This thread reminds me a lot of one that was pretty busy just before the EF last year, hopefully we get the same result tomorrow as that match.
BTW Bruzzy has a message for some of you

Why is he reading Big Footy?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Nope, Moore is a defender and is only a stop gap forward. He’s AA in defence. Kelly is not Key position size, he’s a hybrid player and McMahon is an athletic kid, more of a 3rd tall. I’m talking the Dixon, Kennedy, Lynch type is who we need.

It took Charlie Dixon ten years to become an overnight success at age 29. At what point in his career prior to 2020 were you talking him up?

He should pay less attention to big footy and more attention to his decision making in the field.

 

[Matrix10]

What are the odds ? 51/1?

Might throw a gorrilla on the pies

In my - shock? - I forgot to be pleased about the return of Keane. Welcome back lad, hopefully for the long term. Go Irish!

 

[Harry O]

You seriously think that is a player posting that?

 

[regpies]

Why Keane, he got his arse handed to him against Freo by Taberner, who should be playing WAFL 2’s.

Cox hasn’t been nearly as bad as Thomas.

Mayne and Greenwood are in their final year so why are we playing them. We are in clear rebuild mode so start getting games into guys like T Brown to see if they’ll be good enough.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Seeing St Kilda get belted tonight gives me some hope of an upset after the Eagles collapsed against them last week.

Rubbish , Taberner is a good player , kicked 29 goals in 16 games last season, and was named in in the extended All Australian squad also, would walk straight into our team as a KPF, Keane just turned 21 , he was thrown to the wolves on his debut , I like what he offers, think the kid will be ok

Take away the 4 on Keane and he’s kicked 25 from 15, hardly elite KPF numbers, not much different from Mihocek. Yet he looked like a superstar against us a low scoring game.

Perhaps Keane has improved since then?

Hey guys, Game Day thread and preview is now up: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/collingwood-v-west-coast-perth-stadium-16-4-8-10pm.1263227/

Please be gentle.

I did not say Taberner was elite, I said he is a good player, you rubbished Keane after 1 game

 

[Horaceg]

Have a sneaky feeling that Moore will go forward, can’t have Cox in the team if Moore is up there and hence the Keane inclusion. Cameron played Well on Nic last outing and deserves another crack.

So who are the match ups on Kennedy, Darling And Allen?

If there is one team I would make this move against it is probably WCE. It could get nasty. Without Moore who is your intercept defender. Not Howe he will have his hands full.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Yeah, just like we did last week against a half baked GWS, on our home ground.

No last week was no intensity with very minimal effort. As reported, we were listless against GWS. If we come with effort tomorrow night, we definitely give ourselves a chance.

 

[KillerMagpies]

You don’t think the sudden love for Cox is a bit strange?

"Lynch kicked 2 goals today. He was ok. He did enough. Unfortunately, he dropped many contested marks. The Tigers would expect more." vs "Cox kicked 2 goals today. He was dangerous and caused a lot of head aches. It was a very good game from the big American who continues to learn to play a game foreign to him. He presented well. Although he didn't take a lot of marks, he presented well."
Cox gets marked very leniently.

 

[Hardas]

I’m 90% sure Moore or Howe won’t play forward.

I'm guessing they want Howe free of playing on one of their 3 main talls.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Am I the only one rightly or wrongly happy to see the back of Cox?

me too!

 

[Hardas]

If Cox played for Richmond he'd kick a few bags. Our ball movement and disposal is pathetic most of the time.

True, but if Coxy could kick long we might have something anyway.

 

[Hardas]

Wouldn’t it be a dream to see Kelly & McMahon the feared duo for the next 10 years!

I'm hoping the next coach turns Kelly into a productive backman.

 

[maace]

Having complained about our team and bucks, I always look forward to seeing a debutant, there’s always the hope that they’ll be the next big thing, so that’s my focus for tomorrow. I am actually quite keen on seeing how young Fin plays, I’m excited by all our 2020 draftees. I just hope along with Nick Daicos this is the start of a new era. Im not all doom and gloom but for things to change, things need to change.

The Messiah.

 

[javaguice]

Have you lads seen how ****ing tall we are?

Bring the contested footy and some run and you'll give us some trouble
