Preview Round 1 2019, Collingwood vs Geelong, Friday March 22nd 7:50pm

[Turbocat]

I expect:
B: Kolo Blicavs Henderson
HB: Stewart Taylor CGuthrie
C: Duncan Parfitt Kelly
HF: Rohan Hawkins Menegola
F: Dahlhaus Sav Ablett
R: Stanley JSelwood Danger
Int: Clark Constable Henry Atkins/Miers/Zuthrie/MOC

The only senior players out are injured ones. If Miers gets in its against other kids.

Just trying to pick the diff between your and mine ... Henderson seems to be the main one.

B: Kolo - Blicavs - Stewart
HB: CGuthrie - Taylor - Clark
C: J. Selwood - Constable - Duncan
HF: Ablett - Hawkins - Parfitt
F: Atkins - Ratugolea - Rohan
R: Stanley - Kelly - Dangerfield
I: Henry - Dalhaus - Meirs - Menegola

 

[Turbocat]

By “interesting” I mean something not obvious to the eye. E.g. Atkins plays; well who from the forward-ish list misses? Dahlhaus? Rohan? Surely not Menegola or Parfitt.

It has to add up to 22.

I have Atkins,Rohan Dahk and Meirs on the bench ... maybe Im missing someone but I think its mainly the guys out are not game ready.

B: Kolo - Blicavs - Stewart
HB: Guthrie - Taylor - Clark
C: J. Selwood - Constable - Duncan
HF: Ablett - Hawkins - Parfitt
F: Atkins - Ratugolea - Rohan
R: Stanley - Kelly - Dangerfield
I: Henry - Dalhaus - Meirs - Menegola

Bews and 2e would be in if fit.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Bring this game on.
I really want to see our game plan.
I really want to see Clark, Constable, Atkins, Dahlhaus, Rohan in the hoops for the first time.
I really want to see our forward line function
I really want to see Gaj compliment that function.
I really want to see Selwood and Danger playing more on the outside
I really want to see Parfitt, Kelly and Constable in the middle
I really want to see Harry back to his best
I really want to see Stanley using the extra space with his speed
I really want to see Blitz, Stewart, Taylor, Clark, Hendo and O'Connor rule the backline
I really want to see Duncan, Parfitt, Constable, Atkins, Clark (and Cockatoo in the future) show that they will transition our midfield into the future.
Mostly I really want to see us beat the Pies to kick off a tough start to this season.

 

[Ratcat]

I don't think Rat will play and I reckon they might use Rohan as a tall forward

I hope not, won't get a touch without a second tall...and!
Hawkins will get double teamed again.

 

[you pick one]

I promise I won't melt when the sides announced Thursday evening.

 

[candiehappy]

I don't think Rat will play

any particular reason why? i see him as starting 22, particularly in the start of the season. Will have to see how his fitness holds up later on.

HF: Ablett - Hawkins - Parfitt
F: Atkins - Ratugolea - Rohan
R: Stanley - Kelly - Dangerfield
I: Henry - Dalhaus - Meirs - Menegola

Bews and 2e would be in if fit.

Without Bews and Tuohy I think there’s a very good chance both O’Connor and Zuthrie play.

Just don’t see the need for Miers and Atkins when we have so many small forward options.

Id rather Meirs and Atkins. ..they play a different role. Atkins is almost certain to play imo. Meirs .. would be the outlier .. good reward him as he was not near selection last year. I think he may struggle to overcome his deficiencies .. but showed a bit in the JLT

 

[candiehappy]

Zuthrie play.

not the start to the season I was hoping for, lets hope for a quantum of improvement

Atkins is almost certain to play imo.

Agree, and think that he is one can cure a deficiency with grunt and application

 

[bulletproof]

Henderson didnt look fully match fit in jlt. They will be reluctant to leave him out, as with no Touhy, we lack quality ball users in back half to bring it out. Henderson is the best kick back there.

