Preview Round 3, 2020: Collingwood v St.Kilda - MCG, Saturday 20th June, 4:35PM AEST

[Browny2Carlisle]

Good to see Marsh in! Huge weapon of a bloke who has explosive pace. Keeps the speed of the team nice and fast!

I don’t see much in Marsh. But would love to be proven wrong.

 

[BrutThough]

What a stupid decision to go even taller.

Taller, faster and more skillful

I don’t see much in Marsh. But would love to be proven wrong.

I saw him at Traralgon giving James Frawley a bit of a runaround. Seriously powerful athlete with some good footy smarts. I'm a bit surprised he's in with the other talls - thought he'd get a call up when we played one Ruckman. Tough match up for the Pies.

 

[sammm]

I’m not arguing he is Bonts level. I’m arguing that the piece of skill which we are seeing more and more from Hunter isn’t getting enough recognition. It’s literally a spearing right foot onto the tit. Continues running for a handball and then using his vision spots Steele, pulls his next kick on his non preferred mid sprint in traffic and perfectly executes.

It was an Elite execution of skills.

14/22 didnt play last week.

Insane amount of changes.

when was the collingwood v saints game last year?

 

[Impatient Saint]

Time will tell, but Marsh is not an over head tall he plays low to the ground and his body size and aggression will work in our favour. Lets back in Ratts...

[lewdogs]

Love that change

 

[saints2066]

Great decision, about to change my handle to saints2026, and maybe 2020 if we beat tigers as well

You don't play 4 talls forwards in modern footy. Especially not in the wet.

Nah I reckon he will play a defensive forward role and with the speed and power he has it’s a good move trust in Ratts

Four talls - where's Plugger66 - he'll be having a conniption.

You do whatever you want. If the talls are King-who's fast, aggressive, agile and has good ball skills
Membrey - who's not even tall and is fit and agile
Marsh - fast, aggressive and agile
Roma - resting ruckman

Maybe the 4th tall is always on the bench meaning we are playing only 3 tallish fwds.
Play to your strengths and don't follow anyone else.
It's ballsy and I like it. So much better than the past years.

Plugger disappeared as soon as Dunny got dropped and the ruck duo worked. His whole mantra of "the coaches know better than you" went up in smoke.

 

[Munga]

Marsh is a good in. It will be a tough slog at ground level, I just hope we don't run out of soldiers later on. Maybe a late in depending on weather

Having to constantly have a tall on the bench then limits the rotations of our mids against one of the best and deepest midfields on the comp.

 

[TheEnsign]

Will be fascinating because Membrey is considered a 'tall' only because he is a great overhead mark and the shape of our list the last ~5 years (that mainly being, Paddy unable to get on the park). There are 19 players on our list who are (listed) taller than Membrey.

If Marsh spends time as a taller target, personally I am salivating at the idea that a Pies will need to rotate a smaller defender onto Membrey.

Short quarters

 

[Veer Right]

I think Marsh will play a lock down role on Howe.

Hopefully Howe will be hobbling with a couple of corkys by qtr time and a throbbing ear

 

[Sheepey]

Marsh is the type of player who would excel in the wet. Battle is no doubt the more skillful player, but Marsh's raw athleticism would be a powerful asset, particularly if he plays a defensive role on one of their backman.

Has he been suspended?...usually 2 out of 3 comments are from him

 

[aussierulesrules]

Love it. Excited to see Marsh again.

 

[blktreacle]

Marsh makes sense.
Big body, good at ground level and tall.
This will strech the collingwood defense and his size should cause problems.
