Changes versus Adelaide - early thoughts

[wixism]

Marty Clarke/Brad Dick for Jaxson Barham

 

[Shellz]

Is it live into melboure?

 

[Brent24]

More goalkicking options against us this week so we'll have to setup well in defence.

Tippett, Porps, Burton and Knights are a good comination.

Get the matchups right here and we'll go a long way to winning this.

I think Goldsack might be a good option this week with Knights, Burton and Porps all potential matchups for him.

I don't think we need a change.

Presti - Tippett
Harry O - Burton
Goldsack - Porps
Toovey - Knights

Leaves Maxwell and Shaw to bring it out of defence.

Very happy with how we match up against their forwards.

Is it live into melboure?

I believe so. Which is 7:40pm on TV as it's in Adelaide.

 

[Blur]

A live footy match? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, I hardly ever see any Collingwood games live anymore.

 

[The Norm]

I'd be surprised if anyone calling for Toovey or Johnson to be dropped will be happy once the team's announced, I thought they both did well enough on the weekend to hold their spot.

IN: Dick

OUT: Barham

 

[Rummy]

I'd look at dropping Barham for Wellingham perhaps. Also wouldn't mind looking at Macaffer again for a senior job.

I loved the look of Macaffer, every time the ball was near him he did something great and effective. I'd really like to see

In: Clarke Out: Goldsack
In: Macaffer Out: Barham

marty clarke in??

correct me if im wrong but hasnt our boy martin been back in Ireland for the past 2 weeks on leave from the footy club due to an important wedding?

if he is even back, he has 2 games in the vfl in him before he can crack our best 22. not to say he isnt in it, its just the way it goes. you cant not play any footy in 2 weeks and come back to a crunch match interstate..

as for dawes, i like him, i just dont know where we can squeeze him atm

 

[dunno4]

Wellingham was rubbish in the magoo's so I cant see him coming in.

maybe McCaffer for Barham if he's fully fit, only played half a game in VFL.

 

[Trojan82]

N. Brown is highly unlikely after missing training this morning.

Dale Thomas left training early but he'll be fine.

 

[Optimax]

fraser missed, nate trained according to another report

i still dont think nate will play this week

 

[didaka]

That's not what the turtle posted on nicks after training. Someone's telling porkies.

 

[TheClokes]

B: Toovey - Prestigiacomo - Maxwell
HB: Shaw - Goldsack - O'Brien
C: Lockyer - Swan - Johnson
HF: Didak - Cloke - Thomas
F: Beams - Anthony - Medhurst
FL: Wood - Pendlebury - Davis
INT: Sidebottom - Braham - O'Bree - L. Brown​

No real matchup for Nathan Brown - needs to work for his spot

 

[Old Spice]

Medders needs to lift his game or McCaf could be nabbing his spot.

 

[pies4eva]

Collingwood

[TwisTz]

Medders needs to lift his game or McCaf could be nabbing his spot.

No chance this close to finals.

I thought he was good against Brisbane, if unlucky in front of the goals.

This Medders defending on BigFooty is reminding me of this point of time in 2007, where I was doing exactly the same thing.

Have faith. Medders will definitely lift.

Have faith. Medders will definitely lift.

Yep, Opti's got his left nut riding on it.
