Changes for Richm'd (see team in OP, Aish & Broomy in, Varcoe out, Cox omit, & Daicos an emergency!)

[Didstar]

Any chance Elliot is fit. Need him in ASAP

 

[mattys123]

Aish in.
Blair out.

No need for mass changes.

We will beat Richmond with that side.

 

[10571z]

Elliot comes in there is no doubt in my mind. Absolutely no way he plays VFL

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Schade is just another Jack Frost, no talent.

Out: Varcoe (suspended), Blair (forever hopefully), Cox, Crisp (just didn't look like he was committed)
In: Elliott, Keefe, Aish, Daicos

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Out : Blair, Varcoe (Susp)
In : Aish, Elliott

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Lack of skill/class seemed to cost us. Aish and Elliott would be good ins uf available. Blair, Mayne and Crusp in the gun.

Ramsey and Smith also in borrowed time if we can ever get players like Scharenberg fit.

If Blair is in the seniors next week I'm emailing the club for a please explain

Dear Soaring Magpie,

The Club thanks you for your recent enquiry.

We have considered your query and advise the Collingwood match committee take into regard many factors in coming up to their decision of selected players.

The reasons are varied and complex.

We thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to side by side.

On a separate matter:

We also ask you to consider a player sponsorship of Mr J Blair. At only $2,600 you have the chance to get to better know this Collingwood fan favourite. A premiership player he is one of Collingwoods greatest recent heroes and much loved players.

Grab this unique opportunity, you too can sit next to Jarryd in various club functions. We are certain you will love him even more. We must warn you Jarryd is one of our most sought after players, call us now before he is snapped up by his many fans.

Really, just how was Reid so bad??
Seriously mate, watch the bloody game and stop posting shit

Probably the worst game I've seen Reid play since his debut. Looked low on confidence, fell over when he needed to stand up, went to spoil when he should of marked, kicked poorly.

 

[daicosdemis]

I will seriously lose my shit if Blair keeps his place in the team next week.

How many times have we said this ?

 

[Hagla]

Dunn in, Cox out, Reid fwd again (I know it's been tried before but we really need another quality KPP up fwd this year and I still reckon it can work, unless they think it'll get him injured)

 

[Schraderbrau]

Out: Blair, Cox, Varcoe, Goldsack
In : Aish, Elliot, Broomhead, Schaz

We need speed and skill.

Cox was great as a second ruck tonight, but he wasn't up against much and is still a liability up forward.

Cox was better than Moore as a forward tonight (at least he looked like taking a mark) + his ruck work was great. I'd drop Moore for next match if we are going to make a chance, he was awful. Still I'd prefer to see what both of them can do with better entries. The problem tonight was the forward entry as much as the forwards - both were not good enough.

Edit: Schade is a bit unlucky, I'd just like to see Dunn given a chance. But if Schade stays that's ok

Moore was ****ing inept after a bad preseason. Not only did nothing but any time he did touch the ball it was beneficial to the opposition. Worst on ground.

Has to get his head out of his ass and be dropped to earn his spot.

Agreed with this, needs to be dropped until he finds some form. At least Cox had a couple of positive moves and helped out with the ruck duties. Moore is just a nothing player atm.

 

[The_Anvil]

Wow not to sound like a broken record but that is legit the worst game I've ever seen Blair play. The crowd was absolutely filthy with him.

Let's get real. I can actually see why Bucks wants to play him. At his best he is a very decent defensive forward who in a pinch can get the hard ball in a scrap. But **** me - at what point do you say enough is enough? Right now.

The Richmond defense let this year's wooden spooners, Carlscum, kick 90 points on them.. so l think Mayne should be more than enough as a defensive forward next week.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Out: Moore, Blair, Cox
In: Dunn, Aish, Elliot (If fit)

I think with Mayne, White, Reid up forward we're not lacking any height. Especially when Fasolo, Elliot, Hoskin Elliot are all great in the air. The biggest problem still is sustained pressure on the rebound - going smaller is a much better strategy against Richmond's defence.

If we can't win this one by 50+ we may as well forfeit all games until we play the blues in round 7

In many ways you are correct.
Though not our worst, second worst Maybe?

He'll get there, but a little acid might be needed.

For a guy that short.... on talent.... he needs scoreboard pressure.
Goes well under a goal a game.
Efficiency career wise is 60% or so.
Does tackle, but how many really stick or hurt.

If he was an out and out VFL player like his brother, you'd think, an honest toiler... but nothing special.

I'd play Sier before him (ok that's part in jest but part in serious point making; I'd play Kirby easily over him)
And Daicos or Brown, ahead of him.

And miss all the classic melts?
Nah couldn't miss that

 

[THATSGOLD]

in, Elliott, Broomhead, Aish
Out, Varcoe - Susp, Crisp Omitted, Blair - Delisted

Crisp? Yeh good one. He was one of our bests.

 

[Maggie5]

Dunn in, Cox out, Reid fwd again (I know it's been tried before but we really need another quality KPP up fwd this year and I still reckon it can work, unless they think it'll get him injured)

I really like that. Reid forward and Dunn back.
White can ruck.

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

OUT: Garden Gnome (Blair), Varcoe, American Ex-Pie (Cox), Phillips

IN: Dunn, Elliot, Daicos, Aish

 

[slugger01]

Only one change for next week:
Aish to come in for Varcoe (suspended).


The only way Blair will be dropped is if it is a "job lot".... ie. our coach also gets dropped between now and next Friday!!!
