on topic, toss of the coin today, i feel the game could be won or lost in the first quater....if Melbourne are going to come out hot - it will be early.
'IF' this happens, and 'IF' we can stay in touch (remember the Dees have come back from the Alice last week)....we might be able to catch them late...
The number of outs we have reealy have seem to hurt us over the last few weeks....so i am not confident.
Heart says Pies can find a way....
Head says Dees run riot in the middle, who do we have to counter all of Petracca, Oliver and Gawn? _________________ "To know nothing of events before your birth, is to forever remain a child" - Cicero (Roman Lawyer/Senator) 46 BCE. |

Hope Kreuger goes well today. I must admit I've lost faith in him being a long-term prospect for us because of his extensive injury history, but today is a great day for him to step up and lead our depleted forward line.
Hard match to tip, so I don't know what to think. Win this and we're a big chance to be in the top 4 when the bye arrives. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

I have never lost faith in Krueger- the player. 'Krueger- the elite athlete' is the one who has troubled all Pies fans to date.
Anything greater than a goal and some very heavy physical contests from Krueger today is an absolute bonus. Whilst all wish him well, it has to be tempered by the fact he has missed a truckload of football.
He agreed to the trade to the 'Pies on the back of being assured that the Club would give him opportunities as a forward. He is such a hulking presence it could be a Godsend.
If he can hold the fort until after the bye and the return of: Mihocek, De Goey, Pendlebury, Cox, Richards and the like, he will have done his Club a huge service.
Good luck, Kruges _________________ Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away... |

Both Allen and Johnson played VFL at Casey yesterday and thanks for their efforts.
Jiath has to be the emergency and could be another debutant if Hill's ankle fails or some other surprise injury pops up before 2:20pm. _________________ Premiership Pies made it legendary in 2023, don’t let them forget it. #Go PIES 2024…. |

Contested footy for 4 qtrs. An ugly win is what we need. Freddy has to throw himself into everything. |

Freddie to smash Mr arrogant sore loser, Smokin May, with 3 goals, and I reckon Bobby Hill will have a day out, 4 goals. Going to be tough, with all our Outs, but reckon we will have a red hot go all match , team effort.
Woods to either lose, or win, by 9 points. Go Woods !! _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

I think the latter will happen Piesnchess. Freddie will be a nightmare experience that will scare him shitless. _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️ |

A season defining game if ever there was one. Funnily enough it’s still only worth 4pts….so technically no more important than last week, next week or the rest of the H&A season.
Other results this round thus far have been relatively favourable so a loss will not be as damaging to our finals aspirations as it could have been…and a win could well prove to be significant when the dust settles.
‘Will’ and ‘want’ will be critical today. Do we have the will to compete for every second of every quarter, every possession, every mark, to tackle incessantly, to run and support, to have a red hot go get knocked down and then get back up and try again? The want to do the hard things, to want to put your body on the line over and over, to block and shepherd, beat your man, to be resilient, to beat the odds and face adversity head on and overcome? I feel this team thrives on the challenge…they thrive on pressure…they sprinkle it on their corn flakes every morning. For that reason I believe the Mighty Pies will come away with a win in a hard fought see-sawing type game where management of momentum both for and against will be critical.
Happy to see Kroooogs in…although my expectations are relatively low I hope he can contribute by competing hard, keeping May occupied, giving a chop out for Cameron in the ruck, and maybe slotting a couple. For what it’s worth I still feel he has more chance of a successful career in the back line than as a forward…he has all the attributes required to be an AA CHB/FB and maybe his body might hold up better.
