Unofficial Preview Changes vs GWS

[Mick F]

Nobody. We’ve got plenty of magnets that can be moved.

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t get off. It wasn’t a bump

Correct. ‘427 games without a suspension were exceptional and compelling circumstances.’

In the mix​

Moore and Howe will get the benefit of the early-season bye to fully recover ahead of round three. McInnes is still at least a fortnight away from returning from a knee reconstruction. Charlie West could be considered after a slow start to the season by Collingwood's three key forwards across the first fortnight.

Gotta bring West in, lets see what the kid can do, i'd drop McStay and Membery and put Howe in the forward line, it won't happen, but at least bring West in for McStay and Moore in for Allan, if Howe is under done, give him more time.

They still graded it as a bump though. I think it's ridiculous, the other bloke instigated the clash - not allowed to brace for contact?

It’s time to debut Steene. He would offer the same as Buller/Mcstay, and can develop his ruck game.

I'm barracking for the white team at training from now on - let's get rid of all the men in black.

Okay - so this is my preferred option for the forward line.

I have said previously i don't believe Cameron is an amazing tap ruckman from the middle. His strengths are his contested marking and around the ground ruck-work.

When it mattered last season, Cox was brought into the team to provide a focal point and provide a consistent ball drop for our smalls. It also helped out Checkers and McStay.

I would move Cameron to play significantly more up forward. Cameron has the height, is good at holding front position and is a great mark and has some forward craft from when he first started. Cameron does not get out marked that often so would bring the ball to ground as a worst case scenario.

McStay then becomes the second banana which suits him more. The third spot is then Buller/West (That should allow both a proper chance to succeed). That means dropping Membrey and bringing in Steene to ruck.

I would then have the remaining forwards as Schultz/Beau, Harrison/Sullivan, and Elliott/De Goey.

That way Moore and Howe can sure up the defence and get our intercept game going. I would only bring one of Moore and Howe for GWS. Too risky to play both imo from an injury perspective.

Will Smith isn’t a good clubman I agree

 

[Tista7000]

In: Steene, West, Moore
Out: Mcstay, Membrey, Ed

Steene to help DC out, West deserves a crack and Moore is a no brainer.

Mcstay has done nothing since the prelim in 2023, doesn’t think fast enough and can’t take contested marks.

Membrey looks lost half the time but if picking between Mcstay and Membrey I’d lean towards keeping Membrey.

Ed isn’t a winger, not sure why they keep trying it. Is only good game for us when he was on ball.

I think poor Charlie is going to be disappointed again.

No doubt we’ll go in with the same 3 lol.

 

[TradeDraft]

Why is everyone Desperate to put Howe Forward?

Sadly I think that what will happen espically not played since Ballarat and won't in 2 weeks in VFL vs GWS

Doubt he be brought in Cold

My Opinion still the he Has/Should Play

Fly also he backs the Experience Players

Because every time he plays a game in the backline he gets injured maybe a move forward could help him?
