Autopsy 2022 Round 15 – Collingwood vs GWS Giants, Sunday 26 June, 3:20 PM @ MCG

[Giant Strides]

I can just see the selections being Taranto, Davis, Brander & Briggs. Or even no Briggs.

Would blow my mind.

Leaves Cogs, Taranto, Kelly, Green plus Ward as the on ballers. Feels pretty samey without Bruhn's juice.

 

[fridgeman]

No Briggs is disappointing but obviously not knocking down the door so interesting to see how Keefe goes as lead ruck
Maybe he does get to 100 games

 

[Land of the Giants]

We would seem to be stronger with these inclusions.

Personally I'd be happier keeping Phil injury-free until the derby at the end of July.

 

[Gigantic]

Briggs not being named when fit and healthy with Flynn and Preuss out is probably all that needs to be said. Nail in the coffin. Briggs is most likely leaving at the end of the season.

 

[NonPhixion]

is there a chance Himmelberg goes forward this week ? seems likely with Sproule & Pruess out and Davis back in.

Yes, more likely than not. He'll also likely ruck a bit seeing as Keefe is our ruck this week.

 

[The Phantom]

Himmelberg historically has done well against us up forward.

 

[Giant Strides]

Himmelberg historically has done well against us up forward.

No doubt then we'll play him down back.

 

[Hendo_21]

Bruhn listed in the back pocket??? lmao

Haynes FF

 

[Orange Agent]

Hard to be critical of what McVeigh is willing to try on Matchday as opposed to Leon's same s**t different day approach. Although I'm still not sold on Keefe as a ruck.

 

[sydney_gws]

Haynes FF

2 easy shots at goal missed unfortunately.

 

[Callums_Guns]

Haynes misses, ball goes down the other end and Pies kick a goal and no one touches it on the line

 

[Land of the Giants]

Haynes looks a shadow of his former self. Don't know what's happened there.

 

[Orange Agent]

It's always been the problem with him as a fwd. Our player's need to be onto it a get a handball from him.

 

[dlanod]

I want a highlights reel of multiple Giants taking each other out in a marking contest where one of them was going to take the mark easily.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

it might be nice if we kicked it to our own players rather than straight to collingwood players.

Trying things where things don’t need to be tried today though

If he was a true big to add some size down in the forwards I would be for it but he’s not. We need a big body / and or tall KPF

 

[sydney_gws]

We are playing pretty badly now. They seem harder at the contest than us.

 

[Gigantic]

Kicking it down the throat of every Collingwood player.

I think the idea is a defensive fwd on Moore.
But Crisp/Maynard are probably better targets to try and stop their run.

 

[Orange Agent]

Not even competitive against Collingwood's second string rucks. If Briggs is not fit then you don't name him on the extended bench so therefore where the * is he?

 

[Pres]

Great to see Sidebottom on good terms with himself in the after match interview.

Someone needs to show him his 2019 PF performance on replay lol

 

[Andre the Giant]

Predictable result and had they kicked straight they would have won comfortably. Still we played with some fight and heart so not too bad.

Thought Davis was terrific tonight, might still be a little fight in the old dog yet.

Playing Haynes and Taranto both forward was bizarre. Both are slow and cannot kick.

The club seems determined to play Haynes out of position, he’s been a great player but he’s a defender. I am worried about him, he looks a little battle scarred and unless injured could be cooked.

Only positive is that the results this week have improved our draft pick.
