Unofficial Preview Changes V Sydney

[Carringbush2010]

Sounds like you are losing hope again.

I'd be forgiven for that considering our uber shitty injury list, Elliott goes down with a hammy again! on top of yesterday and basically every single week this year.

It's not sustainable, personally I think we'll just scrape in with 1 or 2 more wins and go out in straight sets simply because we're decimated by injury.

Can't roll into finals in a wheel chair and expect to contend - just a blunt reality. Only been done once in over a hundred and twenty odd years.

Will be very surprised if we get up this week

 

[Carringbush2010]

Brisbane we’ll clobber in my view.

Fremantle we should put to the sword.

Sydney looking more burnt than a badly BBQd chook.

And Port? They are a fickle beast.

Normally I'd agree with you but given our lack of available cattle these games will be very difficult.

We will finish 4th. Trust me on this.

I agree, but I feel we’re going to have to win all 4 games to do it. Hawthorn and GWS are storming home with decent draws. I think we will win them all, but it will be tough!

Is that you Eddie?

In all seriousness I hope you're right and that means we have 3 more wins, that's a big ask considering the decimated list.

3 wins is enough

I tried to tell you earlier in the year. Stay on the bus.

If i see one more post that says no risks with Elliott i might Terry Wallace.

What do you think the club has been doing the last 4 months. This week was the last 'no risk' week. He gets through, he is in. Some people are too scared to take a deep breathe out, in case they fart. He has done a mini pre season, will have played two games, he is in.

How does that look now, a mere 12 hours later?

Not if Hawthorn win all of their games, which they should.... could come down to percentage! Anyway, I still think 4th too.

We know. You've posted the same comment 4 times in the past hour.

There's only one certainty for mine and that's the Saints...

 

[Soaring Magpie]

We are only 1 game and % in the 8

We are 3rd in the ladder, the teams around us all have draws in the last month that have significant impact on finishing positions, Sydney this week will be a win and that takes care of them. The other big game is Port who realistically at the G we win.
We will finish top 4, enjoy the ride TD it’s been far to long between drinks

Is the curse over? No not yet. I’m tipping Blair gets a game soon then. And for all the carers out there, Smith kicked a nice snap goal from the pocket in the last at Avalon Oval today.

Quite a few of you have Mihocek going back and McClarty forward. Mihocek may not play yet depends on his ankle. If he does play he’s better suited forward as he’s a far more accurate kick than McClarty assuming he comes in. The SCG is a small ground. Almost too tight for our roaming forward line. Unless Checkers is out too, I think we will bring in smalls or mids to play the SCG instead.

Aish I feel is overrated by us in comparison to the output of his career to date

Fair Enough but I could say the same thing about

• Langdon
• Phillips
• Blair
• Smith

Hey Dave, Aish has improved this year no doubt but still behind Langdon and Philips.
He has the other two covered.

Phillips was Fantastic in 1st Half but underwhelming in 2nd Half. Langdon I feel is Important now because there Depth we had down back has been Chipped away because of Bloody Injuriies

Sydney are playing with about 5 guys sore, Kennedy and Franklin shouldnt even be playing.

 

[DaVe86]

I think we need to play Mclarty and Magden this week.

I have no faith in Reid or Moore getting us through finals,so we need to get some games into these guys just in case. Wouldnt want them debuting in a final

 

[Collingwoodity]

It was your comment about hoping to never see Murray again that I told to bugger off. I’m sick of reading shit like this from so called supporters. The kid is doing all he can, not good enough for you though.

What Murray is doing is not good enough for me either.

I’d be surprised it’s good enough for you either. He has cost us quite a few goals himself.

However, long term he is a keeper and can (and must) improve.

You lost me at “no faith.”

For 4th place?

Not necessarily. Have you seen other side’s percentages?

Quoting some one in hindsight is not that pleasant.

We all make mistakes.

Why realistically? We usually/recently get owned by Port at the G. Plus we have about 37156 blokes missing.

True but they're no where as depleted as we are, no other team is. it's only our system that is keeping us in it - even then there's a breaking point. Just hope and pray we haven't reached it.

You must have just about 0% Trust in them thinking we need to Debut 2 KPP because they might be Needed in Finals.

I be happy to Debut 1 but I think 2 might be 1 too many
