Preview Changes: R11 vs Collingwood

[Murray2503]

Watched Collingwood intently as had a win on them earlier. Very banged up, injuries to Quaynor, Hoskin-Elliot, Treloar. Barely got over the line against Sydney. Ripe for the taking if we are good enough.

Narrator: They weren't good enough

What did Ben Davis do during the covid break?

Pumped games into him during the preseason and played round 1, never to be seen again, spoken about or even made it to the emergencies.

We’ve made numerous changes, including to our disfunctional forward line and he can’t get a game.

Wouldn't be such a big problem except for the fact we re-signed him to a 3 year deal last year, since then 2 games

There has to be a story there that we don't know about.

He was being heavily talked up as well, then nothing.

Either came back extremely unfit, or he's actually done something that's gotten him in trouble.

He was actually taking players on when he was playing and would be exactly what we currently need.

 

[SellarStardom]

If they are going to have Berg, Walker, FOG and a mid like Crocker in the forward line they need to have FOG running through the midfield for part of the game

 

[Firewalker]

Oh no... not Murphy... whatever will we do?

They’ll have to find another small forward to grab the ball and run straight into opposition defenders

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Don't think Fog is match fit after missing so many games.

He started well then faded.

He started well then faded.

Also with only 11 inside 50’s for the second half he’s not going to get much look at it, especially being deep forward.

Especially this....completely stagnant, slow forward line the past two weeks - Walker the chief culprit and the Berg did show something. Not sold on Murphy & Stengle in the same team though...both too small, and neither are particularly good at crumbing the ball, nor are fleet of foot.

Out: The farm
In: Rankine

I said this before the 2018 draft.

Rozee and Lukosius might share the Brownlow one day but Rankine is just soooo much fun to watch. The goal on the run was the reincarnation of Macca.... and the screamer... and the left foot snap... and the perfectly weighted pass to set up a goal....DELICIOUS.

exactly Lynch spot isn’t. I don’t think there’s any more material drive other than Hart arguing with Daniel Jackson.

 

[DJ75]

So looking like Collingwood will be missing Treloar, Hoskin-Elliot, Quaynor from tonights game along with Pendlebury, DeGoey, Howe already out. Maynard also hurt his should but played out the game.

This game might be a lot closer than people think.

Hilarious!

You could put Sturt in Collingwood jumpers and we wouldn't win.
We are below SANFL quality right now.

I'm pretty much willing to give up anything other than pick 1 for him. And I mean ANYTHING.
I wonder if they need a Chairman? Or CEO?

Murphy needs to come out to with his suspension

ftfy
I'd like to know what Mrouch (and many others) were doing during the C-19 lockdown.
If they ever had a chance to work with a Personal Trainer (they can afford it), that was it.

Alternatively, why were players not given a program detailed to the individual by the Club, to achieve a high level of fitness/durability? They are the slowest, least fit, least likely to run/chase Crows side I have ever seen.

You didn't watch them last year? I can't honestly blame you.

The fitness issue has been going on ever since Hass arrived, and started destroying the fitness base they had built under the previous fitness guy. It has nothing to do with the Covid break.

He was back in the emergencies wasn't he?

 

[StonesThrow]

Surely Hamill misses. You'd wanna be cautious after 2 concussions.

Don't think Fog looked right either.

Jones needs to clear his head.

Think Kelly could be on the chopping block after his performance. He's been dropped at least once this year right?

Hopefully Mackay is gone for good.

Smith, McPherson, Stengle and McAdam in.

Why do we have so many players with last names that are hard to remember how to spell?

Walker didn’t play vs the Roos and was probably our best forward the previous two weeks.
But yes now that Fogarty is back and berg is showing a bit happy for him to miss.

 

[scoota10]

Matt Crouch? Back 1/2?

I couldn't think of a more "we're tanking" move.

Sorry i mean Murphy in the back 1/2

 

[Golumless]

Sorry i mean Murphy in the back 1/2

Oh fair. That is less of a tanking move.

 

[Red mist]

O’Brien is a tall centre half back. He’s not a ruck. Need some ruck craft.

O’Brien and Keays are the only guys we currently have that can run out a game!

 

[CrowBloke]

Yeah, fair point.
Post-bye they were dreadful and didn't run out games.

I think they're worse this year, fitness-wise, and it has something to do with C-19:
--- training has been disrupted, is only allowed in smaller groups etc
--- they had a break of, what was it, 10 weeks?
They've come back soft, in really poor shape (some exceptions eg Keays), but I agree that Hass is the main culprit. I watched the Nicks post-game presser where he was diplomatic to say the least. I've been harsh on Nicks; unimpressed, but will wait to see what he does with the last 7 games and what changes he makes, if any, after that. It was clear he was not happy they "ran out of gas". Nicks will be aware his job is on the line, probably his Coaching future. If he does not insist that Hass goes (Hart and Godden too, would be proactive and decisive) at year's end, then Nicks himself is a dud.

So be it. We aren’t breaking out of stoppage too much. In fact teams are streaming out.
Hed be a great CHB on the Kings and McKays .
