Carey: Pie premiership no cakewalk

In his weekly BPL Vidcast, Wayne Carey said talk of Collingwood being a shoo-in for the 2011 Premiership is nonsense. Carey said St Kilda's effort last Friday in which they had more scoring shots than the Pies showed to him that

the premiers were beatable. Hawthorn, Geelong and Carlton would all provide a stern challenge in September as would West Coast if it played two finals in Perth, so Carey felt that the premiership race was wide open. In discussing the abuse of Stephen Milne by a section of the Collingwood fans, Carey said he doubted whether the Saints' goalsneak would hear many of the vile comments, and was unlikely to be worried about them anyway. The people most affected by that abuse were Milne's family, for whom the experience would be very unpleasant. The dual premiership captain discusses the highlight reel of high marks this year - Adam Goodes' being the latest - and looks ahead to the mouthwatering set of match-ups in Round 22, kicked off by Carlton-Hawthorn on Friday night, giving his tips for the four biggest games.
