Moore? I had to step away at half time for fear of destroying my TV and saw that he went off late with an “injury”.

Stephenson is the most valuable player in the AFL

 

[AgroMagro]

Roughead is as cool as a cucumber. I'd like to see him playing with the Iceberg.

 

[Bad Horse]

Cometh the hour, cometh the Schazz.

Greenwood under pressure from Quaynor. Dont know what the hell to do about Thomas and Varcoe. Id love to replace one of them, but there isnt anyone except Daicos, and Im not sure on that one. Could Broomhead be a potential in? He has done some good numbers of late, and appears to have good goal sense.

Three talls looked a bit overcooked as expected, and seemed to detract from Mihocek's impact. Do we drop him though? Not so sure. We are caught on the horns of a dilemma, with a structure that isnt really sustainable, but with making the right call an awkward mess.

Moore? I had to step away at half time for fear of destroying my TV and saw that he went off late with an “injury”.

Not many shining moments for Darcy tonight but that first half took me back to 2017; we were insipid at times during the 2nd quarter.

Having said that we shouldn't be taking away from the Doggies, they played great footy and arguably deserved to win. They kicked themselves out of the contest.

Grundy was colossal, Reid held his own.

I'd like to see Daicos and Broomy put pressure on Varcoe and Thomas.

He got lost from what I saw today and couldn’t work his man over. The same happened in the pre-season. An idea only, but perhaps the three can work together with Mihocek playing as a wingman that drifts back. Either that or he swings back as cover for Howe and we go with Daicos over Shaz.

 

[ThePhantom777]

On SEN they were saying Mihoceck looks a little lost with the three talls and we should consider playing him up the ground as a connect to the forward line.

 

[anshell]

Moore? I had to step away at half time for fear of destroying my TV and saw that he went off late with an “injury”.

I thought he just got a finger in the eye.I don’t think it was a soft tissue injury or anything like that.

 

[Horaceg]

Howe looks like a four to six weeker,

How far is Adams off?

 

[anshell]

Surely Thomas goes out this time?That was one of the most insipid performances. I’ve ever seen from a Collingwood player.

 

[Bad Horse]

The last may be the answer if they feel Shaz isnt ready for AFL yet, which could easily be the case.

Lucky we didn't rest Grundy this week...

Three talls had nothing to do with Mihocek “looking” lost.........our onballers were very poor today.........except Brodie.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Out: Howe, Varcoe
In: Scharenberg, Elliott

 

[Bad Horse]

I'm probably being uncharitable to our injury management, but Id be willing to bet Howe comes back before Adams*

*gamble responsibly.

 

[Piestration]

Not sure about the Cox & Reid combo. we looked slow but looked to have options when going down the line. Not sure on the setup against high end teams.

Out: Howe & Aish

In: Goldsack & Quaynor

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Out: Howe (inj.), Reid
In: Scharenberg, Elliott

More likely just the one change. Reid was obviously ok but I think the structural change is absolutely required.

 

[nahnah]

Out: Reid, Howe, Varcoe
In: Schaz, Elliott, Daicos

 

[Scodog10]

Lucky we didn't rest Grundy this week...

We’ll never know because I would have done a lot differently on top of that

 

[Thatsmyname]

Brown and Varcoe redeemed themselves after half time, Pig and Bear had shockers but Greeny has bucks in the bank and Sier still got 20 disposals so just Schaz for Howe I guess if no injuries are back. Done well to keep the side stable with so many out but 8 of our best is starting to stretch us.

U/A:
Adams Langdon Elliott Stephenson Howe Beams Wells Dunn

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Out: Reid, Howe, Varcoe
In: Schaz, Elliott, Daicos

I would not be averse to Varcoe out for Daicos; unfortunately Daicos seems to have had a middling game today.
