, Dev Robertson(sub in round 4), Jaspa Fletcher.

Kai Lohmann or a tall also a possibility to come in instead of Robertson/Fletcher.
____________________________________________
Interesting to note that Gunston also played in our win over the Demons in round 2 in which Fort and O both played as well, probably our 2 best wins of the season... with a 3 tall forward set up and one of them with 2 dedicated rucks as well.

 

[Dalions]

If the game ends up a bit of a shoot out, both teams score over 100 points I think Collingwood will probably get the better of us.
But if we can keep them to under 80 points it might be our best chance to win the game. Forward and Midfield pressure is the key to winning this one imo.

I would be happy for Fort or Fullarton to be the Sub but I would probably just go for Fletcher to replace Gunston in the starting team and Kiddy for Prior.

We then have Rayner and AhChee to float as the third talls and also a bit of time on ball for both.

If we find ourselves in front in the last quarter we make the change and atleast then we will have an extra tall down the line when we inevitably revert to the down the line playing style to slow the game down.

 

[Thomasno]

The Pies board has been surprisingly super respectful to us. Rare to see an opposition supporter base rate us that highly even more than our own fans.

It’s because we’re the only team that really tore them apart all year. They’ve had a couple close losses, and the hawks game they probably fell into a similar trap we did with them, but they played pretty well and did what they wanted to and we just crushed them.

Don’t think that’ll happen this week, but that would be why they respect us.

Pies had issues in forward line back then - no Elliott, McStay had to ruck coz all their rucks were injured etc.

In comparison now they don't have DeGoey, Hill, Moore and Daicos. I'll take the outs this round compared to round 4 thanks.

From the games I have watched of theirs, Collingwood's forwards seem to be more accurate than ours.

McStay is their only real tall, with the rotating ruck coming in/out, but all the other forwards play as smalls and can kick them from anywhere. Going to be interesting to see who Starce plays on out of the lot of them.

This observation is only from watching 3-4 games over the season, but I agree, don't want this game to end up as a shootout.

Elliot played in that game.
Didn’t kick straight but played.
They also had a bit of disruption that week due to someone from the Lions (apparently) leaking photos of Jack Crisps D?#!

Mihocek is probably their Genuine tall but I agree he plays more like a small.
Our defenders will have to be prepared to run.

Elliot actually played kicked three behinds I believe. But yes McStay was mostly rucking with the odd period in the forward line.

Love 28's reaction to it. Gets stepped and just stopped. As if to say 'get ****ed, he can't be doing that.'

 

[McIvor]

Is Noah no longer injured either / wasn’t on the injured list this week?

 

[KissKiss]

Pretty sure Elliot's behinds were weirdly inaccurate for a guy who is genuinely a great set shot. You'd have backed him to nail those shots 8/10

Think he might have even kicked one out on the full.
His radar was definitely off that night, we won’t get that luxury again on Friday night.

 

[Dalions]

He isn’t on the injury list anymore so hopefully he plays in the VFL this week.

 

[Nathan Barley]

He's still listed as a week away

 

[Pride of lions]

Does anyone know what has happened to Carter Michael, just seems to have disappeared off the radar? Last I remember he was out with a quad strain but that was months ago.

 

[Dalions]

Fort was on the plane today flying with the group.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fort was on the plane today flying with the group.

Might just be the tall travelling emergency

Would rather Fullarton get a chance

 

[M Malice]

Fort was on the plane today flying with the group.

Very hard to tell what they are going to do, equally possible that they go Fort as the extra tall for Gunston or he is the sub as Fages would hate to be caught out if a tall goes down during the game. We will find out in 1 hour.

I am hoping Fort is the sub or just a travelling emergency... they take 25 for away trips.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Lions by 17 pts after being up by 30 pts at 3Q time.

 

[Dalions]

Lions by 17 pts after being up by 30 pts at 3Q time.

I’m gonna say, in front by 17 at 3/Q time and win by 30.
Am I dreaming

 

[Squizz89]

Kiddy’s back. Gunston and Prior out. Fletcher back in run on team.

Emergencies interesting. Lyons, Gardiner, Tunstill and Fort.

Do we just assume it’ll be Fort?

 

[Dalions]

Why is Gunston still listed

 

[LIONS08]

Bit shattered for Sharp! Would like to see him given a run on the wing. Seems to be in great form in the twos!

Someone forgot to remove Jack …

Edit. Fages just can’t let go?
