How different is Collingwood’s team this year to the one we almost beat last year?
We don't know until this week's injury list is announced.

They could be down Moore and Schultz, but they didn't have Pendlebury and Mihocek last time I think.

Obviously Houston's a big in for them too.

Think Jy missed for us?

Beyond Houston and the other trade-ins, I want to say off the top of my head that they didn't have Elliot, Pendlebury or Mihocek
 
That’s what happens so - annoying as it is - they’re not wrong.

Bit of underrating Membrey in the discussion of defensive options.
Regarding Membrey, yes he's a good player and requires some planning and a suitable matchup no doubt. But he is one of many weapons they have. Elliot being nearly the biggest of them. We need to be absolutely dominant all over the ground for 4 quarters to be any chance

Not final teams but guessing…

For them - out Kreuger, Harrison, McInnes, Dean, Noble, Macrae, Jiath, possibly Moore, Shultz - in Pendlebury, Houston, Membrey, Long, Elliot, Allen,Perryman, Mihocek, maybe Cox. Plus in Pendlebury and Sidebottom playing well.

For us - out Fisher, Taylor, Tucker, Shiels, Ford, Teakle, Phillips, Archer, Dawson, Stephenson, maybe Scott - in Simpkin, Darling, Parker, Daniel, Stephens, Comben, Hardeman, Maley, Konstanty, Duursma.

I think on paper we are a better than we were but the changes in their team are more substantial, especially if Moore and/orSchulz play. Allen really the only meh player of their ins and they have shed some ordinary players.
 
that's where I am leaning if PC is not 100%

wilphil in for scott

move powell to scotts wing

and then any of fisher, ford or cooper could be sub
mate that wing role requires 90% time on ground, and usually makes top 5 for high sprints and distance covered for the game.

lol that's not Powell

Oh dear. We’re gonna get killed.

I don't see Dawson coming in, most especially not as a true KPD.
I've said it before but I wouldn't be against Dawson coming in and playing forward. I wouldn't know what changes that would make to the forward line set up, but it would produce another mobile tall who can kick goals. As you mentioned, there's no point playing him as a Key defender

That might be interesting, he certainly attacks the ball at speed... Wouldn't say I'd like to see him coming in and playing forward as such, wouldn't be against him playing forward in VFL though to test it. Suspect he would just be too tweener at AFL level for that but who knows?

If Larket goes down, he would be the next up.
 
Bailey out, he looked lost out there last week. Duurs out, PC in if fit and Elvis to get his chance. Please not Fisher but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s named.

How many more years of Corr do we have left? He actually started out ok last week before he went back to normal programming.
 
Speaking of "divine right" - when they chose to go after Houston, the comment from Leppitch on day 1 was we are confident, despite some other clubs still feeling like they were offering more to Port. Collingwood really do think if they want someone and have made salary cap room it's a done deal. The other clubs don't matter.
Yeah. And look how that turned out for them! We showed them.
