[swishy]

Buckleys last game at the pies helm. Lets absolutely pump these ferals and remind bucks how he turned that club into a rabble.

Last 4 in a row against Collingwood. Let's up the streak to 5!

 

[BG32]

No the best news we could get is Buckley re-signs on

 

[Crusty Demon]

OUT: Wagner, Stretch, Vince

IN: Salem, Watts, Viney

This x100.

Another pre-season into Stretch and I still feel he'll be ok. Wagner simply isn't AFL standard. Vince is cooked. I'm sure if he doesn't get suspended Goodwin will play him. But he's not best 22 anymore IMO.

Thanks for keeping it alive

 

[demondavey]

Wagner stretch out

Viney and Watts/Salem in

Watts no chance.

Out - Wagner, Stretch, Vince

In - Frost, Viney, Maynard

Just looked at the predictor
If WC win by 30 we have get within a kick of the Pies

If they only win by 12 we can afford to lose by 4 goals.

So its by no means over at all

So we can still lose in both circumstances?

Are we too tall with Hogan/Pedersen/Watts/Gawn/McDonald brothers?

Yes

Although it probably depends on what you do with Watts. If he's a wing/half forward it probably doesn't unbalance the side too much, Pedo spent half the day on the wing.

Problem is each tall you add means we lose out on one more guy offering tackling pressure (TMac and Pedo are fine there but OMac/Watts/Hogan offer SFA).

I actually thought Hoges was good in terms of effort off the ball, more that he's just slow as shit.

No.

Tackling pressure isn't as big a priority when you can retain the ball. On that note:
Out: Wagner, Vince
In: Salem, Watts

If Viney comes in I think Stretch has to go

The 2 talls in the fwd line has been working so well lately. Keeps the forward line open. I'd stick with what has been working

I absolutely agree, which is why I'd want to see Watts on a wing, or at least a high half forward ... Hogan and Pedo would only benefit from him delivering it to them.

 

[VanDemonxx]

Also if Adams is ruled out then these will be Collingwood's mids:

Sidebottom, Treloar, Aish, Blair, Crisp, Phillips, Thomas.

Besides Treloar and Sidey, with maybe Crisp too, that is a seriously poor midfield.
They will be missing Pendelbury, Wells, Greenwood, Varcoe, De Goey, Fasolo, Sinclair, Oxely and (potentially) Adams and Goldsack.
No excuses beating this mob given if Viney plays we will be at full strength.

I'd consider it if Viney isn't right. He's got to run defensively. Watts' problem is that he'll never win a hard ball
Salem to replace Wagner and Viney to replace Stretch. Please.

Seconded.

Oh man that just has Melbourne upset loss all over it
