after a week off,
our Coach, Scamper, My Little Geelong Cat:

Meows the Following:

 

[Rod Stroker]

Only change Wood for Ahern..
It was out of Wood and Garner, as need more players who can rotate at the coal face. Sorry Wood have a couple of rounds in the twos and come back with that killer instinct.

Wood was good against Dogs and Tigers under the lid. I'd stick with him for this week.

We ran out of legs against GWS, the pies will do the same, so we need another midfielder in..
who goes out?

 

[the flying ham]

Phillips and Sidebottom on the wings. Dumont to Sidebottom, Polec - Phillips. LMac or Atley will go to De Goey. Wouldn't surprise if Thommo went to him.

I remember from the game last year thinking he killed us.

Yep. This is the issue imo. I think we break even and rise to their level but it's the role players in their side that I'm worried about. It's the one's like Phillips, Thomas, Mihochek etc. that I worry about while we are focused on the main elite players in their team. Win those battles and we win imo.

We have to bring the Richmond like intensity or we lose. Simple as that. Zurhaar, Garner, and Turner need to put pressure on their defenders. We are lucky that Howe, Langdon, and Dunn are out as it puts more pressure on their bit part defenders like Aish, Greenwood, and Crisp.

Tarrant - Reid
Durdin - Cox
Thompson - Mihochek
Marley - Thomas
LMac - De Goey
Atley/Pittard - Varoe/WHE

Agreed. Need to shut down the guys on the periphery. Good backline match ups

LMac - De Goey

I have a bad feeling about this.

Ahern for Garner. As it should have been last game.

I think Wood has the potential to do more damage than Garner.

It’s a truely flip a coin between the two.
The only reason I’d drop Wood is Garner outperformed him on the day. I actually think there’s only one spot between the two of them.

The only way I can see them playing together in the forward line, is TT moving to the midfield or a HBF. To get him involved in the game more.

Thommo to DeGoey definitely for mine. A good match up as we have the talls covered.

He could destroy Atley or LMac, way too strong/good.

 

[Benno_900]

Every team coming off a bye has beaten the team that played the previous round.

Except Geelong.

 

[Benno_900]

I would have Ahern in for Durdin.

If Macmillan is back, he will come in instead.

 

[Moti]

I’d go with Pittard on De Goey.

100%. Can also go with WHE as well.

Jesus Christ, the team changes are coming in from the 5th dimension now.

Tarrant - Reid
Durdin - Cox
Thompson - Mihochek
Marley - Thomas

Atley/Pittard - Varoe/WHE

Luke's pace is off mate, and De Goey goes high & hard. Collingwood have no problems hitting him up at 50-60 metres out from goal. I also don't know whether Durdins body strength is up to shifting Cox.

As I mentioned, I reckon they will push WHE up to the wing in the hope of getting a Dumont match up.

Collingwood are all about creating mismatches.

 

[Mav]

I would have Ahern in for Durdin.

If Macmillan is back, he will come in instead.

Mihocek is 192cm, De Goey 191cm, Reid 196 and Cox 211. We've got 3 defenders above 190cm so we're not going to drop the tallest of the lot.

 

[75-77-96-99]

i will say this only once.....if u watch all collingwood games you will notice that Mason Cox stands the mark whenever a player has a shot for goal whether its 20 metres out or 50 metres out.... Goldy needs to do the same.. no need for goldy to be on the line for a 30 metre shot for goal... A : its better if he is on the Mark to make the goalkicker have to kick a bit higher and B: if it is a Goal he is already close the the centre square and doesnt have to run 100 metres to get there and C: if its a point he is already positioned for the kick in.. simples really.

 

[Horizons_00]

Pies will come for blood after Bucks was not happy with last weeks performance

Not confident at all, but hurt them North!

 

[FlyHigh18]

Just came back from pies vs dogs and in short we have our work cut out. Im stirring all my pies mate with a bit of banter but hopefully we can show some heart and effort and not get pumped

Yep. Also Pies made a crap ton of non pressure errors and still won comfortably. Doubt those errors will be there this weekend.

We need to win in the air if we're a chance, they love their 3 kick post to post play.

who goes out?

We’re 5-8 sitting in 13th place. Finding players to drop shouldn’t really be an issue.

Why is Ahern on the outer?

Whatever his trangressions were, they seem to have pissed of the new coach too.

Mihocek is 192cm, De Goey 191cm, Reid 196 and Cox 211. We've got 3 defenders above 190cm so we're not going to drop the tallest of the lot.

Who would you drop for Macmillan?

If he is fit, he comes in.
