Preview R10: Changes vs. Collingwood

[dogs105]

Murray, Murphy and Crouch all unavailable for selection.

 

[whattagun07]

I actually have a good feeling about this one

 

[Rabman]

Hopefully a nice big gang tackle on Houston early in the 1st, make him uncomfortable.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Lachie Schultz too. Mihocek is 50/50 also.

They get back Maynard and Pendles.

This has a classic Pies up against the odds pulling off a courageous victory whilst we blow our opportunity, either through missed chances, dumb coaching/selections and dodgy umps.

 

[pjcrows]

Its now or never for Nicks to win his first game against the Pies.

No better opportunity he will have.

Sounds similar to the Freo game.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Sounds similar to the Freo game.

And Freo thought the same against the Pies last weekend with their outs and Freo playing at home.

We know Nicks will let Daicos run amok. He will have a plan of course, he just likes to keep these plans for a rainy day.

 

[Redleg Crow]

I do, and hes been doing so since he was a kid. Its not new.

Im just not sure throwing Curtin in there is a better idea.

Agree. Let’s not get the kid injured playing a fill in role.

 

[jirkago1975]

Rest Walker and Curtin
Bring in Dowling and Draper
Feel we need to go smaller and add more runners against the pies.

Or play Curtin in Walkers role and bring in Draper. We need to fast track Draper and play him in the middle. Last week taught us that our midfield failed and Draper is the one that could fix this in the future, get game so to him now

 

[Danger in Texas]

No

5 of last 6 games under 8 points ?

We’ve gotta get over the hump at some point… right?

This should be our strongest side we’ve played against them during the Nicks tenure

 

[Danger in Texas]

Charlie West looking one of the steals of the draft , we took Welsh instead which is looking like the wrong move

We had to take Welsh for PR reasons, but yeah West looking the better player by far

 

[GreyCrow]

Darcy Moore ruled out aswell as De Goey.

Jesus why do Port always get kissed on the .. one moment

Oh it's us - should bloody well hope so

 

[MrBarry]

Hopefully a nice big gang tackle on Houston early in the 1st, make him uncomfortable.

Completely forgot that little prick was playing.

Quality of players is not the reason we can't beat Collingwood. McRae routinely beats Nicks at the death, a real problem for Nicks as we just saw against Port

2024 R11: Take the lead in the dying minutes then cough up the last goal of the game

2023 R15: Lead at 3QT then immediately concede three of the first four goals in the fourth and fall in a heap trying to overcome a narrow Collingwood lead

2023 R7: Lead at 3QT then basically don't score at all in the fourth quarter while Collingwood have half a dozen shots

2022 R18: Lead by 16 points approaching 3QT then concede six of the next seven goals. Can't reel the margin back in the last 10 mins

2021 R12: Get up by a goal approaching 3QT then concede three junk time goals to go down at the break. Can't overcome the margin in the fourth

From the 25 minute mark of the 3rd quarter we've been outscored 19-12 in goals across those five matches, having led four of five matches at that point

That game round 15 2023 broke my heart. Of course I had to travel to Melbourne with my Collingwood girlfriend. I genuinely thought we were going to win when Tex ran into the open goal with three minutes to go… I have no idea why we fold against them every single time

[arsene wenger1]

Michaelaney will play on Elliot and shut him down, I have no doubt.

It's Hill who i have no idea how to match up on.

I’d almost go max on hill and worrell on Elliot

I get it

But I think the fact we were able to hold on in the first place last week, is improvement

We would’ve lost the Port game this time last year. Probably in 2023 too

 

[WeeBlake]

We had to take Welsh for PR reasons, but yeah West looking the better player by far

Langford also looking very good so far

 

[Danger in Texas]

Langford also looking very good so far

Not gonna judge that one until about three or four years in

We needed speed and ball winning. Draper showed that in his junior years

 

[Slime Roy]

I can't remember the exact incident but I was sure Beau Macreary would be suspended this week for a head high bump.
Apparently nothing to see. Never even heard it mentioned since.

Absolute joke he's not suspended.

 

[Nepotism]

No Darcy Moore is kinda huge.... Means one of Fog Tex or TT is gonna be on like Maynard.

Adelaide forward line will be unstoppable if we win Mids.

 

[rocket18]

They get back Maynard and Pendles.

This has a classic Pies up against the odds pulling off a courageous victory whilst we blow our opportunity, either through missed chances, dumb coaching/selections and dodgy umps.

Realistically all 3 are more than probable, hence why our record in close finishes is appalling.

Missed chances - more than likely, pressure situations and Crows doesn't go well together.
Dumb coaching - absolutely, 5 years of Nicks says so.
Dodgy umps - absolutely, 25 years of history says so.
