Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Adelaide, AO Sat 05/06 @ 4:35pm

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I really dont understand why Wilson was selected or what position he was supposed to be playing.

Hopefully Grundy is fine or at least only needs a week or two off. If hes unavailable then bring in Keane and give the second ruck position to Roughead...assuming Cox also still injured.

Only at Collingwood would your best ruck and your best ruck/forward both be out with freak neck/throat injuries at the same time

In Adams McCreery Elliott
Out Brown Wilson Madgen

Tom Wilson is so forgettable people even forget to put him in the outs

So true! People just gravitate to slamming brown. Who at least puts his head over the ball and tries to make things happen.

Out:Madgen, Wilson, Grundy

in: Keane, Lynch, Tyler

That's the problem with Brown. When he tries to make things happen shit hits the fan! Never seen a more inept player get so many games

Luke Godden charging out of the back pocket like a raging bull and shinning it to an opposition player? Jason Wild in his oversized long sleeved jumper. Frankie Raso!
I think your memory is playing tricks. Here are some of our results from our wooden spoon year.

North-eventual premiers beat us North 16.17 to Pies 15. 10 two weeks before the finals began.
Port beat us by a point. Port 12. 16 to Coll:13.9
Melbourne beat us by 11 points Melb: 13. 11 to Pies 11. 12
Adelaide beat us by 5 points: Adelaide: 14.15 to Pies: 14.10
Essendon beats us by 8 points: Essendon: 15.18 to Pies: 15.10
Geelong beat us by 3 points: Geelong 19.14 to Pies 19:11

I watched most of these games live and they were far more enjoyable than the rubbish we are serving up now.

Look at those scores. Goals!

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

In: Adams, Elliott, McCreery, Cox, Macrae (if Adams, Elliott or McCreery don't get up, otherwise sub)
Out: Grundy, Madgen, Brown, Wilson

With Cox as second ruck, I am content for Cameron to show what he can do as first ruck.

 

[GreekLunatic]

So we tried magden back didn’t work tried him as a winger didn’t work now as a foward absolutely did nothing so why he is still there

 

[Ugene41]

Out: Grundy (Inj), C Brown, Madgen, Wilson
In: Cox/Kelly, Elliott, McCreery, Keane

Wilson has had a good 3 match run to get a taste of senior football. Showed some signs and now knows he needs to work on his aerial impact in the VFL. It's exactly what this season needs to be about, giving kids a taste of senior football and development. Keane takes his spot to continue his development.

If C Brown and Madgen remain in the side then the coaching staff have truly lost it.

 

[Ugene41]

So we tried magden back didn’t work tried him as a winger didn’t work now as a foward absolutely did nothing so why he is still there

If only we gave someone like Scharenberg those opportunities... Why didn't he get the chance to play wing/forward. Instead we've wasted 30 games on 28 year old Madgen who should be delisted this year. And if Scharenberg was truly shot, we should have given those games to Murphy. Imagine a 30+ game Murphy now.

You can't blame our recruiters when our coaches continually stifle the development of our talented players and gift opportunities to plodders. Same thing is happening with Sier. Imagine a 50 game Sier now instead of the 23 games we wasted on Wills. Or even just playing him when we had a glaring hole in the midfield this year whilst missing Adams.

 

[magpies42]

That's the problem with Brown. When he tries to make things happen sh*t hits the fan! Never seen a more inept player get so many games

Who would you play ahead of him?

 

[Ugene41]

Who would you play ahead of him?

I'd prefer Henry to be completely ineffective in our forwardline than Cal Brown to be completely ineffective in our forwardline. At least with Henry, once he has more experience and gets used to the pace of AFL, he has some weapons to be dangerous up forward. Cal Brown has no weapons and players actively avoid passing him the ball.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Who would you play ahead of him?

Elliott McCreery Henry Ruscoe Thomas Sidebottom T Brown or Stengle

 

[stormskye]

Who would you play ahead of him?

Crocker, Broomhead, Appleby, Stevo, atu Not joking btw

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Crows don't need to stay in Sydney. No travel restrictions to and from Adelaide from NSW. They'll fly home after their Richmond game today.

True, but they'll be venturing back to Sydney to play us, you would think

 

[McOrist]

True, but they'll be venturing back to Sydney to play us, you would think

Yep, most likely.
That would be a small gain in our favour, not having to play them in Adelaide.

 

[pjcrows]

Ch 9 saying the Crows Pies game will be at AO.

 

[LuckyLee]

OUT: C. Brown - J. Madgen - T. Wilson - Grundy (? unsure of his status)
IN: J. Elliott - T. Adams - B. McCreery - Cox (if Grundy doesn't get up)

FB: Mayne - Roughead - Maynard
HB: Quaynor - Moore - Crisp
C: Poulter - Daicos - Pendlebury
HF: Elliott - Cameron - Mihocek
FF: McCreery - De Goey - Sidebottom
FOLL: Grundy / Cox - Sier - Adams
INT: Bianco - Noble - Hoskin-Elliott - Murphy
EMG: Wilson

That would be the best (and most dynamic) team we’ve fielded in a hell of a long time.

They have no clue. No way any decision can be made yet

 

[magpiemaniac44]

With Cox as second ruck, I am content for Cameron to show what he can do as first ruck.

I've been impressed with Cameron as the key forward, but with Grundy out, I think Cameron is the next best ruckman on our list, so I'd play him there maybe 70%.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

With Sydney's game likely to be at the SCG, I assume we'll either play at AO if we're allowed in otherwise Giants Stadium.

[stormskye]

Great news. Week off, 0 reason to play him

 

[pablo disco bar]

Shame Lynch been injured as well as Cox


Good chance to play them otherwise

 

[stormskye]

If Cox and Grundy both unavailable, play Keane/Kelly and have roughy help Ruck.

 

[Magnanimous]

Great news with Brodie cleared of major injury, think he will still be out for a few.

Do we bring in Cox or Lynch to cover?
