Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. Melbourne Demons (Round 12, Mon 10/06 3:20pm MCG) FREEZE MND

[Vicky Park]

Great ins. Sorry for Reid, but both Sier and Cox make us better than the usual ‘like for like ’ replacements - they offer significant points of difference. We will structure up differently, with flow on effects across the ground. That’s ‘positive’ flow on effects (I hope).

 

[TKiL]

Sier in - good move - more grunt is good
Cox in - good move - he doesn't need match practice to be taller than his opponents

Think you're right in general, but I reckon Cox probably needs a run in the VFL first.

Just offloaded a gorilla on Sier for brownlow

 

[Yidaki]

So pumped to see the again. We've missed him.

Very happy to have the bear back but Cox too has hurt us being on the sidelines.

The forward line has sagged badly without his defender disrupting influence - his sheer height and relative athleticism forces opposition teams to man up on him, allowing our other forwards more room to create and finish.

Bear should help us break out of the new tactic employed against us this year - flooding the ball with players and stifling the play.

Wish for health and true friends Dave - immensely more valuable than any amount of money mate.

This Confirms to me this is the Final Year for Reid at Collingwood

Not necessarily.
Maybe.

But if he’s happy for another year on ok coin, then why not as depth and help?

Very very very happy.

Strange that Cox named on bench. Surely if he’s playing he should be named at FF or CHF. Still in some doubt to play?

Just offloaded a gorilla on big cox to snag the first sausage roll at $17/1.

Wish me luck.

I’m with you on that one. Took him rolled in with West Coast over Sydney.

I’d suggest just a convenience as was part of greater 8 man bench.

The final line up will be finalised bench (ie the four that’s on the bench at game start) and all prior to game, say 1 hour before.

 

[shaunalbertson]

wouldnt be against debuting Quaynor

100% with you. Hard to break into such a good team though

 

[left at home]

A 50% Cox still gives more than a 100% Reid

Luckily Cox is more than 50%

 

[Albert Parker]

Cox will be a late out for Reid.

I attended training today. Neither Reid nor Quaynor trained from what I saw. I don't expect Reid to be a late in. Cox looked OK in the air, but his goal kicking at the end of training was disappointing, as is often the case.
Billy and Nathan Murphy were doing plenty of running at a decent clip.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Cox being underdone doesn't worry me that much given you'd expect May and Lever to be a bit off the pace themselves.

 

[smiddaz123]

This

"With our midfield and defence, there is no way Cox should be the difference between winning and losing. At the MCG, our team should be expected to win comfortably without him. Fact."

You don't think the team should be comfortably beating Fremantle at the MCG with or without Cox?

Okay then.

 

[sirlothie]

Melbourne trying to throw the kitchen sink at us bringing back Lever and May at the same time but I reckon it will backfire. Too much rust to bring into one area at the same time.

 

[Harry22]

Same as when WHE came Straight in and he done very little since then

I quite often keep an eye on collingwood related stuff because my dad is a fan. So I like to read your forums a lot.
