Prediction Changes round five

[Apex36]

They could've easily beaten us up there last year, and you could argue we're not going as well now as we were then. Putting aside their game on the weekend, they've definitely improved this year.

I wouldn't be surprised whatsoever if we drop this game.

You could also argue that at 3-3 we weren’t really setting the world on fire at that point either.

Nah. Brisbane have no chance. We're going to unleash our secret weapon. It's Crock O'Clock.

We’re about on par, IMO. Brisbane on the other hand have stepped it up big time in the past 12 months.

Teams done tomorrow and it’s Croc o’cloc

Isn't it on Wednesday, not tomorrow?

So is Beams sick? or have a migraine? or have another quad injury... whats the story?

 

[grayza2018]

If he gets suspended for that we may as well become the a league.

Was barely a free kick.

Eventually saw it and glad everyone involved came to their senses and threw it out!

Hahahahahah please don’t tell me that you’re using DE% to label Wills a better ball user than Sier.... Use your eyes friend. Wills is a below average kick and an ok handball. Sier is a good kick and an elite handballer. His vision in the contest is close to the best at the club. I think Wills could become an AFL standard footballer, but it’s doubtful he ever will be able to cement a spot in our midfield. Given Sier and Browns relative youth compared to Wills i’ll Back then both to become better players by a comfortable margin.

That was my reaction too.

Sier tends to handball far more than kick anyway, but when tackled he is exceptionally good at standing up, keeping his hands free and releasing to a target, sometimes a moving target clear of the congestion. Wills stands up but doesn’t get the pass off and it’s a ball up. You just see him at the bottom of a lot of packs.

As for kicking, Sier is a longer kick and neither is especially accurate.

 

[grayza2018]

I'd be happy to see Crocker get a run around, wing is his VFL spot and as Bucks said in his presser post-Dogs if someone goes down injured then the expectation is whoever gets named can and will play the role

In saying that, I think my preference would still be Appleby to the backline and Aish back to a wing, where he was playing pretty well pre-injury last year

Teams for our game will be released on Wednesday night.

Agree. I’m glad Crocker is being tried in a new position, but am still concerned by his complete ineptitude one-on-one.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Bucks hates to tag, it if we don’t put Levi on Neale I can see him smashing all kinds of possession records on Thursday

I think your Crock O'clock may be broken.

Dayne Beams is a chance to return against his former side on Thursday night

Dayne Beams
He was a late withdrawal (illness) from the AFL team’s round four clash against the Western Bulldogs. Beams is every chance to make a return against his former side on Thursday night.

Flynn Appleby
He’s been a consistent rock in defence off the half-backline and continues to push his case for a senior berth by being named the Pies’ best player in the loss to Footscray.

Ben Reid
In the VFL, Reid added two goals to his three from round one and was named among the best players for Collingwood. The veteran forward continues to show positive signs after recovering from a quad injury sustained in the pre-season.

Isaac Quaynor
After impressing throughout the pre-season, the athletic half-back was named among the best players in round two of the VFL.

Brayden Sier
He made his return in the VFL after sustaining a chest issue that hampered the tail end of his pre-season. Sier was busy in the midfield with good attack on the football setting up an early goal for Josh Daicos.

They've only mentioned guys who are in doubt for selection. Crock's name is already inked into the team sheet.

The clock works, even if the time isn't right at the moment. Anyway, t's not my clock, it's firecracqer's clock,he's the one who is wrong - him and Unplugged. They're the Crocker fanclub.

If we f lose this.. I f swear man.. I'll walk into a pizza shop.. with hand on chin.. look at the menu for 5 minutes.. and just f go.. I'll have a f margherita thx.. pay $18 for it.. when I coulda got a f house special for $20.
Unfbelievable re. F.

I have f had it man.. that's it for me.

 

[Jen2310]

Maybe just Beams in for Mayne? Or Beams in for Callum and someone else in for Mayne?

 

[magpies42]

It’s easy to lock down when your constantly playing on the worst forward. Not everyone has to run and carry butnplayers like Aish who offer little else have to. Plenty of other players get picked on as well your last line is simply not true.

He’s the number 1 whipping boy atm, don’t feel like he does all that much wrong. He contributes solidly. Stephenson on the other hand has done very little...no mention of getting dropped.

I cringe everytime we call one of our players a slud

It’s unnecessary.
It’s undignified.
It’s unbecoming.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Beams won’t play. It’s rare for players to play first game against their old club for whatever reason.

I think you’ve surpassed yourself.

That’s some theory going.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

If we lose this.. I f swear man.. I will spoil it for all the 'Game of Thrones' enthusiasts by telling em exactly how it ends.. just by listening to the music in it.. such is the genius of the Gimp re..

 

[Mooresome]

Greenwood to tag Beams its what he is used to

 

[BringouttheGimp]

If we lose this.. I f swear man.. I'll roll the ottoman by asking him for color matching advice.. ah re Ot.. fashionista here re.. you aliti.

 

[Maggie5]

Could be a sellout, apparently 2000 tickets left.

 

[magpies42]

Just fkin LOL.

Perfect example of the sheep herd mentality. No opinion of your own I take it
