Preview Round 6: Collingwood vs Essendon, MCG, ANZAC DAY, Sunday 25/04/2021 @ 3.20pm

So is Wright out then?

Rutten said he’s playing both Wright and Phillips.

He said the result of playing both is one of Jones or Waterman will miss out.

Waterman and Zaka have been named in the VFL team.

Training report also said Stewart joined the AFL group for the whole session.

So my guess so far is

IN - Phillips, Stewart
OUT - Waterman, Ridley, Reid

Guelfi stays in the team (as he was the sub last week).

If Ridley is out then i imagine Reid stays and Stewart just replaces him

That way
Cameron/resting ruck - Reid
Moore - Stewart
Mihocek - Laverde

Guelfi stays sub and Zaka first emergency. Phillips for Waterman.

 

[Megabattimus]

God I hope we don't play Stewart in the AFL immediately. Feels like such a massive risk and also goes against our policy this season of letting players coming back from injury build up form in the VFL before coming back.

 

[Ati Tude]

Stewart is not going to play in the AFL straight away. Just won't happen. And Ambrose is at least 2-3 weeks away at best.

 

[Ati Tude]

If Zaka gets back in, I will expect nothing less than 4 goals and multiple “ZAHARAKIS HAS KICKED A GOAL” moments

1 will do. The winning 1.

That game is soooooo goood. Every time I watch it, it amazes me that we kicked the last three goals with like two and a bit minutes to go. And we won without Lucas and Lloyd firing a shot!

That kick out before the final goal. What were Pies thinking. Was all Ess out that side. Just a great moment. The Dyson goal was pretty good too.

That Dyson goal is so underrated.

Guelfi stays sub and Zaka first emergency. Phillips for Waterman.

Only reason I had Reid as an out is that he hasn’t trained all week apparently. Not sure if it’s an illness or injury.

 

[Kyptastic]

No BZT or Gleeson named in the VFL, suggests they’re in for Ridley and as the sub respectively. Waterman named so Phillips has come in for him.

Gleeson also didn't play last week, might be injured

Could he have been a hold over emergency in case Heppell’s back flared up?

Right, well that makes sense.

Maybe just resting him for Sunday after brutal conditions vs lions and a 6 day break?

Stackelberg for the Pies. Terrific name. Anyone know his first name.

Apparently wasn't an emergency

Cody

 

[Hird05]

So in summary who's in and who's out then?

So in summary who's in and who's out then?

Looks like Phillips and Zerk for Ridley and Waterman.

Very tall forward line.

 

[Maxabillions]

We will win

 

[Bombers36]

As expected Ridley out and Waterman dropped, so Zerk & Phillips will come in. Team something like;-

Francis Zerk Laverde
Redman Reid Hind
Heppell McGrath Ham
Langford Cox Perkins
Stringer Hooker Tippa

2MP Parish Merrett

Bench: Smith Snelling Jones Phillips
SUB: Guelfi

Why would Cox be CHF when he's played wing all season?

 

[MiguelM]

one thing I would like to see get back to normal is Thursday night teams. At least while things have settled Covid wise.

Guelfi a little stiff if that is true. Thought he was did well under much pressure last week.

 

[ant555]

Not naming the side until they day before is rubbish. Come on ASFL we are not in the covit footy marathon at the moment. Side could be name on Friday night.

 

[Halftimehero]

Cox playing VFL for them
