Unofficial Preview Changes V Carlton (Reid, Blair, Sinkers & Marsh in, four omitted or rested, see OP for team)

[Pie in the Sky]

After Today. We are no Certanties to beat anyone now. Any team can beat us

Sure, if we play like we did today. But Carlton have played like that and worse all season, and we should be embarrassed enough to make sure we put in a decent effort.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Just bring in some blokes that have some ticker and want to play for the jumper, on today's performance very few have that at the football club

Heads will Role IF not

What happens for this club if we lose to Carlton?

Does the word crisis start being thrown around?

It'll come down to who's left standing, if not exactly fit; but I pray we won't have to resort to playing Cox.

 

[Buena]

Play Maynard, Moore, Scharenberg, Marsh, Karnezis, and anyone else worth a chance for the rest of the season. The cue is in the rack, we may as well have a look at as many as possible

 

[ThePhantom777]

In: VFL team
Out: AFL team

Or just clone Varcoe and play 22 of him.

Why not Witts gets a game!!!

 

[mike123]

So a best on ground performance 13 weeks ago is a good enough reason to select him now?

No, its why he was hyped.

 

[Piestration]

Out:
Langdon, Brown, Williams, Toovet, Frost, Maynard, Seeds, Swan, Sidebottom, Adams, Moore, Degoey, Fas, Grundy, Varco, Witts, Crisp,
Pendles, Dwyer, Grrenwood, Shaz & Elliot.

In:
THE BIG SHOW

We can still have 120 rotations and win the game. If we need a sub then he can also wear the vest. Some say he can be in 2 places at the same time.

 

[Kappa]

So you all think he is shut but you expect to get top dollar for him

Teams have shown a history of overpaying for young ruckmen based on "potential"

 

[PicaBoo]

I think they are already in jeopardy. Ed was p****ed today with that performance. ....

You think MM would be calling Ed to get a feel for a comeback.

 

[Pies_10]

Out: Seedsman, Frost (been s**t for weeks now), Witts
In: Cloke, Reid, Sinclair

 

[76woodenspooners]

Thought I'd just add to the chorus of those wanting to banish the Seed. He hasn't played well in the VFL, and his performance today showed that he was undeserving of the spot. Maybe we needed some run and carry in the side, but if he can't produce it in the VFL, why would we think he can do it in the seniors. He might yet become a decent player, but he's not there yet.

Do we give him a contract extension end of year, or do we delist him?

I'd reckon that's the bigger question being asked of him at the moment.

You listened to "Press Red for Ed"? What was he like?

Trade him if he's still got value, If not and its a shallow draft demote him to the rookie list.

Playing two ruckmen has NEVER worked for Collingwood in the past six years. I have no idea why it's being persisted with now. Grundy, despite being shorter than Witts, is a much more competitive player and can at the very least limit the effectiveness of the opposition ruckman's taps. Witts is just a slow, lumbering lump who gets knocked off balance far too easily. There is nothing that he can't learn from playing VFL football instead of AFL.

Grundy is the better option going forward. He always looks better when he plays as the lone ruck because he needs to follow the ball to get involved. He gets lost playing forward because he doesn't know how to put himself in dangerous positions.

Could not agree more. He's similar to Goldstein and Jacobs in that they enjoy the workload but are also one-position players.
Grundy was much better earlier in the season when he only had Gault and White for support. If we forget Gault, we can still function with White as the 2nd ruck and Reid/Darcy as the 2nd fwd (when Cloke comes back)

As for Witts, he may be good, but we were hoping the same with Guy Richards as well. I say we take the risk, trade him to Essendon or GWS for draft picks

 

[mattys123]

No Cloke, as expected.

collingwoodfc: "There are a few boys who'd want to put their hand up in the @VFL tomorrow. I wouldn't imagine Cloke will be available next week."

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I'd reckon that's the bigger question being asked of him at the moment.

He lacks the intensity to play at the top level, he has no consistency and for a lifelong Collingwood supporter as he says he is, he lacks heart and doesn't play for the jumper

 

[MyManLynch]

You listened to "Press Red for Ed"? What was he like?

The only thing red was Eddies face...

 

[76woodenspooners]

The only thing red was Eddies face...

The main commentators dubbed it "Press red for purple".

 

[MyManLynch]

IN: Cloke, Reid
OUT: Seedsman, De Goey

The latter for mine.

Has been at the club long enough to be turning in solid consistent football but for whatever reason hasn't and I doubt now that he ever will. You can't keep persevering with blokes like that (ditto Ben Sinclair) before enough finally is enough.

 

[spartan-magpie]

IN: Cloke, Reid
OUT: Seedsman, De Goey

Cloke isn't in next week. In his lesser bucks said the changes for next week will be decided tomorrow.

Gees I hope PK plays a blinder and Reid gets through unscathed.

Need guys that can KICK and KICK goals.
