So Schultz and Sidebottom confirmed outs, Moore and Houston still to be assessed.

Then you’ve got JDG and McStay as more long terms outs too.


Could be a real contest this.
I think Houston and Moore are genuinely 50-50 and may not be risked.

Daicos is the other. He’s not 100% but Pies have had no issues taking care of Freo and a strong crows outfit.

System over personnel. Similar lesson the doggies taught us in round 1

There comes a tipping point in every team if too many best 23 are missing, then no amount of system or structure will ensure a win.

This is true however a midfield of Cameron,
Daicos, Daicos, Crisp, Pendlebury, Long is more than good enough to go against Xerri, LDU, Wardlaw, Parker, Sheezel.

When Crisp is asked to go in the middle these days he turns into prime Chris Judd.

Our contest work against Brisbane was great.
It wasn’t against Richmond and Clarko said as much.

I expect a professional performance from our boys, with Curtis back and this week presents the best opportunity to knock your mob off for the first time in a while. Also to make up for last year.

First trip to Marvel for the Pies since our game last year as well.
It’s the way Collingwood set up behind the ball that will probably be our undoing.
Especially if Moore and Houston are named.
 
Charlie West and Harry DeMattia WILL make their debut for the pies this week
I like DeMattia, pick 25 in the 2023 AFL Draft, the boy with the flowing curly hair, had injuries but has forced his way into the team, rugged midfielder who is a good footballer, will be interesting to see how he goes. From our perspective I don't think there will be many changes, maybe two. IN: Paul Curtis, Eddie Ford. OUT: Bailey Scott, Zane Duursma.

I was initially going to go Finnbar instead of Zane but I have a sneaking suspicion the "Moose" will get a few more games, did some impressive things on Sunday and the key factor in play here is confidence. Zane is a gun and would love him to play but there is no rush with Zane, but looking at our team balance one of the two will make way. :smilev1:

Yes, but we are a different team than the opening round, some people on here giving us no hope, top of the ladder, so?
Also some saying after what happened last year we can't win, sport is a funny game, if you believe that, then you wont win.

I generally believe this time we will finish the job and there will be no trade mark comeback and no need for the umpires to make/or not call a decision, I believe we can and will win this game and if we succeed, I'll tell one or two very interesting things about our game and my insights that I'll share, that I think might shock a few people. :smilev1:

On the question who might play on "Nick Daicos", the answer is the "Warlord", and he's going to go up to him before the match with four little words...........

We didn’t play well and still got the chocolates last week.
What did Clarko say to Parker after the game? Good teams win ugly. That’s how I’m seeing that result.
So bring the intensity that we brought against Brisbane and you never know.

Collingwood are one Jack Crisp set shot away from 9 straight wins, so this is as much as setting expectations as much as anything.

They are top of the ladder for a reason and their outs mean it’s going to be a good contest.

Stop being s*** North.

No more s*** performances around the bye because you're a pack of lazy sods.

Play the game and get better stop making excuses.
If anything performance should be better around the bye as we know we can empty the tank with a longer rest

Yet somehow they have not been our strong suit and the minds wander to what mid season break plans they have
