GAME DAY Tiges v Pies

Got punched in the head by a *smile* Collingwood scab as he walked, then ran past me up and out the aisle at the G in '73 on preliminary final day.
I was 13... my sister said he looked about 25. Dog act!
All I was doing was singing our song!
I see a bit of that *smile* in every Collingwood supporter...... 50 years on.... nothing's changed!
Wow, we didn't get hit, but my wife and I sat in the Prelim 2018 near the Pies cheer squad - a huge error on the ticketing for that event. Even though in Australia we mix supporter seating, there are some occasions where I wished we were caged, all the Pies supporters around us were hurling abuse, and we felt unsafe - we couldn't even walk out as they blocked the aisles. There were children around, but that didn't stop them! And for those ferals, I hope they eat a big one tonight.

Phew. Big day of sports today. Toigs tonight, Opening Day in the MLB, Formula 1, last chance to get to Augusta on the PGA Tour, Bruins game, massive Celtics v Bucks game in the NBA. Season of Redford 2023 in full swing.

You forgot De Ronde on Sunday night.

I won't be there tonight, my original plan was to go in GA but no go, had a tooth out the other day so not really up to it anyway. Hoping for a nice win against the Pies, I still think Essendon should have been at least suspended from the VFL when they let Collingwood win a Grand Final in 1990, let's get 'em.

I thought Mihocek was injured? Desperation playing him?

If Moore is out, they will be missing Moore, Howe, Cox, Lipinski. 4 important players to how they play. I also don't think they have the depth we do. The fact that are such heavy favourites reeks. I'm actually pretty confident we can get it done and it won't even be close.

The tiger Instagram account has a great Jack Dyer comment on Collingwood. “ when we play Collingwood I get up 30 minutes earlier so I can hate Collingwood for longer” .
I hate them, even to the point of sometimes avoiding going to games when we play Collingwood because even if we win it is unpleasant being around their supporters.

Different flavours of hot.

I dont mind admitting i love watching daicos play.

Different hate.
Collingwood hate is baked into my DNA, reinforced by my family from birth.
Carlton hate has been earned during my lifetime by them just being entitled pricks
Mine's the opposite. "We barrack for Richmond, we hate Carlton" are some of the first words I remember.

Gonna take a huge effort from every player this evening, this mob is skyhigh in confidence and we are just the team to take that down a notch or two. NO PASSENGERS is what will get us a win tonight, do the 1%'s right from the start and apply the heat early and often. Forget flashy tonight Shai, just show them your class, Lynchpin, please kick straight and Meatball and Co in the guts, give our forwards the ball on a platter.

Won't be easy but it's doable for sure.

Eat 'em Alive Tiges !
