So Majec, Van Rooyen, Langford's kicking goals, Pickett, Sharp, Fritch.

It's a really good forward line now, and they've been so good.

But up against Houston, Maynard, Quaynor, Frampton, Jeremy Howe.

So that's probably the part of the ground is can Collingwood's defence –

uh keep melbourne to a low score you know less than less than what i said not 99 points is their average i reckon they can i reckon the pies can can get on top in that part of the ground if they get enough pressure up the ground but that'll be fascinating to watch that part of the ground too what elements of melbourne's game plan will be front of mind for craig mccray yeah it's pretty straightforward isn't it i mean they're playing with such great confidence melbourne they've got great belief in their attacking instinct um has been has been awesome

And now there's that growing expectation of perform and win.

So if the Pies are going to get the game on their terms, I think they'll want to make sure that their defensive system doesn't allow Melbourne to make this game transitional.

So they're going fast.

They're going forward.

They're taking the game on.

But if Collingwood's defense can get on top, and I mean team defense, they can pressure Melbourne into enough turnovers, I think.

And, you know, you hear the coach is a bit of a cliche, but our best offense, this is Collingwood, our best offense will come on the back of our great defense.

So that I think will be front of mind for Craig McRae this week is we're going to beat Melbourne with our great defense that creates great offense on the back of it.

Yeah.

So Collingwood wins 72 to 60, Melbourne win 98 to 75.

Yep.

That sort of thing.

Yep.

All right.

Which way?
