[Doc1763]

Looks like it'll be

OUT: Hoskin-Elliott (inj), Cameron (inj), Bianco (omitted)
IN: Sidebottom, McStay, Maynard

Sub remains to be seen. I'd have Adams for this week.

B: Brayden Maynard - Darcy Moore - Nathan Murphy
HB: Isaac Quaynor - Jeremy Howe - Jack Crisp
C: Josh Daicos - Tom Mitchell - Steele Sidebottom
R: Billy Frampton - Jordan De Goey - Nick Daicos
HF: Patrick Lipinski - Dan McStay - Bobby Hill
F: Jamie Elliott - Mason Cox - Ash Johnson
I: Scott Pendlebury - Oleg Markov - John Noble - Beau McCreery
Sub: Taylor Adams

Good side. Now, squeeze in Checkers & Cameron!!!

 

[Chameleon75]

They'll go well in the ruck. The issue is Frampton's forward work and whether he gets to any contests. He might be better this week with McStay there to instruct him.

I suspect we’ll see more of frampton in the ruck with cox continuing his relieving tall role , at least that’s how it went the last time we had the two with Cameron missing

That actually looks like a really, really strong side barring Checkers' absence.


Pretty much our best 23 once you slot him and Cameron back in imo.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I suspect we’ll see more of frampton in the ruck with cox continuing his relieving tall role , at least that’s how it went the last time we had the two with Cameron missing

Inclined to agree. Frampton playing a lot of ruck and swapping with Cox forward, while Moore/Murphy/Howe can continue as they have been the last few weeks.

 

[Vankri]

I hope and think it will be Frampton rucking 75% of the time and Cox relief ruck. And McStay max a couple of F50 ruck contest but would be happy with zero and focusing on his forward role in anticipation to working that out with Checkers when he’s back.

 

[Finnishpie]

Cameron can play a full game as the first ruck, Cox cannot.

Look out. Cox is about to play a full game in the ruck! Omg, but he can't !!!!!!

 

[Gabbo64]

Why?

Why what??????

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

This is why I’m still not sold on McStay. We were absolutely flying in the first few rounds. Goals were flowing freely. But was it because of McStay’s contribution to our structure?

Guess we’ll know soon enough. And no one will be happier than me if it turns out that Big Dan was the key.

Although McStay doesn't have Checkers there this week, so it's not really a fair comparison to the first 2 rounds.

 

[Chameleon75]

I hope Cameron’s injury isn’t bad, before he injured his knee, he was in good form. His been a bit sluggish on return, but in the last two weeks he seems to be building back into form.

 

[No SPIN]

Why?

Why do you think it’s valid to make such an emphatic call on such a small sample size of games.

 

[Jen2310]

I hope Cameron’s injury isn’t bad, before he injured his knee, he was in good form. His been a bit sluggish on return, but in the last two weeks he seems to be building back into form.

Think stiff back, hopefully a couple day off and he'll be better next week.

 

[stormskye]

Big Pie out of Dockers clash, livewire misses training

Collingwood will be without a key tall ahead of its game against Fremantle on Saturday

www.afl.com.au

 

[Bianconeri]

Look out. Cox is about to play a full game in the ruck! Omg, but he can't !!!!!!

More chance Frampton’s the first ruck

 

[manicpie]

Hill is a bit of doubt also.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

Did Elliott train early in the week, I remember he looked like he hurt himself late in the other game, hope he is ok

 

[stormskye]

Hill is a bit of doubt also.

 

[Jen2310]

Hill is a bit of doubt also.

He should be okay, but hurt his knee in a contest. They did the ACL check, and seems to be in tact. Maybe some bone brusing at worst.

 

[manicpie]

View attachment 1737079

Apparently got his legs caught tangled up in a pack and went off. Came back on for 5 minutes and then went off again

 

[stormskye]

He should be okay, but hurt his knee in a contest. They did the ACL check, and seems to be in tact. Maybe some bone brusing at worst.

That doesn’t sound like he’s playing then. On form HH would come in if he does miss

 

[Jen2310]

That doesn’t sound like he’s playing then. On form HH would come in if he does miss

We'll see tonight. They may think it was just a knock and nothing too bad and with a couple days left, he'll be right. I was a tad concerned when he was on the ground, then getting tested. But time will tell.

Sub: Taylor Adams

There's absolutely zero chance Adams is the sub, but otherwise I think this is spot on and extremely arousing. Checkers for Frampton/AJ and it's probably our absolute best 22. Probably the best 22 we've fronted since 2010/2011

It’s not our best 22 if Frampton isn’t in it

I’ll post it again so I can refer back when it happens, but if we make it to Grand Final day and Frampton isn’t playing (down back) then we won’t be winning the Grand Final.

Only exception being if Melbourne is the team we’re playing.

Those at the club seem to disagree
