Game Day AFL Round 8 - Collingwood vs Gold Coast Matchday Discussion (Metricon - 4.35pm)

[Soaring Magpie]

3 at max

He'll be playing on a kid with under 10 to his name, he will get at least 7 shots on goal and will kick ( he may even get a free kick this week)

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Has Cloke ever kicked a bag before? I can only recall 5 or so, maybe once in ten years he kicked 7 at most. 3 sounds right from Dave.

 

[Swooop]

We'll win this. Though feel we're top heavy again, so vulnerable in that way.

Just compiled a few from memory (had to check the rounds and years because it's a bit of a blur now) But one of these were losing games, so they can be easy to forget. There might even be another loss we had to Hawthorn where he still got a bag, but I wasn't able to find it.

Round 4 (Richmond), 2014 - 7
Round 18 (GWS), 2012 - 6
Round 23 (Essendon), 2012 - 6
Qual Final (Hawthorn), 2012 - 6
Round 14 (Sydney), 2011 - 6

I'm hoping for a big game from Billy Elliott tonight. He isn't having a great season yet with 11 goals from 7 games. He had an interrupted pre season but we need him to do more from now on.

 

[Rohan25]

Travis has kicked 7 goals once, 6 goals five times and 5 goals sixteen times.

He will kick at least 5 today.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Cloke will have at least 10 shots on goal. Who knows how many of those will be goals however.

So... he'll kick 2.5? With 3 out on the full. Seems a pretty safe bet.

Pies by 21

He won't get any. Sprocket eade made sure if that by having a whinge to the media. Whinge, whinge, farken, whinge.


Cloke has to kick a minimum of 5 goals or at least completely dominate today. Just for the sake of his confidence.

I'd really love to see him pick up someone a fling them into the grandstand. Do they have a grandstand up there?

Pies by 88.

I've been thinking that recently too.. has not been great but has generally escaped criticism. Chips in for around 10 touches and 1 or 2 goals, but we need more.

Yep, take the 4 goals out he kicked vs the Saints and he's sitting on 7 goals in the other 6 games.

It may be part of our dysfunctional forward line set up though, Elliott isn't really getting any crumbing opportunities it seems, although that's an area of his game that has never been a strength.

I think also that opposition clubs are now putting more time into Elliott, placing their best medium defender on him.

He will fight through it though, will come out the other side a better player for sure.

Agree but its probably because he is kicking goals, the focus and criticism is on Cloke and White because they both miss easy shots from 10 to 30 out

 

[Morganashlee]

It's a beautiful day up here, looking forward to what should be a strong win by the Pies.

I'm pumped for a big one, hopefully the boys are too!

 

[JackoSpades]

Go pies! To win by 4 goals...
My kids second cousin will be playing on white, hopefully white can produce, but young jack has always been full on since he was out of diapers.

Just your typical winter day up here really.

 

[golazo]

Need a win here to get the season back on track.

 

[Rusty22]

Porbbaly the most confident ive felt in 3 years

 

[domus]

I still feel VERY uneasy about this game. I hope my unease is proven to be ridiculous.

dont be ridiculous

 

[mattys123]

I don't know about that, I feel confident every time we play Carlton.

But yeah we should win this one, that back line of there's is weak as, they have 2 very inexperienced players to put on Cloke and White.

All we need to do is win our fair share of the ball against a pretty good contested ball winning midfield and we win easily.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I can see why people feel uneasy but I'm confident. Nothing I've seen from Gold Coast this year troubles me. Admittedly I felt the same last week but I can't be wrong twice in a row.

Cloke to kick 6. White and Billy 3 each.

I just want another full game from De Goey. Even if he gets the red vest I won't mind.

 

[BoxMatrix]

I still feel VERY uneasy about this game. I hope my unease is proven to be ridiculous.

Same here. It'll either be a blowout our way, or it will go down to the wire. We desperately need this win.

 

[TradeDraft]

We'll win this. Though feel we're top heavy again, so vulnerable in that way.

Espically with Witts as our 2nd Ruckman.

Sounds familiar...

Yep. He was very poor last week especially when we needed him.
