Apparently SportsBet have had a couple of $200,000 bets for Collingwood today.

Could see some tasty odds for St Kilda if any of you ****s are interested.

You think that's bad? I put up my Collingwood flag yesterday, and this morning I came out and found the pasty kid from next door, who's some kind of marketing nerd, standing on my lawn in his Craig Bradley pyjamas, clutching his Brycey Gibbs soft toy, pointing at it and making the bushman click/grunt noises he uses. That wasn't great, but what was really heartbreaking was that the poor kid had wet himself.

You think you know your neighbours.

Pissed on your lawn

Leon Davis so lucky

 

[Matt79]

Agree with Presti coming in. Facepalm re Davis - hoping it's ducks and drakes and Goldy stays in as a late change.

 

[Matt79]

Baker's inclusion a clear concession that the Saints don't think they're good enough to beat us, so are just planning to try to scrag us and drag the game down to their level. Didak will be black and blue at the end of the game no doubt - but victorious.

So long as someone runs through Milne, preferably someone Travis Cloke size, I'm happy.

I thought the native species of Leon Davis went into hibernation in September?

****ing global warming.

Strange decision, part of Collingwood's success this year has come from being able to make the hard calls. Then again, people do strange things under pressure.

Good to see Collingwood have already lost their first grand final of the week:

Clarke's title dream foiled

Long may it continue.

The Baker/McEvoy thing - It's a brave call.

I thought the Saints could really get an advantage in the guts when it was Brown vs McEvoy, but I guess Lyon has opted to break even when Brown goes in there against the Saints second string, and try and negate a Collingwood play maker.

Gotta feel for Benny Mac though. He's a good Murray Bushranger boy, so that always hurts.

Believe their first loss came on Monday with Swanny.

Baker decision is ballsy. Absolutely rolling the dice.

Hope Baker does well.

Still so surreal as a Pies fan going into a big match with the expectation of ruck superiority, or at worst parity.

Whereas the cricketing equivalents of Carlton's salary cap arrangements also had a hard week...

Going to make your life in this thread a living hell if we win on Saturday...
