Lest We Forget.

Pies, should get up in the Anzac Day clash.

[GoLions]

Either the Bombers will bounce back after "hitting the wall" last week, or the Pies will absolutely smoke 'em

[Jukes]

We'll get up.

[AaronKirk]

I think we are entitled to lose to the best side in the comp at their home ground.

All this BS that we were terrible and have hit the wall is just rubbish. They were really good early and the game was over after 10 minutes. From then on we actually played alright.

Go Bombers.

Yeah you lost to the best in the game, then you got smashed by Adelaide the week after :o ;)

I'll be picking the Pies with 0% confidence

[The_Captain]

Gee wizz, 2 sides that both think they are miles ahead of what they actually are.

Sadly only one side can get the reality check needed here.

Collingwood by a few points... But wow, its going to be ugly to watch.

You do realise it was your own coach who said this? :P

Says the Eagles supporter?  :P

I'm struggling to see us win this week, although we do tend to lift for Anzac Day games.

I think he is talking shower TBH. We were terrible v Carlton from poor coaching/gamestyle which didn't suit the conditions and then got blown away by Adelaide in the first term.

From 1/4 time onwards we didn't play too badly. We lost the rest of the game by 5 goals after being 6 down at 1/4 time. GWS lost by 56 points against Adelaide. Have they hit the wall? No they are going alright. I think there are 17 teams in the comp who would all lose to Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on current form.

I always expected us to be slow starting last week after the game on the Heavy 10 surface against Carlton.

We freshen up with a decent break and hopefully are ready to play well this week. There are no excuses for not running the game out on Anzac Day.

I don't have confidence we will win but the "hitting the wall" crap is just excuses. They should be fresh after 12 months out.

I don't disagree with you, I thought the Bombers fought the game out well last week considering their opponent. I also think they are a very good chance this week.

[Bill Manspeaker]

need at least 184 between Grundy and McGrath for the win. not confident

[Toga]

Yeah no idea who to pick in this game. Probably Collingwood for me.

[Money Shot]

Collingwood to win by 26
Brodie Grundy to win the Anzac Medal

[fanTCfool]

We'll get up.

Quoting this for an Essendon loss.
