Preview Round 10: Brisbane Lions v Collingwood

[Schraderbrau]

If you ever go to South Australia for an away game against Port Adelaide, that question answers itself.

As much as I hate the scum, Port fans are much more feral

hey leave our sister club alone

 

[Schraderbrau]

The matchup I'm looking most forward to is Mayne v Frost

This game is basically battle of the midfields though.

Normally look forward to the Pies at the G, via the Royal Richmond for a dozen pre game pots jugs; but I just can't get excited about it this time around.

Dream big?

It's no lie when they say watching two stalwarts going head to head is worth the price of admission.

Mayne playing NEAFL is he?

 

[jackess]

I wonder if Hipwood needs a rest. I can't see him playing more than 18 games. A couple of weeks off will freshen him up. Plus Freeman played well against the Giants.

Maybe in a few years after he's finished earning over a million dollars to play in Collingwoods reserves.

I wouldn't rest him yet. Think the MCG suits him quite well. in hindsight maybe should have rested him on the SCG

I guess ultimately they are still trying to win games. So team selection will be determined by who is most likely to be able to help win games of footy.
I still think he is the most likey of any of our key forwards to kick a bag. Except maybe Freeman who does have the ability to kick a few when first recalled. But then tends to drift a bit.
We have the bye next week i think it would be unlikely for him to be rested this week.
I would be resting Martin this week.

I can't see Hipwood playing 22 games though. He'll likely need a rest or will burn out like Schache last year.

prob West Coast game would be a good opportunity for a rest.

I agree. Just hope the other boys can show something, in the mean time.
Just not sure what a Freeman, Close and Hammer forward line looks like. Or do we just stick with Hammer and close and bring in Cox or Reuben (rookie) as a smaller pressure forward.

I was thinking if it reduced the chances of Rocky re-injuring his shoulder maybe he could play forward when he comes back into the team

Need him at clearances, though if we don't win it he doesn't run back as hard as he does fwd.

But he is a clever small fwd and we don't have a fit one.

If his shoulder is 100% of course he'd play midfield but it would surely reduce the risk of another dislocation playing forward for a couple of weeks while he builds up some strength.

He is on the field he runs the risk.

 

[jackess]

Yes but I'd say less contests, less risk.

 

[Shaq attack]

I think this will be the game that really ruins our season. Collingwood will win by 40+ in a dour game with very little excitement.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Yes but I'd say less contests, less risk.

Collingwood has priors when it comes to specifically targeting Brisbane players with suspect shoulders. In Grand Finals, anyway.

 

[Schraderbrau]

not sure if he'd be good enough tbh

He won't play for 2 more weeks. So yes the Freo game.
