Opinion Changes vs Collingwood

Hehehe.

If Frawley is 100% available then he obviously returns, if anything less then 100% and I'd be thinking no change is looking pretty good. If Frawley is back, I guess it'd have to be either JMac or Sellar out for him, both played well at times on the weekend so it'd be a hard one.

We won't risk Swan and Reid just for a Melbourne match. So having the bye the week later is a bonus

What are you saving Frawly for?

swan will be in according to geoff walsh, in for pendles.

Cloke was out of form, but certainly found it again yesterday(even though it was against GC). I think Frawely is the only one in our side who is capable of going with Cloke. Sellar can go to Dawes and Tommy Mc can go to Goldsack. I think those match ups work for us. Rivers can play the 3rd man up while Watts can float around the back half like he has.

I feel if Frawley doesn't play, Cloke could really turn it on against us. I reckon if it's dry, we will definitely need the height, as Jolly is likely to return and play some time down forward. If it looks like being wet again, we could potentially afford to give Frawley another week, or drop Sellar. Could come down to conditions on the day.

^Cloke looked really menacing yesterday, he kicked badly but really imposed himself early. Frawley has to go to him if he's fit, even then Cloke has a big strength advantage which shows what a beast he is as Frawley isn't small. If Frawley misses then chuck McDonald on him and hope Cloke sprays them everywhere.

Oh I didnt hear about Cloke getting some form back, I guess if Frawley is out, Sellar would have first crack at Cloke, but wouldn't it be interesting of TMc went on him for a quarter just to see how he goes, he seems to be getting better and better the bigger jobs he gets. I think with the amount of talls in the back line Rivers will become the 4th of 5th man up I reckon Watts won't be allowed to roam as free this week, I think the Pies will put a match up on him, which will be good for him. Watts did really well against Monfries when he was on him though.

He did look menacing. Easily his best game for awhile. I think the issue if Frawely misses is that Sellar would have to go to him, as we have no one else who could get close to him strength wise.Then this would mean Rivers would have to play on Dawes close to goal, which leaves him vulnerable. If Tom Mc plays on Cloke, they will just isolate him close to goal, which is exactly what we don't want. Fingers crossed Frawley makes it back.

If the game is going to sh*t, It might not be a bad move to try Watts on Cloke for a quarter or so. Might be another good learning curve for the youngster.

Cloke is probably a little taller than Chip but he doesn't have a 'big strength advantage' like he did over Rivers, Cloke is a good player who could potentially beat Chip but he sure as hell won't rag doll him like he does other defenders.
