Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 4 vs. GWS, MCG Sat 10/04 @ 7:25pm

[Jen2310]

One good change they’ve made this year is transparency.
Open when discussing our injuries and now selection

No Walshy and Ed around. Makes you wonder..

 

[LuckyLee]

So if McCreery is coming into the 22, who is going out?

Surely it’s Cal Brown? Or WHE?

If it’s Sier based on Pendles reportedly giving him a spray late in the game then we really are clueless.

Maybe Cal, given he was in white. Maybe he'll be the sub.

Yes, maybe.

But I really can’t see the point of making Cal the sub, given his limitations. We need someone versatile - a utility type with good wheels. In the past Someone like Goldsack would have been ideal. I would have said Murphy but he got concussed in the VFL prac match, didn’t he? Maybe Wilson? Or Poulter?

Besides, Cal needs VFL matches under his belt to work on his deficiencies. Sitting on the AFL side’s bench as injury sub ain’t gonna help him.

Yeah Murphy has concussion.

Wilson is an option. But no Poulter haha. He has skills but way too raw and skinny right now.

Sure was. Madgen too. But there is always a couple ones in white that will play. As match sim is 18 v 18.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hopefully Macrae cam also Debut

 

[TradeDraft]

I got a Bad Feeling about this Game.

Though my Dad think we will Flog GWS

I doubt they'd announce one and not the other. Possibly a sub I suppose.

Relax and watch the US Masters

 

[Wagee]

Just play 'em

"For Collingwood and Nathan Buckley, the moment has arrived when the Magpies, too, must aggressively promote youth. It should begin this weekend when they face the depleted Giants and continue into their games against West Coast, Essendon (Anzac Day), Gold Coast and North Melbourne."

Time for Buckley’s Magpies to play the kids

The moment has arrived for Collingwood to aggressively promote youth. This year’s priority must be to position the club for another tilt at a flag.

Theirs been a couple of articles written this week and the names WHE and JT Have been dropped, for the love of God get rid of them and put some kids in f**k me c brown JT and WHE are playing in the FORWARD LINE and they can't average a goal a game between em. I remember games last year when ruscoe and Stevo kicked 2 each and got dropped.
Has Bucks lost it or what

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Yeah and we can widen our net to include future prospects from primary school to start them next week in the VFL side.

3 first gamers with no football for 18 months in their first game together???

1 or 2 is possible but 3 is simply tanking.

We are all frustrated with our bottom 6 but throwing first gamers in at the deep end with no football or match conditioning behind them for the last 18 months is not a good look - for the club and the youngsters.

Well l was implying two could be brought into the side, like Macrae and McCreery, and if not them, then a left field selection like Wilson, who played well in the VFL practice match.
Did Gulden and Campbell get much footy in 2020 before this year? I think if players are showing form on the track and in actual matches (practice matches at this stage), then they should be seriously considered. Bring in Poulter then, he played SANFL footy last year, and was again in the best players in the VFL practice match.

If there are no changes this week.. the meltdown will rival mt versuvias in here re. fu**en forget about it mate.

If there are not at least 2 changes this week , it will be a stratovolcano combined of Mt Vesuvias and Mt Etna which will erupt like we haven`t seen in a long time, the jungle drums are beating Bucks, Ed not there to save your bacon this time around, GW will make sure of it , show some dare or you will be shown the door , McCrae , McCreery , Cameron all in

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Genuinely pathetic isn’t it.
If we go into this game with no changes I will blow my lid right off.

Surely WHE will be an out, and possibly Mayne or Thomas...

 

[stormskye]

Judging by training mayne and Thomas are playing, wearing black

 

[Pop Pie]

Hope Beau does better than Oliver Henry did.

 

[pablo disco bar]

I'm almost at the point of writing Murphy off. Maybe he just doesn't have the body for the wear and tear of AFL footy?

Wont play 10 Games

Your Dad seems to know his stuff when it comes to tipping in Pies games. I am reassured that he has tipped us, as he's very often correct. Last week you said he tipped the Lions by 18 points, when most had us winning easily.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Would love to see a curveball and play tohill

 

[Billys Back]

If WHE is not dropped for this game, I will ban myself from the Collingwood BigFooty forums for this season!!!!

He was in black at training. Think you may be in for a shock

Appears you can do whatever you like at collingwood and still get a gig

perhaps i should enquire if standing around being a witches hat is still avaliable.
