Preview Changes for Collingwood - Rd 10, 2021

[morell]

Probably, but his linking and disposal inside 50 is already very good and we have to bank on improvement.

Dropping him to the Magpies in favour of Ladhams in that role, or swapping him out entirely for someone like Woodcock, would be an epic self-inflicted wound at this point.

I'm with you. He's not ever going to be that hulking key forward contested marking machine, but he has other attributes that we need to maximise.

The biggest issue is that he drops uncontested marks because of a perception of pressure. To me that's a mixture of confidence and mindset. I reckon he attacks the ball in the air assuming he's going to drop it because he'll get smashed or because he thinks he'll drop it...

I've noticed a few times where he has panicked a bit and looked like he's gone down with a serious injury, but popped up later and been fine, another indication of the above.

He needs good development coaching, a consistent mentor and a bit of a dick tickle. It's all mental for Todd.

 

[LeoMessi]

Mackenzie is an easy in for Clurey.

Not sure if Ladhams can ruck a full game against Grundy, but not sure if 2 rucks and 3 tall forwards are the go. I wouldn’t debut Hayes against Grundy.

If fit, Houston for Fredricks. Bonner/Farrell sub

whatever it is, Marshall needs a spell in the reserves

 

[Hot Port]

Jones will come back for this game. Last week we were saying he would be ready for this game.
If Huston is fit to play too, that’s two good ins.
As to Marshall, so disappointed last night. But the question is, will Ladhams play forward better than Marshall??

 

[jac147]

Marshall is not and never will be a KPF

He may make it in a Westhoff type role

Agreed, he showed a tantalising glimpse of being the Hoff mark 2 in 2019 when the Maggie’s played the Ravens at Port Pirie.

 

[Waspy79]

Out: Mareshall, Farrell

In: Hayes, Jones

 

[Schulzenfest]

Out: Clurey, Ladhams, Farrell
In: McKenzie, Hayes, Houston (Jones if Houston unavailable)

 

[JimmyBC]

I doubt they'll pick Hayes against Grundy, what a shitshow.

 

[PowerBaz]

I doubt they'll pick Hayes against Grundy, what a shitshow.

They should - on the G fit your first game would be inspiring...

Probably a Blight thing to do, spice it up, Ken’s more your meat and three veg.

 

[ozph1870]

Out rozee marshall clurey
In Hayes Mackenzie Houston

 

[bringbackbucky]

Just watched Hinkleys’ presser. The man is delusional. He’s happy with our side and our forward entries. Don’t expect anything other than injury forces changes.

 

[ozph1870]

I was there mate. Nobody else forward of centre was any better.

Mitch was..
he dropped so many marks and looked down on confidence last night... I have him out as I feel we need to play two rucks v Collingwood and the lesser performing taller forward goes out.

 

[Chachi]

I lost count how many times Marshall had the ball slip straight through his hands. Could’ve taken a sh*t load of grabs last night.

I feel pulling him out of the forward 50 will open up space for dixon (at CHF) and Georgie (at FF)

the quadrangle of doom has always ended in doom and even three talls has the KP player confused as to where they should lead and who's turn is it to go

 

[Doctor Feel]

Does it matter?

 

[Capital Power]

Motlop was fine last night and worked very hard. Has had a very good year. Calls for his head are mystifying.

Thank you, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who thought he worked hard across four quarters. Not as impactful as he often is but there's not a lot he did wrong.

 

[Power Raid]

Does it matter?

At the moment no

We don't look like premiership material at the moment but let's be honest, not many teams do. We have a short time to turn this around and we have the crop to do it, subject to injury returns.

As soon as we picked Ladhams (regardless of whether Hayes was the better choice or not), we knew we were going to lose.

We have some serious issues but none that we can't fix. Moving to thowing the ball, rather than handballing, is a must. The doggies won a flag doing this, so we know it works. Moving the ball on fast and down the middle also works.

We just need a coach that adopts what works into the game plan.

 

[backtozero]

We need to play two rucks against Grundy. No ifs or buts.

 

[The Hobo]

Ladhams is a better player and better talent than Marshall and nobody knows it. #PlayHayesAndLadhams

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Is an almost ruck, and an almost forward.

 

[RossFC]

IN: Hayes, Houston, McKenzie, (Jones as sub)
OUT: Marshall, Farrell, Clurey (jaw), (Frederick as sub)

This is it.

If Houston isn't ready, then we play Jones and Freddie stays as the sub.

Was a tough game to come in for as a sub at that point in the game with the tempo. Particularly for a young inexperienced player.

I have also noticed that it would appear his team mates don't trust him yet - he makes plenty of good runs and looks for the one-two etc but isn't getting the return ball.

You honestly think that if we were to mimic the dogs' throwing game, we wouldn't be penalised off the park for it?

It's only illegal if you get caught approach.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

It’ll be Clurey and Farrell for Jones and Mackenzie

 

[NickFlips]

Not entirely convinced by own suggestion here, but Bergman was actually drafted as a forward right? Could we bring Jones or someone in and send IceBerg forward to improve our stocks forward of the ball? At least Miles can take contested marks.

 

[HighBudget]

Mackenzie for Clurey and Houston for Frederick. I’d like to see this Hayes guy though. If Jones is back then put him in for Farrell
