Does anyone think we can beat Collingwood?

North nearly did as did the GC. 6 and 4pts. GC couldn't beat time with a stick right now.

We should have beat them last time. We play with essentially 17 on the ground given Elijah Hollands issues, lead all game, usual last qtr crash back then, then found a bit only to lose with a kick after the siren. Don't overrate Collingwood.

IF we display the form prior to the Richmond game, we win.

we can but we won't.

Re Kemp, he plays like a bloke back from having a season ending injury and probably will be better next season.

Agreed...we can but we won't. Other than the Sun's I see this as our last chance to win for a while.

Collingwood would be deservedly starting as favorites, but not by much IMO. I think some in the AFL world would be spooked by the Hawthorn game, which is not unreasonable. I give us a slight chance, but we need 4 quarters of good footy and 18/23 contributors. And if it comes down to "taking our moments" hopefully we're good enough - the Pies have a few players who are good in that space.

They’ve taken their moments against us when it counts, same story for the last 5 games or so. We definitely owe them a 4 quarter performance, for our own sanity if nothing else.

I'm more confident about a win this week than last but our form has tapered off. Sides are smashing both Rich & Ess and we just barely got across the line against both. How we knocked off GWS during that period defies logic.
Anyway, Cool are not in the same league as the Dorks and hopefully with a little luck and application our boys can get across the line.
Keys to winning
1. Stop N Daicos (was hoping B Wilson would get a run here)
2. Reduce the impact around centre and stoppage of De Goey
3. Tackle, tackle, tackle. Intensity
Acres needs to come back in. Flynn Young, Zac Williams, maybe Fogarty all potantial in's
George will be out. Hollands hasn't worked. Ison needs a break and Kemp I would drop

4. Close off their space and put pressure on the man with the ball.
