Changes v Collingwood - In: Watts and Salem, Out: Stretch and Wagner

[rhaz]

Anyway, serious question:

Who gets dropped for Bugg?

Stretch

 

[djpaulydemon]

Watts and Salem are massive upgrades on Wagner and Stretch.

Both got reported in the VFL too i think so they got the message that they need to play with more intensity.

Not sure who should go if Viney gets up.

Hahahaha....
hey, as my dear old mum used to say "ask a silly question, get a silly answer"

If we win on Saturday, and Port and Sydney win as expected, we need to barrack hard for St Kilda to beat Richmond, which is an odd feeling, actually wanting St Kilda to win.

That's right - we need St Kilda to beat Richmond, and Port & Syd to win so that we meet Richmond first week of the finals Hopefully Roo's last game is a cracker and the Saints are fired up for him.

But I am getting way ahead of myself. Melbourne will obviously take the hardest possible route to finals, meaning we'll just miss out, or be stressed out on Sunday afternoon barracking hard for Adelaide.

Pish posh, you need to get further ahead of yourself. I'm barracking for a Geelong win, and a massive Richmond so we can avoid playing the Tiges until the Granny

If we'd beaten Freo and north twice we'd be 2nd...

If we'd just won all our games like I said we should, we'd be doing better than we are now. I haven't done the math.

 

[DeesFan]

No Collingwood player will risk themselves getting a injury that will rule them out of mad Monday, nothing worse than having to have a scan while your team mates are putting on a dress.

Bruise free football I would hope, else they are just not committed to being on the news in fancy dress.

 

[ponsdale]

Ahhh ok, thank you.

Personally I don't think Hogan or Watts need to be considered in that equation if that's the case, as both of them are pretty fit/agile/athletic.
And one of those talls listed is our ruckman.

Oddly enough, despite having a tall forward line, we are horrible in the air.

Agile and fit, yes. Forward defensive pressure and tackling, no. We need more of the later.

Fasolo has been ruled out for Collingwood, Adams is likely to play.

 

[Bluelegs]

Out: Stretch, Wagner

In: Watts, Viney (Salem if Viney isn't up to it.)

Fasolo has been ruled out for Collingwood, Adams is likely to play.

Thats good. Fas carves us up every time!

Meanwhile Adams runs after Watts while he drills the sealer

Is this week a replacement game for memberships?

 

[LeverPuller]

Is this week a replacement game for memberships?

Round 5 was one, not sure about the other

 

[schmuttt]

Round 5 was one, not sure about the other

I have a feeling it's not but thought I'd double check as pretty sure the second Carlton game was one too.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Fasolo has been ruled out for Collingwood, Adams is likely to play.

He's a big loss for them. So who have they got out? Pendlebury, Fasolo, Varcoe, Wells, DeGoey and a few other best 22? Plus they have Aish running around in their seniors! We got this surely!!

 

[Longdroughtdees]

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

Agree.. Pyke may rest a couple of players this week. Wet Toast have nothing to lose, we have to win!

Why would he rest now everyone gets a bye?

 

[Bluelegs]

Why would he rest now everyone gets a bye?

Especially if they win the qualifying they play like two games in 6 weeks

 

[TheCount]

Yeah I don't see Adelaide taking it easy, you don't want to go into finals having lost your last two, and the week off means you need the game time, rather than the rest.

 

[JV07]

Out: Wagner, Stretch, Tyson (I wish)
In: Salem, Watts, Frost

Good problem to have but he still might rest a couple of guns, especially sore players that could do with 2 weeks rest...

Tyson has been good the last two weeks. You should have called for his head earlier in the year.

His decision-making is too slow. Gets caught holding the ball too often - it's infuriating. However, you're right, he gets too much of the ball to be dropped.
