Good morning, everybody. It’s mid-August but the weather is closer to mid June. It’s times like these that one appreciates a hot day in summer. Or, even just a nice mid-twenties afternoon in spring… In any event, here is this week’s edition of the Game Day thread for this afternoon’s clash with the spectacularly fallen…

Morning, everyone. Well, this didn’t shape up as a vital, must-win-at-all-costs game when the fixture was released last year. What would have otherwise been as close to a banked four points as you can get without playing is now very much a critical contest. Drop this, and our sliding season will be in a complete…

Good morning, all. Welcome to the Game Day thread for the Biggest Game of the Season, which is now the Biggest Game of the Season since the last time we played in the Biggest Game of the Season. On this occasion, though, the billing is probably worth it. One team, which is not ours, is…

Well. A week really is a long time in football! Good afternoon, everybody. Here, at last, is this week’s edition of the Game Day thread, for this afternoon/evening’s clash on the road against the faltering Greater Western Sydney, after an inspiring away win over our recent tormentors in West Coast. The teams: Tip: Collingwood by…

Good afternoon, one and all. Once again, we pick ourselves up from the mat and stagger on, this time west across the continent to the still shining new-ish Optus Stadium in Perth, for a re-match of the Grand Final re-match against an in-form West Coast, precisely as our form has seemingly deserted us.

My apologies for going MIA last week, but once again, my usual rig packed it in right when I didn’t need it to and had to go back to the shop. Mind you,…

Good afternoon, everyone. How’s that crisp, cold late June winter air? Finally, the bye weekend is over and we can get on with attacking the rest of the premiership season. To that end, our latest skirmish is this afternoon against the Western Bulldogs at the stadium named after a certain comic book company (which I…

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to this week’s Game Day thread for this year’s edition of the Queen’s Birthday clash against the once-were, many moons ago, arch rival Melbourne. Pleasingly, this little event fixture is our home game this season, for the first time in many years. The teams: Tip: Collingwood by 17 points. Over to…

Good morning, everyone. This is your Game Day thread for our home clash against the Fremantle Dockers, as the celebration of the Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round continues again this week. The teams, of which ours is looking considerably better on paper this week… Tip: Collingwood by 31 points. Over to you…

Good afternoon, folks. Apologies for the lateness in getting this thing up, but better late than never. This is your Game Day thread for this Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round clash against the Sydney Swans, at the SCG. How fortuitous for us that our hosts have run into a bit of form over the last…
