Strategy Changes vs Pies.

[Dancing Potato]

Think it should be J Smith in for Lever. I don't trust Frosty on the big stage, he could so some ****ing tragic things.

I missed the 2nd quarter and listened to the rest on the radio in the car. Do we have any other injuries to deal with?

 

[Scythe]

I’m already having nightmares about Frost.

 

[Andy_Mac]

Weid in for Lever and TMAC to the backline

 

[CTHORANGE]

Weid in for Lever and TMAC to the backline

I'd like to think we would try our backup KPD in Frost before doing this, otherwise there would be no reason to having Frost on the list

I feel confident that we'll go with one of Frost, Petty, Keilty, J.Smith or even Wagner before we'd move TMac away from the role he's in right now.

 

[Dancing Potato]

TMac to the backline? Absolutely not! He's been the most important player in our winning streak, with his flexibility between wing and forward, athleticism and contested marking. Would completely gut our structure to move him back.

 

[CTHORANGE]

Forgot about Petty, could be worth a try certainly. Wagner, NO, seriously, no.

 

[TheCount]

Wagner, NO, seriously, no.

Indeed, he was to emphasise how remote a chance I see TMac moving to defence is.

 

[Blackas87]

Would love to see Petty if he's ready

 

[wowlace]

Tmac stays forward at all cost. Would soon send Hogan back than Tmac.

 

[CTHORANGE]

Anyone know if Pedersen as ever had a run in defence at Casey? Can't really imagine him being much good down there, but then he does seem to slot in wherever we've needed him

You're right. There is no point to frost

 

[CTHORANGE]

You're right. There is no point to frost

I don't agree, he has athleticism and speed, works had and likes a tackle. Strong enough but questions still remain about his ability to contest the high ball and to make good choices with the ball in hand. But Omac was the same with his decision making last year, and he has come on leaps and bounds, as have many others, perhaps Frost can do the same

 

[Andy_Mac]

Tmac stays forward at all cost. Would soon send Hogan back than Tmac.

Yeah I retract my statement.

Terrible for team balance

The difference being last year OMAC was 21, Frost is about to turn 25.

Frost is horrible 1v1 and is a liability with the ball in hand.

Played a heap of defence at Casey.

Again it won't be a slow lumbering type.

Petty or JSmith for mine

 

[Sylvia Saint]

I'd rather bring Tom Gillies out of retirement for a game than see TMac move back.

 

[saj_21]

Playing pederson down back would be just shoe-horning him into a spot. He has lost some leg speed which is what is costing him a spot in the seniors. Collingwood aren’t overly tall in the forward line their top 3 goal kickers are Hoskin-Elliot, Thomas and degoey

One of our mid size defenders from Casey will do the job

 

[Crusty Demon]

I thought Petty as soon as Lever went down. With Hibberd and Jetta in fine form now, I think Petty can come in for a few weeks and let's see. I like Joel Smith, but I feel we need two genuine KPD's. Frost is rubbish..

 

[Cannon82]

Yeah I retract my statement.

Terrible for team balance

I assumed you were joking...

TMac and Hogan back, OMac forward.

 

[Headless]

I assumed you were joking...

TMac and Hogan back, OMac forward.

Queen's Birthday is the perfect stage for an OMac bag. I can feel it.

 

[Creepen]

8 days rest is needed by the looks of it. Great effort to win by as much as we did

Out: Lever , T Smith, spargo (thought he was important early but still quite)
In: Hunt, Garlett and pedo or Weideman

No more than three changes

 

[lanky_wes]

I'd rather bring Tom Gillies out of retirement for a game than see TMac move back.

I would rather Lever play on one leg then Gillies wear the red and blue again

 

[deeman87]

Anyone but Frost seriously. Been watching games from earlier in the season and he was a big reason our backline was so poor early on in the year. Constantly running to the wrong spots and leaving his man at the wrong time.

In: Hunt and a tall that's not Frost.
Out: Lever and Smith if he's injured

Also crazy to move TMac out of the forward line he has to be down there at least some of the time. He and Jessie are the most lethal combo in the league right now.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Maybe time for another QB debut in Petty Officer.

We'll have to assume/prepare the worst on Lever Make a tweak in our game-plan sans Lever.
