How does everyone feel about a pre match thread for people to discuss the upcoming game during the week.
It would be great to have somewhere to discuss it that isn't the Big Footy forums and would hopefully make this sub a little more active.

Let's use this as the pre-match thread.
Aside from here and r/afl, I'm only on one other fan forum (extreme b&w).
Anyway, there's three changes. http://collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2015-05-07/selection-three-changes-for-friday-night
In: Witts, Broomhead & Armstrong. Out: Gault, Seedsman & Ramsay.
I'll be interested to see how Witts goes. Grundy has been amazing!
Resting ruck. Gault didn't contribute too much, Grundy has been great, but gets gassed very easily. I think a bit of relief for him is very welcome. I just pray Witts can bring the ball to ground when he's playing forward.
Hopefully witts can take a few grabs up forward. If he can average a goal a game I'd be pretty happy. Whilst he isn't quick at all he does seem pretty good at timing his leads and is a decent contested mark
Bit disappointed Ramsay is out, hope he bounces back quick with whatever sort of injury they mean by shin. He's been fantastic all year.
Ramsay is very stiff given how good our defence has been, but he's still very young and IMO was our weak link defensively. Armstrong is crazy fit and is a great user of the footy, should add even more composure and use out of the back half, which we need without Seeds. I dream of the day we have Oxley, Seeds, Reid, Langdon all kicking out of the back half. Maybe Scharenberg one day also...
Great idea, would love to have a reoccurring reason to come here!
Good idea. It'd be nice to have a pregame discussion with just pies supporters. I have to reign back the bias in the r/AFL threads but here I can boast to my hearts content. Regarding sub activity I'm pretty happy with how it's been since the season started. This sub was understandably dead in the offseason but now that the footy's started and the pies are doing well there's been a lot more people commenting and contributing.
