Matchday Thread ANZAC Day 2025

Oh it is, he is even better than last year!

Their blue collar work ethic is something we can only strive for. When they are down they get back up and have that willingness to win.

We don"t and I’m hoping our kids enjoy this game today and reveal in it. All we can ask.

Will miss Jake Stringer today, his work in the middle is what we will lack plus his goal kicking up forward. Happy Birthday Jake!

Martin must play forward of centre he sets up goals.

Jones plays on a wing, I’m not a fan of his at all but he can run and tackle

We will miss Caldwell and Draper today, also Parish who plays good wet footy.

Calling it now. Blitz to melt when Hobbs is named sub

Get ready to hear coooooolllllllliiiinnnnnngggggwooooooooooooooood all day

I’m not going to watch the game, I’m just going to give Bronx cheers to McKay

Out and about this morning, the amount of people I spotted wearing a Collingwood cap, scarf and/or jumper was astonishing. They’re up and about, that’s for sure. Why wouldn’t they be I guess.

Unload the account on a Bombers win ya reckon?!

New neighbour moved in across the road a few months back…we’ve had a few chats along the way and he seems like a nice bloke.

He got home yesterday just as I was getting back from the shops so we ended up having a good talk.

He’s originally from Victoria and so we were talking about footy when he asked if I was watching the game tomorrow(now today)…I said I would be and so he invited me over to his place to watch it with him and his partner…lunch, beers, football…sounds good eh?

Just one minor detail…he’s a Collingwood supporter…could be an interesting afternoon :wink:

Its weird. If that named Colingwood side was us. We’d say its crap. Frampton, Membrey, McStay, Lipinsky and multiple aged players approaching their mid thirties. Yet they are on top.

I cant believe how weak the comp is right now.

80% of our output is driven by 20% of your players. Collingwood still have an amazing top end. Something we don’t have. Every team’s bottom 5 players are crap

Send in JAMAR

Trust we don’t have too many Welcome to Country’s today. 5 or 6 is my personal limit.

Could’ve been special. Now token.

Still not over the robbery that was 2019.
Couldn’t get a ticket so if the umpiring is the same trash it will be off to the good guys for a new TV tomoz

I reckon the rain helps the bad team is a myth

Rain brings out footy IQ (we have none) and the really skillful players can still execute in the wet. Don’t think it would help us at all

With the volume of kids playing Basketball, soccer, tennis, little aths to name a few it’s only going to get worse. For the past 20 years they’ve drafted more athletes than natural footballers. Many of tne elite are father son talent as they have grown up with a footy in their hand and been gifted high performance development ops.

I liked hearing Chris Scott say last week he doesn’t respect players that need marquee or big games to be motivated. We recruit players for Anzac Day and still can’t even win it more than 25% of the time

And that mindset is the difference between the two clubs, Geelong play in big games because they are always a top 4 team while we have them gifted to us and we don’t deserve it

If we can deal with both daicos boys(particular N. Daicos) and maybe DeGoey, we will win, if not, and said Daicos runs riot, then we are Farked.

Speaking of iconic moments
