Preview Round 2 2019: Richmond v Collingwood at MCG 7.25pm 28th March

[AlorraVex]

So Cripps has the 3 Brownlow votes, which other Carlton players will take the 2 and 1?

Damn, beat me to it!

 

[tigs2010]

Yep fair enough. Will concede that.
We need Tigger filling the gaps and taking intercept marks so Broad it might have to be.

Yep would go Broad to Elliott

yes I have been told that by many posters.
Happy to concede on that one.

Had my thoughts laid out in succinct paragraphs but a picture is worth 1000 words.

Baker's delight should come in, I'm not a fan of George because of his kicking, if he can get that right then he comes back in.

I’m a Baker boy fan...
I’m also a Ross fan

Watch Cripps get 3 Brownlow votes.

Cotchin was clearly best on ground on Thursday but you’re both right unfortunately Cripps will get the 3 votes.

Cotch may be lucky to get the 2.

Maybe no Houli this weekend?

Channel 7 spoke to him as he was getting hamstring scans, but they didn't go any further than that so we didn't get confirmation if it was tightness or an injury.

 

[kozi]

Even without Rance I think we match up pretty well against them.

Cox - Astbury
Mihocek - Broad
De Goey - Grimes
Elliott - Vlaustin

Markov averaged 1 tackle per game in 2017 when he last played. Vlas and Grimes are 3-4 per game. Houli as the outside runner- 2. So I am not sure how he will nullify Collingwood's quick attack. Like Ellis, he is a runner who can provide breaking the line attacks, but shutting down forwards with tackling pressure is not his strength.

I am way more comfortable with Markov to a wing, Kmac to defence

I thought I was agreeing with you lmao

I noticed he pulled up and grabbed his hammy in the 3rd.

Nooooooo he was hitting some good form!

I can actually smell a loss this week.

It'll take us a little while to adjust without Rance. Also Jack and Lynchy still have to learn to blend together and get back into form themselves.

Collingwood are coming off a disappointing loss and will want to make a statement that last years GF appearance wasn't a one hit wonder. They will come out guns blazing like they did in the prelim, watch.

I don't think it'll play out like the prelim however, it'll be a tight game. I have a feeling we will fall short by 5-6 points.

With all due respect, I really really hope you’re wrong.

I can probably handle losing to anyone, except bloody Collingwood!

 

[parmy2balmey]

doesn’t sound like garth will get up for this one. i think macca goes back and someone comes in to play wing. and we all know who that will be unfortunately

flossy for the record will play alex’s role, intercept and create, he will be a general down there like luke hodge

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Ellis should come in for Houli.

Put Balta down back. He is a Rance look a like after all

 

[parmy2balmey]

could push short up to the wing and bring in stack to play hbf then ellis can stay in the vfl

 

[THE_GUN]

I dont believe Collingwoods fowards create a massive challenge and the coaches will select a team that suits 'our' game style and that will be a team that has alot of run and carry. Let the pies worry about how they intend to stop richmond on the mcg where they have just lost a round 1 game to a team thats not suited to playing there.

Select the best team that suits our style
