Friday night semi-final?

They have every right to be shitty.

The fixturing of rd 22 will come back and bite the AFL on the arse.

The pies will be, but they already get a very favourable fixture during the regular season that enables them to finish higher in the regular season than they might otherwise earn

Is it just me ... or is the date September 11 a bad omen for our Friday night Semi-Final clash against Fitzroy / Brisbane?

Considering Brown and Bradshaw are considered the "twin towers", i think it's a rather good omen.

Perhaps they will crumble like savoy's at the hands of Lake and Morris.

If it was any other club I would agree with you, but the fact of the matter is that it is Collingwood and we are talking about a club that receives the most favourable home and away draw every single year. Perhaps it is Karma deciding it was time to step in and hurt them at the business end and hand another club an advantage for once.

Yes Collingwood get a favourable draw, but the only reason this happens is because every Victorian based club wants a home game against them.. They draw the big crowds, so teams request to play a home game against them, who's fault is this?

Yes the Crows have a big advantage this week against them, but what advantage did St Kilda have over them despite finishing 5 or 6 wins ahead of them? An extra 3 hours break? If anything Collingwood were favoured playing at the there home turf, the MCG.

No surprises that Didak, Davis, Medhurst and Anthony were all terrible against a gun team in the finals. Having said that, I think despite the 6 day break - Collingwood will win this week - the losers of 1 v 4, 2 v 3 games tend to win in the second week even though the punters jump off them.

Get on the Dogs/Pies double.

Over the past 9 years the record for this happening is 16-2. One of those 2 wins was when Coll defeated WC in extra time.
