Game Day Round 10 vs. Adelaide, MCG, 1:45pm Sat 18/05

[Mick F]

He hasn't looked close to a debut in the VFL games I have watched but what would I know.

Coach encouraging a young bloke, so he keeps at it rather than despairing.

Start De Goey at FF which helps negate the need for a tall to replace Howe. Schultz in for Bytel. Harrison remains after recovering from injury. While the opposition last week wasn't much it was still a good win given the circumstances so rewarding those players and only making the 2 forced changes seems appropriate.

I’ve been thinking about JDG’s forward days a lot lately too, and I think it’s because we might need to start throwing him up there more

Just two changes
Schultz and Jordy in
Bytel and Howe out

I have anxious moments where I worry we might lose and then I remember that I won’t be wearing any Collingwood merch so we’ll be fine

Surely Harrison doesn’t play and Dean comes in.

I think HH is the sub off that but hope he plays full game

 

[Kirby]

Pies by 6 goals in a canter

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

2 great in's Harvey as sub is my prediction.

Watching the VFL has become irrelevant. Not only are they losing, but all our AFL listed players look ordinary until they play in the AFL...

VFL "form" is not the measure for selection. It's specific aspects of a player's preparation and performance. Things that will translate to the senior side, where much of VFL "form" does not.

eg. McRae in mentioning that Allan is close to a debut, mentioned his supreme fitness and running ability. This wouldn't necessarily show up in VFL performances but could make him useful as an AFL player in certain roles.

Harrison or Richards sub?

It's good to see that more and more supporters are embracing modern football and how things work today.

Great to get Jordy back and Sarge.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Excited to see how Richards, Sullivan and Fin go after great games last week, as well as Harrison if he plays. Have been really enjoying seeing the younger guys get games this year, good that they're being tested out at senior level due to the amount of players that are gonna be gone in a 2-3 years time.

Big game for Shooter as well, I'm praying for that breakout game soon.

Harrison or Richards sub?

Maybe HH, it's a tough one

Not so good to not see Kreuger in the team. Eventually our small line up will be exposed. Don't care so much about the sarge - I'd have given his spot to Richards if required.

Yes I realise all that. Been watching footy for a long time. I was being facetious.

Did you notice the emoji?

Yeah sorry, realised while posting that this might have been seen as condescending.

Edward will make many here look silly once he gets game time.

Same as WHE, Markov, Murphy, and Frampton did before him.
These players copped so much abuse. Include Cox and Cameron if you like.

Edward is the fittest player in the club. Possibly the fastest.
Fly sees it and so do I.
Get behind this boy!

 

[Lockyer24]

N Daicos would be close to the fittest in the comp, I doubt Edward is anywhere near him!

Kreuger has missed loads of football. Perhaps in a few weeks.
