Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. GWS (R18, Sat 20/07 4:35pm GIA)

[Horaceg]

For us, pretty straightforward I think.

Out: Pendles, Moore
In: Adams, Howe

Any chance Croc stays in?

 

[Horaceg]

Paddle pop stick and some tape.

Dusty would use a chopstick

 

[Horaceg]

Back to back interstate games against quality sides. Not ideal but thems the quirks

Thank Christ we won last week

We win, we put some space on them, it’s an opportunity.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Quite true but they are quality sides

Thank god the giants have injuries just when we need them to

For sure. It’s not like we get to play them at the MCG where they’re hopeless. The injuries could be crucial.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

We win, we put some space on them, it’s an opportunity.

Neer said it wasnt.

I just said two back to back interstate games vs quality opponents is a tough gig.

In fact its probably a first for Collingwood to travel twoce in two weeks against top eight sides.

And hence, thank God we got off to a good start last week.

Win against GWS and the Richmond game is far less important, don't get me wrong I want to pound them fkrs into the turf at every opportunity but we have bigger fish to fry, lose to GWS and the Richmond game is a must win.

 

[Go Pies!!!!!]

Win the next 2 we should finish 2nd lose 1 or both we will finish 3rd or 4th, could be the difference between playing WCE over there or at The MCG.

Out Moore, Pendles, Crocker.
In Adams, Howe, Sharenberg

Howe said on AFL360 last week if was so close for the eagles game.

If we can avoid WC altogether that would be great! A top four of Geelong, Collingwood, Brisbane and Richmond (in any order) is certainly my preference. First things first let’s get the 4 more wins to lock in top 4

 

[Somebody]

Adams for Pendles if available, likewise Howe for Moore. Crocker, not encessarily a kind decision to give him another chance right now, given it's a second interstate game vs a top 6 and and pacey side so a pretty severe test for him.

Absolutely, I got the sentiment. Last week was massive we got some mongrel back into us and some belief.

We can rebound from the the slump we were in, win the next two and we are in good shape. Not easy but a great opportunity, I think we were coasting a bit and got caught out.

 

[Albert Parker]

We really should be able to defeat GWS with all of Kelly, Coniglio, Ward and possibly Mumford missing from their midfield.
It's basically their first choice starting 4.
Our stock of tall defenders will be hard pressed against their forward line though given Moore's absence.
Better just stop supply!

2016 we played GWS and Adelaide back to back interstate.
Can’t recall if they were both in the eight then.
But it’s happened two trips in a row for us.

 

[unplugged]

I think Pendles will play even if 50/50. Yes he can sit out this week knowing his absence is somewhat nullified by their loss of Cogs and Kelly, but these are the games you want to make sure of.

They still have talent all across the park. And it's at their ground, too.

I just think he plays.

Don't think he will. It's only 7 days after surgery. Adams will be in. Sidey to captain? or is it Adams?

 

[dmoore30]

Howe and shaz are no brainers, we will definitely need an aerial presence they provide to stop Cameron and Finlayson. Tay straight swap for Pendles.

Even tho we have injuries it is no where near the same as last year, hopefully we get our list cherry ripe for september

Will Finlayson play? He didn’t play against the tigers

 

[haydenboii]

In: Shaz Adams Howe (if fit)
Out: Moore Crocker Pendlebury
Have Crisp do a run with job with Whitfield

...and give his ribs a fitness test, if he plays.

Sidebottom is on the higher rung captaincy wise. That’s been the understanding for a few years now.

 

[Big Bryza]

Out - Moore, Crocker, Pendles
Ins - Scharenberg, Howe, Adams

If he's touch and go then freshen Pendles up for a week and get his finger right for the Tigers game.

Maintain the intensity of last week and I'll back us in to get the job done against another injury ravaged side in GWS.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Thanks. They were both in the eight and we lost them both. Went into that run three games and percentage out of the eight so season already over at that point!

I guess those two games helped us start tanking for Stevo!!!!!

 

[nahnah]

Cant see us going with 8 defenders, so if Howe is in and Schaz comes back I suspect one of Quaynor/Nobel goes out... even though I think we purposely brought in an extra small to match up on all the West Coasts smalls I suspect Schaz wont be back in unless Howe misses

Rings a bell.

My take was the club had a small wager that enough losses they’d have a chance at getting Stephenson.
They even created a mythology about heart matters.
The heart matter was Hine fell in love.

One of those toy bet multis that paid off.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Win against GWS and the Richmond game is far less important, don't get me wrong I want to pound them fkrs into the turf at every opportunity but we have bigger fish to fry, lose to GWS and the Richmond game is a must win.

I'd argue if we're serious about Top 4 and the flag this year the next 2 weeks are both must win.

Win both games and Top 4 is all but locked in.