I just think he needs more match practice as he looks underdone and he is not the type to play well when not fully fit. Taylor has more class to get himself through.

 

[bulletproof]

If the backline has O’Connor, Zuthrie and the debutante Clark, I am pretty worried about that make up to be honest.

 

[catempire]

For the tray of meats:

B: Stewart Blicavs Henry
HB: Kolo Taylor Guthrie
C: Duncan J Selwood Parfitt
HF: Ablett Hawkins Menegola
F: Rohan Ratugolea Dahlhaus
R: Stanley Kelly Dangerfield
Int: Clark Zuthrie O’Connor Constable
Em: Abbott Atkins Miers

 

[Drunkcat]

Not going to have 3 backman on the bench

 

[Max Milburn]

Not going to have 3 backman on the bench

Yep, if you're talking about CE's team, I would swap Zuthrie with Miers or Atkins.

 

[fpm84]

First weekly CScott press conference recap for the year!

- Ratugolea should be fine
- All but confirmed Clark will debut ("it'd be a brave coaching group not to pick him")
- Talked up Atkins, another likely debut IMO
- Bews is coming along slowly
- S Selwood medium-term hamstring

Lets be honest, if this all happens we probably win the flag.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Surely O'Connor and Clark

 

[Max Milburn]

Surely O'Connor and Clark

Who's Surely?

 

[goyoucatters]

For the tray of meats:

B: Stewart Blicavs Henry
HB: Kolo Taylor Guthrie
C: Duncan J Selwood Parfitt
HF: Ablett Hawkins Menegola
F: Rohan Ratugolea Dahlhaus
R: Stanley Kelly Dangerfield
Int: Clark Zuthrie O’Connor Constable
Em: Abbott Atkins Miers

Atkins will beat one of Zuth or O'Connor into the team for mine. I'm a supporter of both but could see MOC just edging out Zach at this point.

Apart from that, I think you've got the personnel exactly right.

And that team (if it plays close to its actual ability) could certainly win this game.

 

[catempire]

Surely O'Connor and Clark

Already have Clark.

Also gave fair indication that Tuohy won't be far away... I wonder if they give him a game in the magoos to blow out the cobwebs over the next week or 2 though

 

[year of the cat]

I expect:
B: Kolo Blicavs Henderson
HB: Stewart Taylor CGuthrie
C: Duncan Parfitt Kelly
HF: Rohan Hawkins Menegola
F: Dahlhaus Sav Ablett
R: Stanley JSelwood Danger
Int: Clark Constable Henry Atkins/Miers/Zuthrie/MOC

The only senior players out are injured ones. If Miers gets in its against other kids.

That's a friggin horrible back six. My grandmother would be quicker than half of them.

 

[year of the cat]

B: Stewart Blicavs Henry
HB: O'Connor Taylor Clark
C: Duncan J Selwood Parfitt
HF: Ablett Hawkins Menegola
F: Rohan Ratugolea Dahlhaus
R: Stanley Kelly Dangerfield
Int: C.Guthrie Atkins Constable Narkle

 

[Hood007]

I've amended my previous entry for Le Meat Plateau

FB: Stewart - Blicavs - O’Connor
HB: Clark - Taylor - Kolodjashnij
C: Parfitt - Duncan - Kelly
HF: Dahlhaus - Big Sav - Atkins
FF: G Ablett - Hawkins - Rohan
R: Stanley - Dangerfield - J Selwood
I: Henry - Guthrie - Menegola - Constable
E: Narkle - Henderson - Miers - Abbott

I'm actually pretty happy with this side.
Even though I think he still has a lot to offer our club, I think it's fine if Henderson starts the year in the 2's.
It's a long season, he'll be needed and he'll most definitely play.
Same with Narkle.
I'm enthused that Tuohy, Bews, Fogarty & Cockatoo should all play a part this year season, particularly the first 2, more hopeful of the latter 2.
