Not gonna lie, I'll be tempted to rock that at any finals he is in 🤣

Was gonna get a shirt that said "Gay-cos of Dai-cos" last year but decided it may come across as poor taste. (Will edit to remove this if anyone is offended ofcourse)

Not happy my mate Oleg gets the sub duties this week. Think he's impactful enough to have a full game. But we do rotate the sub so I guess it's his turn again.
Who does he replace in the side?

That's the thing! No one is deserving of being dropped or being the sub.

I'd prefer to see the older players getting the sub role I think - like we did with Mitchell, who on his gameday vlog, remarks that he's not as sore next day with the managed minutes. I'm just such an Oleg fan, love seeing this man excelling with the Pies.

It depends on how you define deserving? Because on form it certainly is harsh but I also think he’s clearly the weakest in his position compared to his competitors.

I don’t mind older players to get the sub role for a rest but they need to play full games in the big clashes Imo.

I love Oleg’s style of play. I love watching anyone who can run and carry. There’s always excitement when he gets the ball in a bit of space.

The change in the sub rule this year is missed by the media & some supporters. That's what annoys Fly so much, every time a journo refers to the sub as being dropped. The sub is not just used for injury, but now tactical.

Mitchell wasn't dropped last week when he was made sub. Oleg isn't being dropped this week either. He's impactful, he's fast, he's exactly the type of player you need when the game requires pace. And he's also playing well enough to come on as the sub in the first qtr if needed through injury.
 
Oleg is the IDEAL sub.
I compare the sub role to the old days of 19th/20th man. It was really hard to come straight on from sitting on the bench for a fair chunk of the game and come up to speed and get straight into the action.

Thats genius. As a gay dude here. Not offensive in the slightest.

But theres so many white knights that will probbaly ride together until you are ushered out of the stadium. People become far too over sensitive

Don’t disagree. I personally am not in the camp that doesn’t see that the sub role has changed. Why I said being dropped OR being the sub. However being the sub is a decline from the starting 22.
Mitchell is clearly best 22 but was managed.
Oleg isn’t being managed. In his case it’s because he’s just scrapping into the 23. I like how this blokes goes about his footy and it’s a shame it will only be a limited game for him.
But I don’t know who would be out instead of him.
He’s doing better than Ash Johnson who’s contributed 6 goals over the last two games. Such is the “problem” we have at Collingwood with a healthy list.
 
Who does he replace in the side?
Lipinski for me, as I think we're overloaded with mids/hhf. I think Mitchell also needs to get back to his early season contested work form, for the same reason.

Markov for Lipinski likely means Markov for Crisp at the hbf and Crisp for Lipinski at the hff. I think both moves are a downgrade.

I think Mitchell’s contested work declining has more to do with the oppositions lack of quality rather than a drop of form.

I don't see that. I don't see either Lippa or Markov as starters who hold a role as our best choice for any position. To me they're both rotation players.
