Changes vs Collingwood

[fronkalicious]

Going in with just Roughy as a tall back and Dale/Easton to fight in the heavyweight division. Interesting. Still backing in the whole team defence thing which is probably the only way we were going to get around our lack of inside mids. Run these prisoners off their feet young pups!

Who do Collingwood have in the "heavyweight" division that we need to worry about??

Swanny's a bit on the heavy weight side.

Trying to get my head around us being favourites for this game. Nervous about how we wear that game day.

Still, not sure where we lose it? Pendles and Sidebottom go unchecked the whole game and kick half a dozen between them? Unlikely IMO.

Jesse White takes a big pack mark and kicks truly from 30m? Nah...

Ours to lose I reckon. Go Dogs

We are not favourites with any of the betting agencies. Most have the Pies at around $1.60 to $1.70 and us at $2.20 to $2.30.
Collingwood have a far better midfield than us and that wins most games of footy.

Eddie too I guess.

I'm worried

Bout time Biggs got another call up, been our best in the VFL the last couple of weeks.

I'll be worried if Dale isn't sub though, no doubt he will have a bright future with us but last week showed he is physically still a year off from playing 4 quarters at AFL level. The amount of times Geelong players broke his tackles was crazy. I don't mind him getting only 9 disposals but making only 1 tackle stick is a problem, especially when the ball was in our forward line for so long in a tight congested game.
Our game relies heavily on scoring from turnovers from forward pressure and last week should have been tackling heaven for a small forward, Redpath 10 tackles, Dahlhaus 7, Boyd 6, Crameri and Dickson 5 and yet Dale with only 1 tackle is just not good enough.

I also have no idea how Prudden is staying in the team ahead of Webb, but hopefully he proves me wrong this weekend.

Yes but, unlike Jesse White, the other two have at least a modicum of talent.

I dunno, Majak is pretty shitty.

Good lord. Might be an opportunity to sign up the Alfred as a new sponsor

Would go alright against Witts haha

At least someone would sponsor us....

Seriously??

Friend of mine saw him in it yesterday, Hopefully nothing serious

 

[Roscoe_au]

Whatever happens on Sunday, I hope none of us come on this board and be as delusional as the Carlton supporters.

Yikes!

Well they had a chance to refine the squad last night and didn't, so you would assume it's minor and he will play.

 

[DognBones]

We really are a mosquito fleet this week, three tall players in the entire team: Campbell, Roughead and Redpath. If we repeat the old bomb it towards the forward line tactic that we have fallen into these past few weeks we will be in trouble.
Not that Talia's form has been great in the 2s but this was the perfect opportunity to try him either forward or back and see if he could make an impact.
With injuries etc, this looks our most unsettled or unbalanced side for some time; I'll be there with a strong sense of hope.

 

[Doggies7]

Roughead out of the side replaced by Talia. Jong listed as emergency.

 

[Zgope1]

Now official. Roughead out according to Pat Keane. We're devastated right now

 

[dergert]

Talia's time to shine.

But Austin isn't playing.

But Austin isn't playing.

If we lose another player we may need to get him back.....

If we didn't have Talia then I'd agree, but swapping out Roughy for Talia in our defence won't hurt us too much. I love Roughy,but more as a roaming, athletic ruck. Some would argue this could make us stronger. Still would like another tall in the team but the coaching staff want run so ok.
