Preview 2023 Prelim Final - Collingwood vs GWS Giants, Friday 22 September, 7.50pm, MCG

[Land of the Giants]

That looks not great? Maybe he's under orders from the medical staff to not strenuously use it throughout training but man he's not doing much of anything outside of sticking his arm in the air. Hopefully, a couple of days recovery and a big jab does him so good because that looks worse than I thought.

It wouldn't surprise if he's a late out.

Yeah me too. So many mind games this time of year.

I really think that Briggs in or out goes a long way to whether we win or lose

Flynn is not up to the task

Preuss would replace him ... and he'll have Cameron/Cox shitting themselves

Preuss will have one job.
Mummy the f* out of the opposition.

Give Briggs a rest ready for the Grand Final.

Preuss has had a tough run with injury so it's easy to forget that he's a pretty decent player when fit (and an absolute monster of a man too). He'll do a good job for us if he has to play.

We have to select the fittest team.

We all know what happened at the GF a few years ago. If we give Collingwood the slightest advantage, we're done.

 

[ragzztoriches]

Not too worried about Briggs. Team have been pretty adamant that he will play and this current administration hasn’t been too covert with us regarding players fitness.

If the team thinks he’s good to go then I trust them to have made the right decision.

I’m sure preuss can come in and do a job for us if we need him to.

Looking forward to seeing t green announce himself as a bone fide star of the comp on Friday.

If Briggs has full movement and needs a jab to get through, he'll be fine.
If he has restricted movement, it could be a problem.

 

[Giant Pete]

With a jab, Briggs will be fine. He’ll get another one at half time

Depends if it's a SLAP tear of not.
If there is any cartilage floating, it catches and even with pain killers hurts like a bitch. Full tear, the pain killer deadens the area, no catching and you're fine.

Expect he'll play.

If it’s anything like that I doubt he plays.

Mason Cox is pretty tall, maybe we just need physicality that Keefe can sometimes provide.
Or Harry played ok as a mobile ruck at times, maybe he gets a bit of a go in the ruck. Collingwood forwards aren't that tall, do we really need HH down back against them.

I reckon if a ruck is selected as the Sub, that will be a good indication where he is at

Few vic based journos seem to be buying into this narrative that we are too tall down back which is untrue.

They have miohcek, Mcstay and cox playing forward. So we need at least 3 key defenders. You could never go into a prelim with only 2 key backs in the side. Otherwise you are screwed with injury or undersized when we one of them has a rest. HH tends to play more a hybrid role too

Great news - Briggs playing. If we are playing mind games and Briggs is not playing, then Preuss to make his first appearance this season in a PF!

Idun plays on talls and smalls

Idun, Buckley both have the pace to play on smalls. Himmel usually picks one up. Perryman is back there bullying someone. Our back line is our biggest strength ....we are fine
