Looking forward to it. A win's a win.

I wonder if Dids or Ego can match Daics' 13 goal effort at Carrara in 1991 on Johnny Gastev? Laughing

Yep can't wait the last time we beat Brisbane was in 2003 in the first week of the finals...so hopefully we can get a win.

Just as an interesting statistical side note, according to http://stats.rleague.com/afl/teams/collingwood/allgames_vn.html
The Mighty Magpies have never been defeated at Carrara.

Go Pies!

Cant wait baby!

You should have been there last week for Richmond-Swans. My body is still trying to purge the Cougar and Cola cans from my internal organs.

Lets go Pies! Also give Brisbane a taste of whats to come this year.

It's a practice match, if it's going to be very hot rest some of the older players. Play the young players and those who need match fitness. I am so not interested in winning these pretend games and more interested in having no more injuries. This is not a four point game and means nothing. Bring on the Round 1.

exactly culprit, the same rotation policy should apply. All our preseason games so far have been taxing and with another hot game forecast we should save our squad for when it matters. A win against Brisbane is only gonna matter to me if we get 4 points for it.

Brisbane aren't even that great any more lol. I wouldn't expect them to finish top 8 this year.... all the same it would be great to beat them Smile

If we can get up this week it is mentally really good, we know that we can beat some of the top teams, teams that have recently pushed us around and now its our turn to do the pushing,

I think the players and more importantly the club will grow in confidence leading into the first game v adelaide...

if we can get up there we will go off!
