All form, logic and reason points to a heavy defeat for the Bummers.

However........... (isnt there always one)

Notice quite a few posters have mentioned loading up $ on a 40+ points win
or over 10 goal win....which in most people's eyes on here sounds reasonable.
Personally i have had a decent nibble at the under 39 point margin @ $2.55.

My reasoning for this is (apart from the obvious value) ......since 1993 when
we have played them twice every year, in the first encounter for the year, the
highest winning margin in all that time has been 37 points.
Ten of those instances the margin has been 20 points or less.

In the second meeting in all those years their have been 8 instances where the margin
has blown out to over 40 points.

Even to look at the last 5 years bears the above out also.......
2007 1st round won by 3 ....... 2nd round lost by 10
2008 1st round lost by 16 ....... 2nd round lost by 35
2009 1st round lost by 4 ....... 2nd round lost by 69
2010 1st round lost by 20 ........ 2nd round won by 76
2011 1st round draw ........ 2nd round won by 74

Having said all that i still would not mind a 100 point thrashing handed out !!

The problem with the above logic is that we've barely ever been favourites, let alone better than 10-1 on..

I'd be disappointed if we don't put them to the sword

A lot of positive press this week and of course all the talk of ess injuries and issues etc.

Big test of our maturity today going in as heavy favourites.

Go blues!

Let this quote taken from BomberBlitz, remind you as to why we hate this smug bunch of SCUM!!!!



He says we show no humility, and then in the next sentence wishes physical harm on our players... How sad that they re actually stooping to that level.
They re a class act these Bummers fans....

I don't care if they win by 1 point or by 100 points, just bloody well win Carlton !!

Just remember all the only difference between Collingwood and Essendon* supporters is that usuallysome Essendon* supporters have basic reading skills and Collingwood supporters don't.

Absolutely mate...

They want Judd & Kruezer injured to match their Winderdick & Courtnay Love?

Such a deluded group of scum ferals...

If we are ahead at half time by say 10 goals , the scum will put the cue in the rack for ANZAC Day and Brock coming on won't be such a big deal.

Need to break them and get a huge lead early so they start planning for Wednesday at 3.15pm.

awful lot of press about Essendon*'s 4 day turnaround. I don't think I have heard once about the pies having a 4 day turnaround. Isn't it the same issue for both clubs?

If you missed it earlier, heres most of the ratten interview on triple m

If anyone knows of how I can go about watching the game through a live internet stream (or otherwise), please send me a PM!

The game isnt on here in rAdelaide and unfortunately I doubt many pubs will have it on the big screen since there is a Port match on.
