Preview North v Pies round 15 pre game thread.

We'll give 'em a run at Etihad. Wouldn't be surprised if we win.

Shaw’s so far chosen Garner over Ahern and now Hayden over Ahern and MacMillan.
Seems those who can tackle and hit hard are getting a preference over those who kick chase.

Seems to want to build a side with a hard edge. I like it.

Which is great.

However I wonder whether it is one type on inflexibility to another.

I want someone who looks at the skill we have and creates balance.

Lack of run was a factor against GWS, let's see what happens against Collingwood.

Super pumped for Sat night now. We'll know 5 min in if we're in it to win it.

Good luck Hayden!!

Ok, a lightening trip to Melbourne & I have just got my ticket. Pumped.

This passionate shinboner will be roaring our lads to a glorious win on Level 2 Aisle 29.

Can. Not. Wait.

 

[AdmiralBenson]

I hope Hayden lays someone out.

Lack of run will be a factor against GWS because we lack run... but who could have come in - Hall, Scott, who else has the tank to run out a game and spread against elite GWS runners like Kelly? if hayden has been groomed and playing as a tagger then you'd think his ability to spread and cover opponents is okay.

Waussie what was his tank like as a kid? Did he spread hard from the contest and chase opponents down?

I thought Waussie was Kyron Hayden?

well that's kind of a given, at afl level, everyone can run but not necessarily tackle. Differences in tackling and running is probably bigger hence those who can bring pressure and physicality is given the thumbs up. I think we are playing to our strength which is playing with high degrees of physicality....

Why is durdin in the team, collingwood isn't known for their kp forwards, it's their little blokes that will do most of the damage.

Cox, Reid and Mihocek? Plus Thompson will probably go to De Goey

 

[franjon]

Kyron has been edging inexorably and painstakingly closer for a long time. It’s really great to see him finally included. He might prove to be a point of difference.

He isn't going to be the difference, but he might add some defensive pressure which you need against Collingwood.

F.....king wish at the moment. Before his long layoff from injury, no problem running out a game. I expect that he's getting back there or he wouldn't be picked. He's a footballer with a brain, That's his real talent.

I doubt he'd stay with him on the burst.

Would rather Pittard than Thommo.

De Goey is going to be problematic as Collingwoods major asset is creating mismatches. If the Pies forwards draw our defenders up the ground and isolate De Goey inside 50, then he's hard to combat from a pace/marking perspective.

The key to stopping Collingwood is to quell easy transition from defence, and through the middle. We also have to ensure they don't turn this game in to keepings off footy, which they will surely try to do.

I think DG will torch Pittard in the air

Quite possibly, although Jasper has shown up a few KPF sized players this year in that department.

 

[Passmore]

Thompson’s pretty crafty. I reckon he and Pittard will have DeGoey at some point.

 

[Bigeasy]

We are a chance if we bring the same heat

 

[Passmore]

As close to old style footy as you get tomorrow. Vic Park for the curtain raiser then off to Docklands for the main event

I say pressure first and then it creates space for players to run
