What's with all of the innuendo about Elliott being a party boy ?
Is there any evidence for it ? |
It was in reference to a game in Perth last year. Fasolo apparently told team mates he was the Prince of Perth and knew every bouncer outside every nightclub in Perth. After the game Fasolo tried to get in to a nightclub but was told to join the line. Elliot however was welcomed in as royalty and walked straight in, and asked the bouncers to let Fasolo in.
The episode was mentioned in jest on one of those clubroom videos on the Collingwood website last year, and Dave Hughes used it on the Footy Show to ridicule Fasolo the Prince of Perth. All meant in good fun. |

Interesting comment.
WC aren't much of a team at the moment.
Hope we jump them.

One team is coming off an unexpected heavy win, the other is coming off a loss that has sown the seeds of doubt in the Eagles (publically expressed by the coach who said their season it shot unless they can win their away games).
So the Eagles playing at home in front of their rabid fan base must no only win but win well. A simple win by a goal or two (or three) will not be enough. They need the reassurance of a big win. So if there are stages in the game where this looks doubtful those crazy Eagles fans won't be hurling abuse at Collingwood, but their own players. This can be a pretty demoralising experience for the Eagles and Collingwood, if it can bring some early pressure and force errors, can exploit their identity crisis.
In short, this is a game that can be determined by the relative psychologies currently influencing the performance of the competing teams at this uncertain early stage of the season. Collingwood wants to continue the thrust of Monday's convincing win (and God help it if it reverts to the garbage of rounds 1 to 4), while the Eagles need to remove the nagging doubt that they are 'not good enough' and reassure themselves and their vocal supporters that they are still a contender for finals.
Which is the stronger willed team? In this topsy-turvey season of 2016, I think this Sunday it will be Collingwood. |
Well said Woods - it is/was possible.
But losing Adams and no Cloke we lose a lot of potential muscle to support Grundy.
Can't see our leaders getting it done now.
Will be a monumental achievement.
Eagles by 111pts and Bombers to beat Carlton setting up another coach defining clash next week |
Muscle is always good, but this game can be won by moving the ball quickly with elite skill - particularly by foot - like they did in first half on Anzac day. Plenty of room at Subi to execute. But they'll need to be switched on from the first bounce or they'll be over-run early. |

Doubt we have the cattle to beat them with our outs, I'd be happy if we got within 3 or 4 goals, never say never though.

Ah, got it, cheers. Funny story. Someone else was muttering yesterday about Elliott's hair tests... I thought it was connected.

No chance in hell. The line is -50 points for a reason. It's paying $1.92. That's right, you can nearly double your money if you think Coll will get within 50 points of WC.

how bad is Adams? any word from the club? he played out ANZAC day so surely it can't be that bad.

He probably tripped on a pebble knowing our luck

| Loss of Adams is really unfortunate. This game will be decided in the midfield, and we have just suffered a massive blow. Our only chance of winning depends on our midfield holding its own against theirs. With Adams gone now, we have lost our major grunt in and under. If we don't compete adequately for the central clearances, we will be smashed. Who will step to fill the void that Tay's absence has now created? I would throw Blair into the centre, in and under. Broomhead to take on the small forward role. Sinclair to drive us forward from half back and run to link up, a la Travis Varcoe. Only chance is to play fast, move the ball fast at all costs. If our midfield configuration hold up, and we can get the ball forward at speed, Broomhead and Fasolo maybe can contest the ball on the ground. Can Cox and Moore bring it to ground, and contest it there as well? I can visualize a very small window of opportunity. But it requires a massive lift from our midfielders, Greenwood, De Goey and Crisp. |
