Preview Round 1, 2019: Collingwood vs Geelong - Pregame discussion

[TradeDraft]

When sides come out?

 

[Maggie5]

Anyone know why entrances 5,6,7 will be closed at MCG parking? Seems only 3 is open for mobility holders.

I can't remember (don't think I have taken any notice TBH) which entrance we go in but it is the one near gate 1.

Tried to look for a bigger map but only see ones of the MCG and not parking.

When sides come out?

Normally around 6:25pm. I think it ties in with channel 7’s sports news.

 

[Jen2310]

Greenwood out.

Callum Brown in.

Roughead in. Moore. Elliot. Beams. Aish.

[Magpies27]

Teams are out, wish the bear was in for Brown but I trust the coaches

 

[Moore of the Same]

Brown in over the Pig and Bear.. interesting

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Surprised by Greenwood's exclusion.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Callum Brown to be the inside role of ...

Can’t even bring myself to say it.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

I think I made my point

 

[TradeDraft]

Hopefully not playing Greenwood does not mean Selwood has a Huge Game with no Tagger

Surprised by Greenwood's exclusion.

Me too. I was confident that Brown would play but had a feeling that Mayne would be the one to miss out.

I'm delighted with that team, even though I'm a bit concerned that with Adams and Sier out we're still don't look like tagging Selwood. We might struggle at the coal face.

Its gonna be hard for places once Adam's and WHE are back I would assume they would come in for Brown and maybe Aish perhaps mayne aswell could make room for someone like the bear

Can’t put a face to almost half the side the cats named, that’s a good sign right?

Surprised Brown is in over Greenwood and Sier (I don’t believe Sier is injured if he’s named emergency)

At least we finally have a FB and CHB

Think of the forward options:

• Big Cox
• De Goey
• Stephenson
• Thomas
• Mihocek
• some guy named Elliott

with floating cameos of Beams, Treloar, Sidebottom, Varcoe

Scary

Sier is not injured, not no more.

He may (or may not) have had a niggle of sorts.

Will earn his way back, no doubt.

 

[Soups]

Very solid team. Bring on tomorrow!

They have 4 debuts, 3 kids 2 from the 2017 draft 1 from the 2018 draft and a mature age recruit, plus o'connor has only played 7 games and Henry and parfitt have played 22 games and 34 games respectively so they are definitely inexperienced from an afl perspective, makes me feel like the game will be close till half way through the 3rd quarter and after that I feel like we will pull away a little bit and end winning by like 20-25 points just hoping for a good game really

 

[FireKrakouer]

Looks like a strong arse team! Particularly relative to what we have put out in the past when devastated by injuries. Not many weak links in there.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I'm glad we didn't go the sentimental route re: Goldsack.

 

[jonbe54]

Perhaps this Greenwood thing is the first glimmer of a new Collingwood game plan that is PRO-active rather than RE-active. Tagging Selwood is a hoot but with that forward line of ours we may be backing ourselves to smash them on the scoreboard and forget about negating them.

I hope so because I surely hate negative team play, give me a constructive and aggressive team plan and I'm a happy camper.
