Can the Pies do it in 08?

Question

Can the Pies do it in 08?

Answer 1

yeah, maybe

Answer 2

i think they will be top 4 for sure

Answer 3

yeah of course. At this stage anyone can do it.

[Assuming "it" is winning th GF of course]

Answer 4

Nah, Port Adelaide Magpies aren't good enough, will be Centrals, Eagles or The Roosters.

Answer 5

o h**l no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go the tigers!!!

Answer 6

No.

If you are referring to the GF then I would say no.

They always crack in the big games.

Answer 7

No. I don't believe they can.

My personal view is that Collingwood do well during the season due to the unbalanced AFL fixtures. Collingwood have nearly all their matches at home & most teams do better if they do not have to travel.

They have a cushy run to the finals & then it is crunch time. Regardless of where these final matches are played, they are played with a greater intensity. That is where they fall down & the famous 'Colliwobbles' come into play.

Answer 8

The pies will certainly be up there but they need a permanent ruck. Josh Fraser is needed elsewhere and Cameron Wood is too young and doesn't have enough experience.

Answer 9

Shaw. Clarke. Rusling. Pendlebury. Cloke. Thomas.

The maggies need them 6 to play 18 of 22 and will have a huge dent on the way the ladder looks. They dont have enough depth at present to win the flag.

However, Cloke is going to develop in a CHF to build a team around and alleviate one of the issues thats dogged the maggies for a while - inconsistant/dud key possie forwards. Pendlebury could be anything. Rusling will lead hard and straight and so, get plenty of footy directed through the corridor. Clarke and Shaw to be very damaging off the half back line. Thomas to be spectacular but inconsistent.

Back the maggies to finish top 4 and make the Grand Final within 3 years.

Put good money on Carlton finishing top 4 too.

Answer 10

NO DEY CANT

carlton can with JUDD

Answer 11

yes of cause they can the pies are the best team in the afl history to me cause im the biggest fan

Answer 12

Too early to predict but i think they will make it to the finals but won't win

Answer 13

cant see it myself, but they done better than i expected in 2007, they do have a lot of fighting spirit, no doubt there, but for the sake of the rest of the football public, i hope they dont.

Answer 14

There off to a good start losing the $500k in sponsorship money because one of their players can't keep off the grog.

Answer 15

Yes, they can.

They can do as they always do - be April premiers & then get the Colliwobbles & fall in a hole when the crunch comes.

Answer 16

Yep, especially if we get some more of our VFL players into the side- some more flexibility in the back line using players such as Chris Dawes and Jack Anthony, and with the acquisition of Cameron Wood in the ruck I reckon the magies could even break the 30's 4 in a row record with all our young talent. Pies for premiers 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012   :)

Answer 17

No. The Pies can't do it in '08.

I am giving them the boot & changing to the West Coast Eagles.

Answer 18

Probably. But they need to  put in a lot of commitment.

Shaw is in good form , Thomas is a future gun and Martin Clarke is doing well. But the question is , do they have what it takes to match it with the big guns? My answer is yes.

They came so close to beating the best team  in the preliminary final and beat West Coast in extra time.

They need to win a bit more, but yes, they can do it.

By the way , I'm not a collingwood supporter.

Answer 19

Have to be in the mix.   Missing '07 Grand Final by 5 pts, will inspire them , and they will improve  '08.

Answer 20

Yes. The Pies can do it.

They can demonstrate that they are the masters of choking, when it comes to the big games.

Answer 21

No.

It would spoil my whole year if Collingwood won the GF

In respect of North.......well, I reckon they'd be better off heading 'North to Alaska' for all the chance they have!

Answer 22

Oh h**l yeah they can!!

They suprised everyone last year by finishing in the Top 8, then proceeding to the quarter finals etc...

GO PIES!!

Answer 23

There is a big chance they will.

What about North???

Answer 24

Nope!!!

Answer 25

Anything is possible this year with all of the changes.

If team Eddie win - I will come last in footy tipping!

That is something that I will not be looking forward to in 2008.

Answer 26

of course we can.

we only lost by 4 points in the should have been grand final against the cats...its been a long time...coming 2nd 3 times in the last 5 years (including the 2nd in 2007....we did better than port adelaide anyway)....so its time for a win!!

either st kilda v collingwood grand final

collingwood v hawthron grnad final or

st kilda v hawthorn grnad final.

for once, victoria mayu have both themas on the last saturday in september!!!!
