Preview Changes: RD4 vs Collingwood

[dogs105]

Thing is, Murphy wasn't providing as much pressure as we wanted. I reckon they've gone with the physical pressure of Fogarty in the wet.

Lol

Equivalent of watching Die Hard without John McClain

The terminator without arnie... they tried it and it was crap!.

 

[Archie87]

Was that the game where we played dry weather footy superbly in the wet?

Yeah that's the one. Bucketed down with rain all game yet we barely dropped a mark and kicked a big score at home.

While Fogarty won't be able to chase all day, he'll bring plenty of physical and perceived pressure causing defenders to fumble in the wet when they know he's around. Let's hope the plan works out!

Choo Choo Bar oops revealing my age

Yeah!! And didn’t they stuff those up over time!

 

[Deaneus!]

Wasn't Darcy leading inside 50 tackles after 2 rounds?

No, that was “fights started”

As for movie equivalents...

It’d be like Fight Club without Brad Pitt

(...think about it)

I don't get it?

Its pissing me off that we aren't putting game time into Fog against arguably weaker teams in the comp... confidence will do first year players wonders.

He’s in.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So with five tall forwards will Eddie still be the one flying for pack grabs?

The clubs take on it from the afc website;

Start quote/

“Rookie forward Lachlan Murphy won’t play against the Magpies after experiencing some hamstring tightness at training on Thursday morning.

The Crows have opted to err on the side of caution, given the six-day break from last week’s game at Etihad Stadium and the demanding nature of Murphy’s role as a small pressure forward.

“Lachie misses out, unfortunately, but he’s got a bit of hamstring tightness,” Camporeale said.

“He’s had a pretty good pre-season and played a lot of footy for us early so it’s just a no-risk policy for him at the moment.”

The inclusion of the 193cm Fogarty means the Crows take a tall forward line into Friday night’s game, with Josh Jenkins, Taylor Walker, Tom Lynch and Mitch McGovern all standing at 190cm or taller.

Camporeale isn’t concerned with the height balance, given Collingwood’s back six are of similar height.

“We think McGovern, Betts and probably one of the mids spends some time down there,” he said.

“Very rarely will they all be on the ground at one time, so we’re comfortable with that.”

Seems reasonable to me and as I wrote earlier... one of the mids will probably spend time down forward..

 

[Squiba]

Maybe Sloane is booked in for significant forward time, being proppy on a wet deck...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A late change coming maybe?

There is a 2nd player I'm doubt, so you could be right.

Talia only walked laps today

Lachie Murphy - tightness

Sam Gibson - tightness - 4 weeks and counting

Gov & Lynch could share a wing, rotating forward if need be.

 

[spexau]

Pyke is of the opinion tall is the way to go in rain as statistically the number of aerial contests goes up significantly. He's said it in a few pressers before. We have a pretty good record in the rain so far don't we?

Every rain game last year we monstered the other team

 

[Bearded Clam]

Lachie Murphy - tightness

Sam Gibson - tightness - 4 weeks and counting

lachie Murphy - 20 years old

Sam Gibson - early 30’s

 

[GROTTO]

What makes you say that? Not disagreeing just curious?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So we could easily swing Gov to CHB & bring in Gooch.

Pyke knows what he is doing.

 

[Bicks]

You betcha, one day he might even catch one and actually take it to the ground with him........I won't be holding my breath but.

Caught one last week didnt he? Highlight of the match.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I’m also thinking a late change. Hasn’t Walker been sore leading into last week and after?

No, Walker has pulled up ok.

Given the weather and Collingwood lack of tall forwards, it would be crazy to risk Talia.

It’s a long time for “tightness”. I’m not even convinced that tightness is a thing. I think it just means a low grade year.

He’s still carrying the injury from the Richmond game.
