Changes

i must have been watching a different game. it was mcveigh watson rama in the midfield with ryder up forward that was getting them back in the game of the back of hille's dominance in the ruck.

You must have been, because Henry was supreme in the third quarter, with those you mentioned.

and i dont rate swan as there best midfielder i think lockyer has been there best this year.

Going into the game, Swan led the Pies in disposals.
Over the last two years he has been their best midfielder and his skills are much more damaging than Lockyer.

Swan sets them up, he's their linkman, he's their Stanton and historically when he's had a quiet game, so have Collingwood. He'd be their first tagged player most weeks and Slattery did a great job taking him out of the game.

Lockyer was running around getting cheap kicks on an unaccountable Monfries.

He's still injured, might be back this week, but even if he is back this week he'll be playing for Bendigo since it's his first game back from injury.

Your so stupid!!! Sheedy has been trying to get him in all year, he will have 2 risk it. Anyway, he is so fit that he can probably come back 2 form straight away.

Would be great to see Dempsy in the team on the weekend but you would think that he must have a game or two in the reserves. But then again Sheedy is desperate and may have to play him.

Then why did Sheeds send him to the back to the 2's last time he was injured? It's the same situation as now except earlier on in the season. If Sheeds has been so desperate to play Dempsey this year then why wasn't he brought into the side last time instead of sending him back to the 2's? Yes im sure if we brought him into the senior side, "because he's so fit" he could just return to the sensational form when he was dominating the VFL rolleyes after missing how many weeks of the season?

I feel so bad. I havn't missed a H&A game in Melbourne since 1998, and I have an Indoor Cricket Grand Final at 2:30pm on this Sunday afternoon. I can't go to the Adelaide game. I feel so stressed about it, but there's nothing I can do. Ditching the GF would be a Dogs act.

I knew the day would come. It was inevitable. I was hoping to make the streak 10 years, though. Bummer.

Good effort!!!

Really? Not that I watch a lot of Collingwood but I would have thought Lockyer is one of their best kicks?

And mark me down as a supporter of Slats as a third term hero.

Yeah, but I feel bad. I feel like I should be at the game. You know that feeling you get when something is not quite right? That's how I feel. It's going to be very disconcerting not being there, but I know that playing the Grand Final is the right thing to do. My teammates would kill me*

*especially considering I'm the best player

That is a fair effort.

How many parties on Friday/Saturday nights have you skipped to keep this streak going?

Just a couple of things here before you call people stupid.
To start with he wasnt in great form in the games he played for Bendigo early this year.
Secondly Sheedy hasnt ever said he was close to senior selection this year. He has always said it will be good when the likes of Demspey ,Jetta and co are fit enough to add speed to the side.
Thirdly he has only joined in full training recently and he isnt so fit he can play seniors. He will need a couple of games for Bendigo.

I suppose there have been a few, but usually with 21st's, I'd just turn up after the game.

But this week feels strange. I feel like I should be there and I won't be, and it's a bad feeling. When I missed a game in '98 after a long run before that I felt the same. I think playing the cricket Grand Final is the right thing to do, though.
