Strategy Changes vs Pies.

[Cannon82]

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.

This one's for you, Frosty...

 

[The Dr]

Reckon we'll have to play horses for courses for the rest of the year - against teams with only one big key forward, I can see Joel Smith being selected but we'll need Frost for teams like West Coast, North Melbourne etc.

 

[Dancing Potato]

#ChurchofNev and The Pig are both reasonable interceptors anyway. In fact, Nev totally massacred the Doggies I50s with his marking today. Just bring in J Smith to pick up the second tall and have one of our experienced players take up the intercepting role.

 

[LeverPuller]

Petty Officer has been ripping it up at Casey too IIRC.

 

[Proper Gander]

I assumed you were joking...

TMac and Hogan back, OMac forward.

I actually like it. I’m often considered crazy and I’ve never known why.

Also a chance for Hunt to come back in against smaller forward lines

 

[markm106]

I could see Frost coming in as he could more likely play on the taller players than Smith. Haven’t watched any VFL this year so not sure on Smith’s role there. I think Petty could be a good player but probably needs more time.

You people calling for Hannan and Nibbler to be replaced have no clue what you're talking about. They're not playing in the midfield, and they're not supposed to be racking up midfield numbers (though Nibbler is going close anyway). They're half forwards. It's the worst position on the field to be asked to play. You have to run harder there than in any other position (which means you're more fatigued when you get the ball, which increases the chance that you'll have a clanger of some sort, hence their disposals aren't quite as crisp as some of the pure mids).

Replacing ANB with Tyson is the most laughably crap idea I've ever heard. Yeah, let's remove our best two-way runner and forward 50 tackler and replace him with a slow, one sided midfielder. That'll work.

I was very touch-and-go on Hannan after Carlton - I felt that he was trying all the Hollywood moves and getting carried by everyone around him. He picked up a bit against Adelaide although was still probably worst on, but today it just clicked for him and he was awesome.

I know why they persist, but he can go very missing.

Joel Smith or Petty in for Lever. T. Smith looked a bit shitty with his ankle so would wonder if he gets up.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Smith was looking very good today. Likely type. Unlucky got him. Excited to see Petty in, should offer some consolation for Lever

 

[LeverPuller]

Actually you know who might get a crack if he performs tomorrow? Keilty. Same height and size on the dot, knows that roaming key back role very well.

 

[schmuttt]

Pedo for Smith (Not sure about that ankle)
Frost for Lever ( )

 

[Topkent]

I'm a bit torn. I think Frost would replace Omac but for Lever I wouldn't mind us grooming a younger bloke. Frost is a known quantity, would mind seeing if Joel Smith or Petty can make the step up.

I was thinking the same. Unknown quantity but by all accounts shows promise at vfl level

Not on Queen's Birthday, the game is too big for that IMO.

Frost for Lever
Pedo for Smith

 

[Sellout Scully]

Out: Lever (injured)
In: Petty

I have a really good feeling about this kid. I think this would be a good opportunity to get some games into him while we have a nice structure set up, and on VFL form he's justified to be in the mix for selection.

Plz don't let it be Wagner.

 

[Demon 16]

Frost in for Lever.

If anyone plays a blinder for Casey today, then I might be ok with giving Spargo a rest as well.

 

[saj_21]

Collingwood have a mid sized forward line. When Cox is in the ruck Mihocek is the next tallest at 192cm. The rest is made up of Wells de goey Hoskin-Elliot Thomas etc all around 180-190.

Either Wagner or hunt plays for Lever. Atm they are the highest poessesion winners for Casey.

Viney on the Sunday footy show said Frost, Keilty and Petty who's performing well at Casey are the guys likely to be in mix.

i'm not so sure. you probably need 2 talls to combat cox anyway. one to play on him and engage him to stop him jumping at it and the other to spoil over the top. 2 tall defenders is the right balance for the team. you don't want to be chopping and changing how many talls you play in defence every week to suit the oppo. you want to be keeping the back 6 solid as much as you can imo.

Only reason I called for ANB to come out is that I thought he was very fumbly with the ball, even though he got to the places he was meant to be.

 

[Tulip]

Pedo has 4 at 3QT. Surely in line to replace Smith who had 7 touches and 2 marks, particularly if the injury that kept him off the ground for a while is no good?

 

[dylan93]

Unfortunately Pedo just got knocked out and concussed...
