You live and learn young Whipper SnapperHaha...that explains it...I knew I had to be doing something wrong
Jonbe has learnt more than everyone on the planet if we go by those rules, the dude's 152 years old.
The one area I thought we struggled with tonight was who to direct our long bombs into the 50 to if Mihocek wasn’t presenting or was out of position.
We have had Cox for the majority of the season and then Roughead because Bucks wanted to maintain the structure. For this reason I can see Reid getting selected.

Going in with just 1 tall forward is workable with de Goey in the lineup but without him Reid must come in to provide a physical presence and a legitimate key forward target.
The longer the game went on without de Goey the more we struggled to find a marking target and this was only amplified with our go slow approach in the last quarter.

I don't care if De Dog is in a wheelchair, he plays.

I don't think JDG had a hammy to start with, he IMO has OP, he had no power tonight, wait and see I guess.
I had it when I played, campaigner of a thing, you feel right but when push comes to shove you just can't move normally.
Not sure of the current rules but quaterzone injection is the best, to my knowledge they are illegal though and extremely painful.

Obviously they will base changes on who we play and it will be different ins depending on the opponent.
But on first impressions if DeGoey is ruled out, you go with Reid as we do need another tall helping out Mihocek up forward. If Reid isn’t fit, then Shaz comes in and Roughead moves forward.
For Greenwood it’s Aish or Shaz depending on what they decide to do above.

Levi was in career best form in the past few months... absolutely devastated if he has done an ACL. Forget about finals, anything other than a career ending injury would be a great result as he recently re-signed for 2020. Hoping for the best for him.

Shattered for him, heart and soul player and severely underrated, shattered for the team as well, this weakens us substantialy.
He held us together tonight, did some amazing shiat and IMO without him we would've lost.
Some will still call for his head without knowing his injury, frustrating.
He showed what real men do tonight, courage, you can't teach that, he learnt it though. Frank tips his hat to you Levi!.

Agree, was one of our best early. Didn't even notice him limp off or otherwise
Yep forgot him
We have some seriously good cattle avaialble
In Reid, Shaz/Aish
I hope they dont drop anybody but Brown and Thomas were down a bit last night.
Shiz votes with his likes and dislikes, nothing to see here and moving on.

Let's hope so Dave, I don't care what anyone says, if Levi didn't play tonight we lose, Aish is OK but he doesn't have Levi's experience.
Greenwood is very replaceable despite his impeccable form and we have two quality candidates to choose from to do that.
Buckley has set up a list that can cope with setbacks like this.

This. Aish, Scharenberg and even Madgen could seamlessly come into this 22 to replace Greenwood. A midfielder could also come in easily and Mayne could go back. As much as this is a terrible situation for Greenwood, it wont stop Collingwoods charge.
Same applies for De Goey. Reid is a great replacement and in fact structurally hes probably an uograde.

Talkin about da fact dat Brown barely touched it till he went into the midfield. Moment he went forward again he disappeared. No impact at all.
I disagree, you need his explosiveness. If his hammy is strained he won’t be able to play out a game. I suspect they rest him and hope for a grand final. Unless it was cramp or something less sinister. Wait and see I guess.
How many injure prone players can we afford to take into knock out final? One key contributor to victory will be finishing with 22 fit players.
Nope...think of Dusty in last year's Prelim.
You dont worry about "injury prone" as a factor at selection. The are either available for selection or they arent. If they are fit they are available for selection. Pretty simple formula.
If DeGoey isnt fit then Reid comes in. Structurally he gives Mihocek more freedom and also releives Roughead of ruck duties.
Aish or Scharenbeg to replace Greenwood, depending upon matchups and selection strategy
And another will be for an 'injury prone' player to tear the opposition backline a new a-hole when they are trying to get level.
Generalizations are never a good idea.
