    Autopsy 2023 Preliminary Final Blues brave season comes to an end

    Yep both Brisbane and Collingwood have been pretty consistent finalists over the last 5 years...both have lost multiple prelim finals in this time and Collingwood a Grand Final in 2018. Both have paid their dues so to speak to deserve their spot next week. Us winning would have come from...

    Reckon it could be a good thing to turn the game into more of a scrappy contest and slow them down.

    Game Day Around The Grounds - 1st Prelim - Collingwood v GWS

    Really hoped GWS would win not only to knock Collingwood out, but I think they'd be an easier GF opponent if we make it. If they'd won, the GF would be their 4th interstate game in a row which would have been incredibly tough. They looked a little gassed in the last quarter vs Collingwood and...

    And Port got well beaten by GWS at their home ground the next week...seems like they were a bit banged up so quality of opposition to Brisbane is suss. Think we are better than Port in a few areas which could be key: - Key forwards. Lord kicked 4 goals on Andrews. Marshall got easy shots on...

    Very rare I would have thought to have 4 unforced changes heading into a prelim final! Like it though, it's bold and I think the right calls.

    Missing a crucial stat for a defender...goals conceded directly from their actions or inactions. Don't think there is a proper recorded stat for that but the eye test shows Kemp cost us quite a few goals the last 2 weeks. Twice the commentators last week pointed out Kemp left his man free out...

    Martin and Cottrell are basically like smalls at ground level...both have good speed, defensive intent and are goalkickers. Add to Motlop amd Fog that is basically 4 and good forward pressure.

    Shocked at the number of people shocked at Kemps' omission. Probably cost us 4 goals due to being poor in aerial contests or leaving his man free out the back last week. He had a really poor game.

    Think the main reason we'd go Cunners is cause he plays midfield minutes, giving the team flexibility and ability to rest our other mids. That extra bit of insurance in case of an in game injury to a mid...imagine we went with Owies then a mid gets injured in the first quarter...we'd be light on...

    Owies missing could be on the cards. Pretty quiet first 2 finals. Cunners has been off but gives us a midfield rotation. Motlop has more X factor.

    Gov has been playing as basically a medium defender, not a key defender on their 2nd best tall forward who is over 2m tall.

    Don't like Kemp on Hipwood at all. A number of forwards have gotten a hold of Kemp this year...just last week Joel Smith was too much for him. McStay. Lord. Hipwood is over 2m tall...think he'll give Kemp a bath to be honest.

    So who would you put on Hipwood? Marchy is clearly the best suited given Weitering will have to take Danniher.
