Prediction Changes: Soldiering on against the Pies

[threenewpadlocks]

Pies obviously terrified of Fletcher Roberts rich vein of form and have dropped Cloke lest his trade value plummet further.

Collingwood must be the first side in history not to load up on talls going into a game against us. Nathan Buckley may know what he's doing after all!

I have not understood why they've persisted all season with at least two of Cox, Moore and Cloke all season (and even Witts on top of two of them!). Cloke is hot trash, Cox was promising initially but surely on pure output doesn't have a long term future in the game (no influence on a game whatsoever except getting on the end of ball movement up the ground) and Moore has been injured. White might be a spud, but he doesn't need to be a 3rd tall forward, he can ruck in a pinch and is perfectly capable being a 2nd tall forward, and in multiple games due to form and injury by default they've selected 2 of those 3 tall forwards.

Bit of a shame that Buckley has come to his senses the week he plays us but Marsh and Brown in key defensive posts without Reid makes me happy.

Wonder how we go without Morris

 

[go you pups]

Just when you thought that the Doggies would, for the first time since round 3, have their entire 22 from the previous week available for selection, think again.

This is what pisses me off

We think we have no major injuries then boom, someone is sore come Thursday night

 

[Dogs Rule]

What's wrong with Dale now or is he just being rested?

 

[maddog37]

Managed Morris. He is old and short break with recent hammy issues. No probs

With Collingwood's forward line Morris out shouldn't be an issue, but it's not a great sign to miss come back and miss again.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Morris given next week and even the game in Perth off aswell.

Poor Moz

Reid out is great. He was awesome last time, from memory.

 

[maddog37]

Reid = Moz

 

[maddog37]

Any chance of a games/age comparison from one of you wonderfully statistically minded folk?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Happy to see Moz "rested", "managed", whatever, and Suckers getting game time before the finals.

Still nervous. Especially how we struggled past a depleted Richmond. If we play our style which is fast and full of pressure we should get up.
Will need a damn forward to stand up this week. Dickson showed signs last week.

Thankyou.

no problem with this weeks selection. happy to rest moz and give cordy his role. I like him or hamling match up on moore. And I really don't like cordy forward.

I hope Tom Boyd has a breakout game and kicks 6 goals. He will soon enough. Tomorrow will be ideal for him, with Collingwoods depleted backline. Should win comfortably, well I hope!!!

Enjoy seeing only 1 change even if it is Morris. Definitely a big out but shouldn't effect us too much.

Let's hope Suckling has his kicking boots on. Last time we played Pies he played pretty well.

 

[stefoid]

Pies will be very brave if they go in with both Moore & Pendlebury.

Brave. So brave.

Three weeks off for Morris to get his hammy right, considering the opposition.

 

[fronkalicious]

They still have a midfield of pendles, Treloar, Sidebottom, Adams and Grundy, compared to ours without Libba, Wallis and macrae.

If Collingwood turn up, this will actually be a tough one imo.

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Very surprised to see both Pendles and Moore named. Seemed like they were definite outs at the start of the week.
The good thing is their probably not 100%

Yeah because 4 weeks out will be great for his match conditioning coming into finals

Lil Diego will be best on ground
