Last week pies had 1 best 23 player missing on the injury list
D. McStay and 2 youngsters in Eyre and Steen who aren’t in the conversation, reserves team were stacked with list players…

Last week we had missing
Motlop Cerra Fogarty McGovern Fantasia Martin Marchbank Cuningham Saad along with 1st year youngster M.Carroll as well as Silvagni and Docherty out for the year…

Just for a bit of perspective and clarity…

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Ins: Cincotta, Cerra, Fantasia
Outs: Binns, Hollands, Owies

Carroll/Cincotta to sub. Cottrell moves up to take Ollie's spot on the wing, Fantasia/Elijah taking the high half forward role.

5 man forward line rotating Harry, Charlie, Elijah, TDK, Durdin, Fantasia, Crippa, MK.

I’d be very surprised if we lost this week.Last weeks grilling was next level.

We're playing a weak Collingwood side. It shouldn't be about whether we win or not, it should be about how much. I'm tipping we blow them away in nearly all stats. Contested ball, stoppages should be massive wins to us.

That means nothing if we don't stop them scoring and score ourselves. Like what happened in the Geelong game, we leaked goal. Our defence is pretty down at the moment. A few defenders out of form and a few really good ones out.

We will play three tall forwards again. So I think we are going to be marking it. But they are three talls so will we be rebounded against? Rebound is a strength of Collingwood so this aspect worries me. We need to mark it and kick straight. Our smalls need to work really hard.

I would not mind us having a tactical sub ready so we can turn to a smaller forward line if the three tall system is not working and we are leaking on the rebound.

I think we will be too good around the ball. Our talls at each end should do well and we will be too good. 5 goal win.

My Collingwood mate tried to pull the DeGoey / Mitchell outs on me and then I mentioned all the best 23 that we had missing.

Still haven't heard back from him...

Checkmate

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

These matches are always tough so I’m hopeful rather than cocky.

 

[ESKIE]

Four players dropped according to Sen
Kemp and Ollie are two

You clearly haven't had enough stubbies yet mate

Ollie I get, but Kemp??

 

[Worm4]

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.

We smashed Geelong at clearances last week didn't turn out too well for us. It's stopping the goals from turnovers where the game will be won and lost

 

[JJBagger]

Ollie I get, but Kemp??

Probably don’t need the 3 talls

 

[carlton_99]

Ollie I get, but Kemp??

I guess he doesn't really have a matchup with Weitering on Mihocek and Young taking the resting ruck. But in all fairness I'd probably take an undersized Kemp over Young atm

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Ollie I get, but Kemp??

Was nowhere near Danger most of the time….

 

[Soapy V]

First time I’m expecting a few changes. Although Kemp wouldn’t be one of them

If it wasn't for the two ruck setup kind of demanding TDK be our third tall, I would have put Kemp forward to do the JSOS type roll.

 

[Arr0w]

Brutal but i like it, it will set the tone for future games, win or lose this week

 

[Blue4Life]

Thought kemp would be perfect for Elliot?

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Four players dropped according to Sen

Hopefully not Kenp ffs!

 

[BIuebagger]

Cinc, Orazio, Cuners and Cez in
Kemp, Ollie, Binns and Bot out

 

[reg_lower91]

I tell ya what.... I bloody love Voss.
When is the last time we had a coach hold our players to account both publicly and then followed it up at team selection.

Very much a ruthless "no passengers" approach.

Bloody love it.
Been a very long time since we've been in a position like this.

 

[ESKIE]

In: A.Cincotta, D.Cuningham, O.Fantasia, A.Cerra
Out: B.Kemp (omitted), O.Hollands (omitted), J.Binns (omitted), J.Carroll (omitted)

 

[T2B_]

Other than being a bit iffy on Kemp's omission, I like it. Go Cinc!

 

[Arr0w]

Durdin lucky
