After last week’s bye, Collingwood and Adelaide should be refreshed as they lock horns in a blockbuster clash at the MCG. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 3:20pm (AEST).
Off the back of a shock loss to the Demons in Round 14, the Pies will be looking to get back to winning ways immediately against the Crows. It could well prove to be the loss the black and whites needed; sharpening them up as we enter the final third of the home and away season.
Adelaide have been inconsistent of late, winning well against the West Coast last time out, falling to the Suns and Bulldogs over the last month, and scoring a ripping win against the Lions wedged in between. It sums up the plight of Matthew Nicks’ young team.
Team news sees the Crows travel east with an unchanged line-up to the one which put the West Coast to the sword a fortnight ago. The Pies do have some changes for the match-up, with an emotional return for Jeremy Howe and Jamie Elliott returning to the 22. as the troops return, the competition looks set to be firmly reminded that they remain the flag favourites as the run home to the finals begins.
Prediction
This simply looks a bridge too far for the Crows. They will, as always, fight the fight at different stages of the contest, but the Pies should simply run over the top of them in the second half.
Collingwood by 42 points.

Not overly familiar with thunderbirds-but like all good Collingwood supporters, I have a liking for ancient Roman poetry so the reference is to Virgil the poet. :laughing:

Did you see our game against the Crows in Adelaide? Worst biased crowd umpiring I have ever seen and you still didn’t win?

Bit more composure early and you probs would of had it. Should be some epic showdowns in the years to come with both clubs exciting lists and the young stars.

Hey Virgil the gang say hi! Alan, Jeff, John and Scott

Ah, well, I've read the controversy about umpiring. We should've nailed it earlier. The ¾ was pleasing and that is engine room for a win and we lost small % stays close. We'll, you know what they say in the classics?

Just saw the replay here in S.A. Great game, the last quarter pressure was awesome, good win by Collingwood, you almost want to go into the last quarter behind them and flip the script and put the pressure on them.lol. Adelaide probably should of been in front that first quarter cost em in the long run but the future looks good for them.

the home team usually gets the points with umpires nothing new about that ...in the end the game was still there to be won and once again we were not quite good enough...but its as close to an honourable loss as I have seen

I never suggested a soft call l just stated he is The Golden Child.

Peter you have been for quite awhile just a hiccup.

The Pies aren’t the benchmark on that performance, conceded 8 goals in a row at one stage. We are out of form atm
Virgil
Roar Rookie
How many wins needed to play finals this year? 12?
Virgil
Roar Rookie
Hardly a soft call. He was tackled late to prevent him running on. In rugby he would be sent off for a deliberate foul.

I've been out and forgot the match was on :crying:

Lot of Adelaide fans complaining (rightfully) about getting the rough end of the stick today seem to be forgetting they copped the biggest rub of the green I've ever seen when they played Collingwood in Adelaide earlier this year... and still lost. Bad umpiring evens out in the long run - if the Pies could win despite it on the road, then so could the Crows have if they'd kicked a bit straighter in the first half.
