Preview Round 6: Collingwood vs Essendon - Anzac Day Clash - Tuesday 25th April 3:20pm - Preview, Changes and Thoughts

Am I reading too much into EFC including Walla in this photo??

Just check the team sheet and you will see... Ah, never mind.

ooh Augie March
seem an appropriate one for the day.

Also, if we don't submit team sheets, is that a loop hole to play Merrett?

Are we going to argue that the suspension was only for 1 week being teams submitted up to Friday 21st April?
I could get behind that.

Looks like the selectors for both teams don't work weekends, and decided to take the Monday off to make it a 4 day weekend.

Please be 5pm… but can imagine that channel 7 probably has their stupid end of news rights in play here.

 

[Ati Tude]

I can now only assume that given the teams run out together through a joint banner that straight after that happening, the two captains will get together and pick their teams from the combined pool of players.

I guess they will be presenting it to a Collingwood player before the game.........

Can't help but feel it's due to the Pies and them stubbornly wanting every last minute to see if the sick guys can play

The sick guys all trained yesterday so think they are all good to go (although Kruger was separated out)

Yeah but just because you train doesn't mean you're 100% with no lingering effects. Final delay could be due to that.

Team is out

IN - Weideman, Davey Jr
OUT - Merrett (suspended), Jones (omitted), Hind (sub)

Emergencies - Hobbs, Hind, D’Ambrosio and Jones.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Ben Hobbs must have ran over Brad’s dog or something

 

[mcgrath_truther]

team released (finally)

You’d think he’ll be the sub.

Allows flexibility if we have issues with the midfield rotations etc.

Why release the team so early, though? There's at least 18 hours before first bounce.

 

[Call Me Cake]

What about the Pies team

Or hind again

 

[DallasCrane316]

What about the Pies team

I think it’s looking like their ins are

De Goey, Kreuger and Ruscoe. Haven’t seen the confirmation though.

2 forwards coming in for us would indicate what Setterfield mentioned last week - Perkins, Caldwell and Stringer will be rotating in the midfield.

 

[EnolaGay]

The named team looks solid, and nice to see the depth we have in the emergencies. Hopefully Hobbs gets the sub as a reward for his good form in the 2s.

 

[Megabattimus]

Would not put it past Brad to pull a fast one before the bounce by bringing Hobbs into the 22 for Davey or Heppell, with the one who comes out becoming the sub.

Even if he doesn't do that, Hobbs will be a great sub.

I don’t mind playing the 3 small forwards. Really hype up the pressure.

On the other hand hobbs is really been left out in the cold atm. Are we going to lose him

Yeh I doubt he’d do that with a young kid on Anzac Day
