Game Day AFL Round 18 - Collingwood@GWS (GIANTS Stadium – 4:35PM)

[nahnah]

I'm a fan of Toby Green when he's not playing us but I'm surprised that they've named him as skipper

Slap in the face to Coniglio... oh wait.. slap in the face to Josh Kelly... oh wait.. last man standing maybe?

Yea I think so they have been hit hard by injuries as we have

 

[unplugged]

Agree if we can't beat GWS this week we should never beat them again, ever. They're ripe for the picking.

 

[ThePhantom777]

We can't go in thinking their injuries will win it for us. We need to do the work.

 

[Stoods]

differences in teams the last game we played them which was the semi final last year.

Collingwood:

OUT: Langdon, Thomas, Greenwood, Stephenson, Goldsack
IN: Quaynor, Appleby, Brown, Roughead, Crocker

GWS:

OUT: Coniglio, Lobb, Shiel, Ward, Kennedy, Davis, Langdon, De Boer, Griffen, Buntine

IN: Taylor, Shaw, Daniels, Lloyd, Finlayson, Stein, Hill, Mumford, Simpson, Perryman

Obviously a couple decent outs for us but clearly they are much more effected. Some big names on that list, Coniglio killed us in the semi final with 30 touches and 2 goals. Realistically we should win this game if we turn up switched on. GWS will have the mentality we had last week against west coast though, so we have to be careful.

 

[left at home]

Losing Davis is a big out, hopefully keeffe is not up to the job

 

[legendstatus]

That’s sad, so looking forward to his little bumps and pushes when a player isn’t looking!

You know that place is out of whack when he’s captain. s**t bloke.

I'd love him in our side!

Not for me.

Agree, Davis is a huge out but I reckon Keeffe is a great matchup for Cox. This is his 1st game back from a hand injury though unless I'm mistaken.

Agree about keeffe, that why l said hopefully.

Give me a break-we are missing plenty of quality too! Anyway, we've already beaten them at full strength on their home patch on more than one occasion.

 

[frizzle]

Davis out is a blow for them. Lets see if Cox can take advantage of it.
My guess is he won’t.

Why is he a ship bloke

 

[Kappa]

Their entire 1st choice midfield is out injured and their ruckmen are weeks away from retiring. If our mids dont win the midfield battle they can walk home, no matter how much they are paid.

 

[Bad Horse]

Something to do with flogging? Very Hornblower indeed.

Straight facts

 

[toxic]

With Flynn and Shocker on the bench I'm nervous
Feel like we're going in with 21.

Hopefully Crisp tags Taranto and Mayne tags ZWilliams

 

[frizzle]

Probably our weakest forward line & our weakest backline selected for some time.
Midfield is strong though.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Looks a beautiful day for footy in Sydney!!

 

[sirlothie]

4.35pm is such a nothing time slot. What am I meant to do all day?

Still not sure why Appleby is in the side ahead of Scharenberg. They must have a specific run with role in line for Appleby today.

 

[Scodog10]

GWS
Forwards >190: Dawson, Mumford, Finlayson, Cameron, Himmleberg, Tomlinson, (possibly) Stein
Forwards high 180s: Reid, Lloyd

COLL
Backs >190: Roughhead, Howe, Crisp
Backs high 180s: Appleby, Maynard

I slightly concerned Finlayson and Himmleberg being third talls could tear us apart using hight

They’re tall all over the ground with 7 guys 195cm plus. It’s a really interesting strategy against us and a bit of a gamble. My gut feel is that whichever midfield gets on top will have the edge because of it.

Watch the 2010 GF replay with a couple of frothies.
