If I were a Geelong supporter I would expect to play it at my home ground regardless of capacity rather than at the home ground of my opposition.

Interesting analogy, but yeah, he's been used very sparingly and has had minimal impact.

If you played a smaller club then yes, but on normal seasons Collingwood does not travel to Geelong.

The cats record at the MCG is pretty good.
90000 v 20000.
From a club/business perspective I know which venue I'd take.

Agreed. He is their number one inside mid. Dunkley probably the candidate who needs to step up now. They might need to put Bont on the ball a bit more now as well. Big reshuffle needed now.

If it makes you feel any better so am I.
You could smash us, and maybe we go out in straight sets?
Or the better alternative, we win and get to host a prelim.

Found out? Lost by 27 points after DeGoey was a late withdrawal and Ginnavin injured before half time, Elliott had a rare quiet day too.

Collingwood's ability to win the close encounter is a massive weapon come finals time, I will be selecting Geelong though.

Found a thing on Sportsbet, Pick 9 Finals, good value.

I went:

R/M/G/WB

Correct, Sydney denied them the ball and didn't allow Collingwood to play the corridor. Sydney upped their uncontested possessions by way of more kicks to mark situations denying Collingwood the ball and Sydney's pressure didn't allow Collingwood their plan to do the same, kick to uncontested mark. Collingwood some 20 odd marks under their average, they didn't get it and when they did they were under the pump.

If it's Collingwoods system that is the reason they hold in in tight games it can't be personnel when they lose. Can't have it both ways.
