Autopsy Round 16 vs Collingwood Magpies @ The Bank - 01/07/23 - 4:35pm

[Big Red Machine]

I don't want to have to stay paying for therepy again, Daddy BRM needs his sportsball dopamine

 

[Emerald Sun]

Poor first game against Bloos after the bye.
Better game against Hawks but definitely not good.
So, all in on beating the Pies by a point at the Bank next week.
Hope we can break even with the crowd

 

[SandyToes]

I'm away with school hols but The Bank will be rocking
Predicting biggest ever crowd
Let's pull off a massive Bank Heist

 

[kreglze]

I still think we are a big win short of finals, if we can somehow pull this out that would go a long way to righting our season.

 

[Southern Sun]

Lemmens probably the only change considered, unless touk recovers of course.

 

[Freznel68]

Was in the Chairman’s Club for the game. Touk spoke for a few minutes. Said he is still a couple of weeks away from playing but running well with the team in training.

Dare I say it...is this a mini GF, or the grand final for our season?
Have to snag this one, because it's at the bank. Far less confident against Port in Adelaide the following week.

 

[supernova_]

Couple positives leading in
we have a fairly well functioning forwardline. Attention all seems to be towards King, however Luko and Casboult doing a lot of the damage. Other than Moore, do they have the height to go with one of these? Maynard to Luko? Not sure of the matchups here.
De Goey and Sidebum out naturally helps us.
We're strong in clearances and quite good to see Ned get a few CBA and perform last night.

Negative
The tall forward line and putting forward pressure on the pace out of Collingwood, funnily this was a real highlight locking in our F50 against Hawks and repeat entries (albeit shit bombs in some instances)

 

[SandyToes]

Lemmo back in to lock down a Daicos?

 

[supernova_]

Lemmo back in to lock down a Daicos?

Yeah I think that works, then Ando to the other Daicos.
Mitchell v Rowell
Swallow v Pendlebury

If NDaicos is half back or wing, another matchup I think could be Ainsworth? Has good pace, and 2nd efforts

 

[KaySwizzle]

Lemmo back in to lock down a Daicos?

Could put Holman on Daicos. He did a good lockdown role earlier in the year.

Lemmo is possible to come back though, but he and Daicos (Nick?) should mostly be at opposite ends, so not sure he’d be an ideal choices there. He did play more mid last week though (maybe in absence of a few first choice mids).

 

[Supersuns]

If Daicos plays mid which I think he does, put Rowell straight on him. And make Daicos accountable. He works very hard in attack but not as hard the other way. Rowell should punish him at stoppage.

Isn’t Howe back? Would he go to Luko?

 

[SandyToes]

Yeah I think that works, then Ando to the other Daicos.
Mitchell v Rowell
Swallow v Pendlebury

I would probably utilise Holman in any meaningful lockdown role other than Lemmo
We have to be reaching the stage where our matchups are winning ball and creating rather than just negating
Most of the horribleness at Heritage yesterday was because Hawthorn decided they didn't want to lose by much and just played negative footy
We have to be better than that

I didn't see the Collingwood v Adelaide game, who or what type of player did Howe play on?
Adelaide's forward line is pretty stacked, they were just ordinary against us and an off day with which we were able to punish them in Darwin.

Didn’t see the whole game but he can play against taller opponents.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

First game I don’t expect to win since Brisbane so gonna just enjoy the game for what it is.

Daicos gonna be hard to stop, best to rough him up early, he’ll play thru the guts and slice us up. Up to our boys to win the ball before he touches it.

We’ve been poor starters for a month now so don’t expect much to change, once the slippery conditions kicks in, we adjust a lot quicker than our opposition, (dogs, crows, hawks) expecting the same tight contest with the pies.

We gotta somehow win this game or the port game, can’t afford 2 losses in a row

We might bring in frampton given the talls, he should have played on the weekend tbh, but with three genuine talls, and Moore the only one over 195cm that played on sunday, don't think the pies can risk doing that again. Yes Maynard and Howe play taller than they are, but this is what we recruited Frampton for.

I'd imagine McCreery comes back into the 22, given his pace and pressure.

 

[Young_Guns]

We win this or the Brisbane game, we play finals. Probably the highest stakes couple of games we’ve ever had this late in the year. Will tell a lot about the character of this team.

Holman to follow NDaicos around all day. The only player Dew would trust to do the job across the ground.

Yeah 100% this week is a rolled gold Mini GF.
This is a huge opportunity. Sure we are unlikely to win but if we are to get over the misery hump then we find a way to get a most famous of famous GF wins.
So there is no resting of players, you play the hardest players and you if necessary you needle players in order to have the best 22.
And us fans need to show up and be a tad feral. We are too nice. Once again we let the VFL umpires yesterday give us a very hard disadvantage to overcome.
You will have a bunch of nasty entitled animals who go to one game a year at the match in black and white who have a long history of turning a blind eye to racism.
They are a truly despicable organisation.

Get out the streamers, cancel everything, this is the one.

Mini GF on the GC.
See you again post game.

 

[GC2015]

After seeing how reactive and bipolar the media is from week-to-week based on our results, I'm now convinced we need to pull off a big upset for it to change. Honourable losses like the one to the Demons won't cut it. We need a big upset win to hang our hat on when people attempt to default back to their former opinion of our club.

This feels like our best chance to pull off a big upset. The Pies' last three weeks have included a 4-point loss to the Demons, a bye and an unconvincing 2-point win over the Crows at the MCG. Collingwood also seem to be scoring less at the moment than they have in the past which may have to do with not having De Goey. They haven't looked this vulnerable for a while and we get them on our home ground in front of what should be a sell out crowd. We couldn't really ask for a better stage to pull off a big upset and, if we're lucky, a win in this one could move us into the top 8.

If we managed to beat the pies and port, 99% of the footy world would be riding us to make finals!

Destiny is in our hands

 

[Jen2310]

I see there isn't many tickets left. Just single level 2 seats.
I would have attempted to fly up, but flights are just too expensive.

 

[Cochblocked]

Massive game. Even if we lose, we can't lose percentage. The Hawks game undid the week before but with Geelong and Adelaide on 110+ and the Crows still to play West Coast again, we can't afford a 30-50 point loss

 

[Supersuns]

We just have to win if we want to make finals.
We have fumbled at every opportunity this year so far to stamp ourselves as a contender. Praying that this week is different. The biggest Mini GF in the clubs history.
