[SkyhorseTamer]

Williams has a great tank. One of our best runners

Trust you on this. It's surprising to read though. Why do his opponents run off him so easily then? Does he ball watch/ get lost or is he trying to cheat forward too ofteb

I reckon ball watch gets him in trouble. Desperately need him away from the goal square/danger spots at all times, but obviously not much choice at the moment

Cincotta Boyd Newman Cerra Cowan or Wilson supporting Weitering Kemp Young/Durdin. We have options

 

[skadoosh]

It's a disappointing trend with sportsmen (same in every code). Constant need to have brutal reviews because non negotiable and basics start falling out of the game.

I get what you're saying, however not everyone is of the same mold as a Cripps or Walsh.
But also, I am a mid 30s guy with a bad back and make a groaning noise every time I get out of a chair.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

That's premiership players Maynard and Daicos to you.

Is there nothing more pathetic than going on an opposition game day thread ?

 

[Opium]

If anyone has a spare ticket or can't attend please PM me.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

I think the "brutal" reviews are brought out once or twice a year at most, otherwise they would lose their impact.
It seemed like it was needed after last week and hopefully we get the response.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Would be surprised if Durdin is dropped on the same day they announce his 2-year extension.

He’ll play tomorrow.

 

[Cobba268]

Cincotta for Cowan
Cerra for Ollie
Cunningham for Caroll
Fantasia (sub) for Durdin
Give Binns a go in the best 22

 

[jj1978]

Article on AFL.com about Cincotta... get a feels he'll be in.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Seems like it could be this.
Ollie replaced by Cerra.
Cow replaced by Cinc.
Owies replaced by Cuners.
Carroll replaced by Fanta.
Cuners or Fanta to be sub, my preference would be O.F.

 

[Magruder]

Trust you on this. It's surprising to read though. Why do his opponents run off him so easily then? Does he ball watch/ get lost or is he trying to cheat forward too ofteb

Form and touch issue imo.

Split second hesitation rolling up to the contest or covering his opponent/ space.
Sometimes just loses his bearings. Makes some poor decisions

Form is fickle though can return quick

 

[Sam The Doc]

Well there you go - 2 year extension to Durdin. Surely wont be dropped this week!
Owies has to be a certain out.

 

[Graffy4242]

I can smell massive levels of fear amongst the Pies supporters by their intrusion into this thread.

And it smells DELICIOUS !!!!!!!

 

[ArseClown]

No, but you will have at 10:35 pm on Friday night.

Bookmarked

 

[reg_lower91]

In: Cerra
Out: Binns
Carroll sub

We really should smash them at the clearances tomorrow night without Mitchell and De Goey.

Get it forwards of centre quickly and don't allow them to push back in numbers.

We simply should win.

Blues by 5 goals.

 

[DEliades]

Cowan stays in IMO. Vossy spoke about him in his presser.

 

[The_Wookie]

[Soapy V]

Cowan stays in IMO. Vossy spoke about him in his presser.

So he should. I would just like to see Cowan and Cincotta play like they do at VFL level where they both run, take the game on and can kick it well. So far they seem way to concerned with the defensive side

 

[fishncripps]

considering Vossy wasn't very happy with our defensive efforts last week it would seem likely they will look to defend first, although the whole team defence I would imagine also needs to lift. Guess they'll need to pick and choose when to go.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Young for cincotta ?

 

[JJBagger]

Young for cincotta ?

Was thinking that could be an option. They might give Kemp one of the two talls, and have Cowan as the interceptor

 

[Soapy V]

Cowan is about as tall as McGovern. He could easily play third tall if needed. Hoskin-Elliott may be a good match up?

 

[JJBagger]

Cowan has played that role to pretty good effect in the VFL, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was doing it in this game

 

[Just Kreuzing]

So he should. I would just like to see Cowan and Cincotta play like they do at VFL level where they both run, take the game on and can kick it well. So far they seem way to concerned with the defensive side

Cowan made some howling mistakes by being rushed, needs more time to get used to the tempo of pressured games like last week.
