Too many options out of defence. Pittard, Broadbent, Impey, Krakouer, Hartlett, Westhoff. We're playing as a team so it's unpredictable which power to go through. Been a trend I've noticed of late that we haven't had many huge SC scores, it's been spread evenly through the team.

Yep that's a fair call. Was astounded to see he hasn't had a Contested Possession though. Obviously the big ground is to his detriment!
