Dees vs Pies this week

[Vinnie Vegas]

Uh, since when is Licuria a forward, and since when are Dale Thomas and Scott Pendlebury first rung midfielders?

Try this for the midfield:

White > Fraser
Green = O'bree
Mclean < Burns
Johnstone < Buckley
Mcdonald < Licuria
Davey > Lockyer

Looks like it's 3-2 in Collingwood's favour.

It's fun to manipulate matchups on paper...

Oh, and you couldn't be more delusional with that defense.

Presti is significantly better than Carroll. Carroll has improved, but he's still not as good as Presti.

And Rivers = Clement? If Rivers EVER gets to as good as Clement is right now, you'd be ecstatic.

The midfields matchups atm:


The Backlines:

Carroll>Prestigiacoma
Rivers=Clement
[/B]

These two comparisons made me laugh! Clement is the best defender in the league. Don't make this silly comparison.

I don't know much about Carrol but Presti is the best stopper in the game!

These demons supporters coming onto the Magpies forum and making these stupid comments is quite funny.

Next they'll be saying that Buckley isn't any good. IDIOTS!

I actually think Fraser has been a lot better than White this year, though I'd still expect White to beat him in the hitouts.

 

[rick James]

Burns>Mclean
Licuria>Pickett
Johnson>Johnstone
Buckley>Bruce

I think you're wrong on every single one of those.

Burns has had a better career than McLean so far, no doub,t but McLean is 20 and in better form.

Pickett and Lica, well, I'm a big fan of Licuria's so I'd say about even. But one thing is for sure, in 40 years time people will still know who Pickett was, can't say the same about Licuria.

Johnson is like Diet Johnstone. Johnstone is just, quite simply, on a different level.

Buckley has been a better player than Bruce - but then, I don't think it takes Einstein to work that out. But bruce is better through the midfield at this point in time considering Buckley's age.

Let'a also not forget that we also have the following guys through the middle:

McDonald (in the last month has been in the top 4 players in the league according to Champion Data).

White (no need to really explain how good White can be)

Green (good player)

Bartram (been a great tagger for us this year)

Bate ) you will see what this kid can do on Monday)

Serious? Fraser hadn't done bugger all until the WCE game.

I tihnk we're all taking this a bit too far.

You're right about Clement, I love Rivers, he is the general of our backline, but Clement is a seasoned veteran, he knows the game inside out and is far more experienced than Rivers (experience imo is the main thing that makes a backman either good OR great)

demondude underrated Robertson though.

 

[rick James]

Presti will keep Nietz to 1 or 2. Thats a goof match up for Presti, don't expect Nietz to have a big influence.

We'll see, Hudgton iss considered one of the AA candidates and Neitz kicked 8 on him.

But I do rate Presti as a stopper. I'm not expecting Neitz to kick anymore than 3. I'm hoping our goals come from the midfield as it usually means we win.

 

[Major Colvin]

Johnson is like Diet Johnstone. Johnstone is just, quite simply, on a different level.

[demondude]

lol loved the reactions!
here are some changes:

Robbo>Licuria
presti is better than carroll, but in no way the best stopper!
Clement is better atm than rivers, though the way rivers is progressing he will be as good if not better when he comes clements age.

and btw the comparisons are the positions posted on the lineups, which is unlikely they will be the real matchups anyways

 

[Nesian]

Robbo>Licuria???......seriously LICURIA PLAYS IN THE MIDFIELD. ROBBO PLAYS IN THE FORWARD LINE SO OF COURSE ROBERTSON IS A BETTER FORWARD...jeez dumkopf....wouldnt that comparison be Robbo>Tarrant(not my opinion, like both players)

Yeah ok rick james, your correct about Clement vs. Rivers...but that is prehaps why Clement is better then Rivers because of experience, that said I totally agree Rivers is the clement of melbourne, i like him alot good player, in my dream team along with Yze, White, Robertson and Miller. Melbourne is my defacto team (due to my brothers support for them). But all that said, as much as I respect melboune and love to see them in good form, I really hope Collingwood wins this monday, should be a great game.

 

[oooze]

Mclean did his hammy at training. isnt playing. there's the good game gone right throughout the window...unless u lose a.rocca which is mcleans equivalent in terms of value to the team.

 

[Jabso]

McLean will be as missed as much as Swan will. Both are in red hot form but both teams have the depth in the midfield to cover them.

i'm sick of the who's > than who... This is not tennis, this is football (a team sport)..
