[pablo disco bar]

Throw Howe forward for first 10 min

Catch them off guard

Piesource saying Degoey and Mitchell won't play.

In Fin and Sullivan.

Just seems to be the most obvious.
Two mids out
Two in.

Doesn't need to be complicated.

So they're both playing then?

Piesource saying Degoey and Mitchell won't play.

In Fin and Sullivan.

I'm more convinced they'll both play now.

 

[Exambolor]

I'm more convinced they'll both play now.

Yep, why are we believing MemeSource.

Remember according to him Taranto is playing for us right now

But, but, but he's got the inside info.

In other words, he watched the Channel 7 news.

 

[Bramax]

Walsh is a big accumulator so he would need to be the most restricted

Who has the tank to go with him you think?

 

[My Tilly]

Hope you guys smack those cocky, arrogant flogs!

 

[manicpie]

My prediction…

Charlie Curnow will kick 6

But we'll still win the game

 

[Jen2310]

No matter who we have or don't have, we'll come to fight.
We do like to be underdogs.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

My prediction…

Charlie Curnow will kick 6

He generally runs at about 60% free kick efficiency , so 10 free kicks. Sounds about right.

 

[migz]

I know some won't like this but I wouldn't mind seeing AJ have another crack. When he was playing s**t the whole team was down but we've built some form since so he'll benefit from the team performing better.

PieSource is not an accurate source.

No call has been made … yet.

No. His performance on Saturday was a start but he won’t suddenly improve to AFL level. He still went at a low efficiency and many of his possessions were uncontested, even if he did a few nice things.

 

[Kappa]

AJ is better than a lot of our other senior players .. his disposal efficiency is also good
He’s a long kick also and his goalkicking 23/22 is 36-19 G-P so don’t think many issues there.. second only to Bobby in accuracy

Ash Johnson is rated "Below Average" for kicking efficiency, and "Average" for shot at goal accuracy over his career.

It's a myth that he's a great kick because we all remember the 2 times he kicked goals from 50. He's missed quite a lot of easy ones too.

 

[Hardas]

No matter who we have or don't have, we'll come to fight.

Yeah, and with a full week to recover, I think a few more of our vets will really lift.

Hopefully he can turn that around.

We're all well aware PieSource is not an accurate source. They only repeated what Channel 7 said. Which also said nothing had been confirmed by the club.

 

[unplugged]

Based on nothing at all I assume DeGoey will train fully today and play on Friday. In this day and age you can't surely miss a game 8 days later with just soreness, when you've got a 9 day break to follow!

 

[gouki88]

Sullivan & Macrae are the seemingly obvious ins for De Goey & Mitchell, assuming both miss.

I'd then make WHE the sub and start Harrison.

On his record they are both playing then

 

[swoop42]

Is the consecutive games record starting to play on the mind of Crisp and self preservation is starting to set in even if only subconsciously?

His disposal average of 16.43 so far in 2024 is the lowest of his career whilst at Collingwood and close to 5 disposals less on average than last season. It's over 10 less than his career best average of 27 achieved in 2021.

We need him to lift and with De Goey and Mitchell in serious doubt for this week it's become urgent.

 

[Big Bryza]

Cats are 17th for clearances. Yes it could get ugly, but it won’t be solely based on that.

The Cats are so well coached. They know their weakness is through the middle but they pressured the Blues enough to ensure they didn't get enough clean looks at it going inside 50. Their backline is like a brickwall, they have unbelievable runners and their forwards are just so clinical. In saying that they did cough up over 100 points, albeit 4 quick goals late in the game flattered the Blues on the scoreboard.

The Blues are gettable, the ladder flatters them right. It's a matter of which Collingwood rock up. Got a sneaky feeling we'll put on a show Friday night and put plenty of pundits back in their box.

I think it'll be Sully and Leggy. Naics and Crisp to play more mid time.
