Collingwood: The Quarter-Time Review
70 407
Collingwood has reached the quarter time of its premiership defence in 2011. With a bye in round seven, it is the perfect time to cast a quick review over the opening six rounds.It has been a very interesting start to the year for the Magpies. At times they have lacked the same intensity as in 2010, they are yet to string together a really solid four-quarter performance and have a number of players struggling to find their best form. Yet, they sit undefeated at the top of the ladder with a...
Preview: ANZAC Day - Collingwood vs. Essendon
91 533
This week’s preview is dedicated to a true Collingwood supporter Brent who was known on the Internet by his alias ‘Didaka’. Brent passed away after a long fight with cancer this week. During his fight, he always made the time to discuss all things Collingwood and was a regular user of Collingwood discussion boards where I first started writing these previews. I hope Didaka that you get a front row seat from above to watch your beloved Pies take on the Bombers this ANZAC Day.Sixteen years...

Match Preview: Round 1: Collingwood vs. Port Adelaide
191 1,159
I watched the Grand Final Replay last night before I went to bed. I figured I needed to watch it one more time before I turned all my focus onto the 2011 season. After watching the game, I fell asleep very satisfied with life and slept very soundly. However, I woke up this morning with my full attention on Round 1. I have taken my Collingwood cap off and switched back to full analysis mode. Apologies to opposition readers for the biased start to the year, however you have to forgive me a little...
The Ultimate St Kilda vs Collingwood Preview
13 5,239
Round 16's feature match is definitely at the MCG this Saturday afternoon between Collingwood and St.Kilda. It is a battle between 2nd and 3rd on the ladder, so there is plenty at stake as the winner will hold 2nd spot at the conclusion of this round, and potentially first if Adelaide can upset Geelong.It’s so good to have a big game on a Saturday afternoon at the G. Collingwood has not played a Saturday afternoon game since Round 2, whilst the Saints are playing their first this round. It’...
The Ultimate Collingwood v West Coast Preview
12 2,946
It’s Round 14 and Collingwood host West Coast at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. The run home to finals has begun, and the top 8 is still very even. Geelong’s loss to St.Kilda has particularly opened up the top 4, with Collingwood a sneaky chance to move into the top 2 at the conclusion of this round.The Eagles on the other hand are languishing in 2nd last position, merely percentage ahead of Richmond. The heat has been turned up on John Worsfold, who has stated that his team will not...
The Rivalry Preview: Collingwood v Carlton
21 2,729
I have no doubt that Collingwood versus Carlton is still the biggest rivalry in AFL football. ANZAC Day may be the biggest build up and the interstate derbies may be the most brutal, but the Collingwood v Carlton rivalry is the most traditional contest. The battle between these 2 sides has never relied on ladder position, nor has it relied on gimmicks or promotion. Without fail, this game will always draw a big crowd and the atmosphere will always be electric. However, clashes over the last 15...
The Ultimate Rd 15 Preview: Port v Collingwood
03 2,649
Round 15 opens on Friday night when the Port Adelaide Power host the Collingwood Magpies at AAMI stadium. It is a game between 2 sides in completely contrasting form and ladder positions. On the one hand, Collingwood is backing up from an 83 point hiding of the West Coast Eagles, whilst Port Adelaide was on the receiving end of a 57 point mauling from the Dockers. For the second week in a row, Collingwood’s opposition is a side where the coach is under pressure, senior players are under...
Match of the Rd Preview: Geelong v Collingwood
11 2,574
Geelong hosts the Collingwood Magpies this Saturday night at the MCG in a top of the table battle which is likely to decide the minor premier for season 2010. In the last 2 months, Collingwood has rightfully stamped itself as a true contender for the flag this year, whilst Geelong has shown me very little to suggest their era of dominance is about to end.Geelong has been here before. Typically, the result of a clash like this is reversed in the finals. Port Adelaide beat Geelong last in...
