Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Preliminary Final vs. Sydney Swans, Saturday 17/09, 4:45pm, SCG

[Abdul_The_Bull]

Despite WHE and Johnson's relatively poor showing last week, and the missed scoring opportunities, I can't see a change to what was otherwise a very dominant performance.
Edit: I expect that emergencies will be consist of Carmichael, Krueger, Henry and possibly (and inexplicably) C. Brown

 

[Big Bryza]

Hate that its a bullshit Twilight match again.

Much better than an arvo game in Sydney. Terrible ground to watch on TV, even more so during daylight. At least at night we can make out who half the players are.

10 second grab from my son who made the trip in for training this morning.

I was mostly interested in asking about Maynard and he said he trained well and didn't look noticeably hampered.

Without my prompting he said that one thing that stood out was that Kreuger had a terrible session and couldn't hold a mark to save himself. He was getting very frustrated and mouthing off at himself.

Other than that ....big crowd in , lovely day and wants $100 transferred to his bank account to spend in the Collingwood store

This is gonna sound odd, but as the game gets closer, a major reason I hope we win is just to be able to really enjoy and take in the week that follows?

We have Thursday and Friday off so it's a nice short work week, my parents will have the kids so we want to go to the Wednesday night or Thursday training (whichever one it is). Make a thing of it, grab a bite on Swan St and then head down or grab the bite afterwards.

Then get the kids for the Parade Friday and really just take in the week in a way previous years haven't allowed for

Stop being a tight ass dad and give him the money

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Did you give him the money or do we need to crowdfund it?

Haha - rest easy , it's already been spent

OUT: $100 from your bank account
IN: $100 into your sons bank account

He gave you the goss. Absolutely worth a 100 bucks.

No pressure on us apparently…

Not as much prelim pressure on Magpies, says Mason Cox; Dangerfield says broadcast rights deal wouldn’t be $4.5bn without AFLW

Collingwood’s big game specialist Mason Cox says he is relaxed ahead of the upcoming clash with Sydney, but wonders whether the remaining contenders feel the same. Meanwhile, Patrick Dangerfield has spoken of the AFLW’s place in the bumper new TV rights deal.

Laughed out loud at this:

“It’s a lot easier to tell if you are playing shit up forward, I’ll tell you that,” Cox said.

He said not as much

Which isn't untrue?

How could there be? We weren't even expected to make the 8, let alone Top 4. We've also now made a Prelim and are playing Sydney in Sydney where we lost a few weeks back.

How is there not far less pressure on us?

On the club's socials from today's training, Bianco was in white, as was Krueger, while Ginno etc in black - is that an indication of picked team (black) v others (white)?

If so, could be looking at a change?

It is usually the core 18-20 in black (can't remember specific figures), and the remaining are drawn from the white.

Ah makes sense. I'm not anti Trent getting dropped, but I'm not anti him playing either... he'll give us 15 touches in a 6/10 performance guaranteed

Seven just had bad vision. For most of the game, the camera was at an annoying angle to the point I wondered if Seven was trying to negotiate for the AFL to pay them out early and end their deal.

Agree. The broadcast cam angle is way too low

Yes, it made the field look like it was weird bowl.

And oddly enough, the VFL coverage was fine.

Unlikely, JC was in white too.

 

[Jen2310]

18 v 18, there will always be those in white. Like Murphy. Cox/Cameron, one was black one was white, they then alternated.

Jen2310 does reviews of training in a dedicated thread which give pretty good indications of who is likely to play

He's WAY too big for Howe.

It seems that way. Although Howe certainly killed the 205 cm Lobb last week

He sure was. He was quite happy with the boys.

 

[Didak_attack]

Mason Cox for BOG - as a large contingent of his family are flying in from Texas!

Let's play the most basic game plan of all time on the slightly smaller SCG.

Plug Cox at FF, kick to the hotspot and hope he brings his marking hands and the umpire brings his free kick whistle.
