If only someone had suggested a way to clarify

Preview - Round 6: Collingwood vs Essendon - Anzac Day Clash - Tuesday 25th April 3:20pm - Preview, Changes and Thoughts

It's reasonable to just write 'prediction' before the team. Unless I want to trick you all...

Got me Kong.

This is one of the reasons you should be in charge.

 

[the PILL]

Will the team selection be out today?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Feel better with Flip in.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Will the team selection be out today?

Yep.

 

[owen87]

Will the team selection be out today?

Out: Laverde (inj)
In: Phillips

Weideman in defence.

 

[gillon]

Their strength (contested ball and clearance) is our weakness.

That being said, would not be surprised to see us hold a steady lead only for a bad umpiring decision to give them a goal and completely change the momentum.

 

[TheGrizz]

Interesting that Lobb doesn't come back in with Darcy out.

I imagine Ridley goes to Naughton, has done the job on him in the past, Laverde to Ugle-hagan provided he is fit.

 

[mike14]

I didn't watch much of the Cats debacle, but surely Menzie a bit stuff to be omitted based on his season's body of work?

 

[Hamez]

Menzie sub?

 

[naraku]

Menzie a bit stiff? I didn't see last week's debacle but he seemed to be tracking OK

 

[BomberTime]

Not sure Menzie deserves to be the scapegoat from that debacle.

 

[Petrify]

Feel we're too tall and Cox will end up being sub with Davey on the ground

 

[andleanback]

Not sure about menzie getting the axe. Happy that Cox is back in. Rotations will be interesting with 2 rucks and where we decided to play cox. Presume menzie will be the sub.

 

[citizen-erased]

Wonder if this is last chance saloon on finals front with the seniors preferred over the kids (weid aside)

Lose this, do we revert to bringing tsatas, davey, baldwin, tex and menzie in for the year?

Overall not unhappy with the changes. But menzie is stiff.

 

[ant555]

Think Cox will actually play CHF and one of the rucks will spend a percentage forward.

 

[Vindicater]

Sigh.

Sure. Let's drop one of the only guys who provides pressure forward of the ball.

Why would it be last chance saloon with finals. You do realise we play eagles and north b2b coming up.

 

[Duckworth]

Sigh.

Sure. Let's drop one of the only guys who provides pressure forward of the ball.

I feel like the club try to balance the decisions, by adding in a s**t axing of Menzie with a good axing of Weiderman.

 

[84859300]

Think Cox will actually play CHF and one of the rucks will spend a percentage forward.

Is that beacuse what they've doen previously... or just a gut feel?

 

[ant555]

Is that beacuse what they've doen previously... or just a gut feel?

Based on them playing Cox at CHF in the VFL last time out and him now at full fitness and one of the players who has the running power.

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon Menzie could be a chance for a late change for a sore Stringer.

 

[Beerfish]

I'd like to get a look at all the Nicks in the team together at some stage.

 

[Beerfish]

Reckon Menzie could be a chance for a late change for a sore Stringer.

I reckon that's possibly a good call.

 

[the PILL]

I wonder what B.Scott is seeing with Menzie that we don't see.

To me we look a bit lethargic without him laying down his manic pressure up forward and he usually scores too...

Glad they pulled the trigger on Weid finally, it wasn't helping anyone playing him until he gets some form and confidence back.
