Game Day Round 9 vs. WCE, Marvel, 1:00pm Sun 12/05

[Tadpole]

West Coast have improved over the last few weeks compared to what they were (although that was a pretty low base to start with), but even with the outs, Collingwood should still win - hopefully it's not another heart stopper. I was talking to someone at work on the weekend and he said they should include defibrillators in with Collingwood memberships with all the close finishes they've had in the last few years.

 

[Captivating]

this should be AJ time but he's been disappointing and lacklustre ..no miho or micstay should be he's big chance to slot in

Maybe he will come in. We'll need at least two talls to stop Barrass and McGovern dominating our F50. He could be asked to play as a defender but in our F50.

Fly is a genius having him learn his defensive craft in the VFL.

 

[Capital Magpie]

A big margin would be good too because ours is pretty low and could be a factor for ladder positions at the end of the season.

Given we got only 2 match points for our draw against the Bombers, % is no longer relevant for us.

 

[Captivating]

Classic Collingwood - only we would find such ways to make the "easy" part of our draw much harder than it needs to be.

We started the year with pretty much a full strength team and suffered no in game injuries. We also started 0 - 3

Yep, only if we're vying for the same spot as Essendon

 

[Ctracks]

I’d bring in Reef and Macrae.
Could Carmichael be a chance?

No to Carmichael, he is pinch-hitter half forward type at best.

Surely your taking the piss with Krueger?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

With all our outs and at Marvel I am declaring this one a certified DANGER game. Hold on folks, this one is going to go the distance.

Yeah with our outs and if we don’t get selection right, this is most certainly a serious danger game

Adelaide will be even trickier

Fly alluded to possibly playing someone that hasn’t played before- only one in the frame would be Richards

I think Richards is a given.

Haven’t watched the presser yet - was he specific about debuting?

 

[Ctracks]

Richards looked/looks good in his purple patch, but 0 tackles (at least in the most recent game) apparently... I don't know?

He’s very good offensively. Quick, front and centre. But defensively is my ?. And with both shoota & mccreery out, and no talls, we are gonna need ground balls and to lock the ball in.

Swap Sidebottom for Kreuger and Bytel sub.
Elliott plays tall and can play at full forward with Cox pushing up higher

Or Bytel.

 

[Jen2310]

Or Bytel.

Yeah but having not played before isn’t him given he has just come from an afl list.

[TheGreatGrundy]

Ash v kreuger.

Or billy forward. But do we want to take him from defence?

Kreuger for me. Ash just has not shown enough up forward to warrant consideration. Pretty unfortunate about Mihochek given we are already unable to adequately replace McStay.

 

[Kappa]

Maybe he will come in. We'll need at least two talls to stop Barrass and McGovern dominating our F50. He could be asked to play as a defender but in our F50.

Fly is a genius having him learn his defensive craft in the VFL.

They had no other choice, he was utterly invisible as a forward at vfl level. Everyone on Bigfooty was saying he needed a change

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Reef is more ready than Krueger

Sure, but I already had him in as Scultz's replacement.

He'd be debuting for us, so he hasn't played with us before.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

I’m looking at it as:
Mihocek- rest
Mitchell- rest
McCreery- rest
Schultz- rest
Rest assured, we will win.

 

[JuniorB]

It looks like there will be opportunities aplenty for some of our young and fringe players to stake a claim.
If we have a system, it should mean at least a little bit of "plug and play" for incoming players.
We can't worry about the players that are out.
Let's just hope incoming players will take their opportunity, like HH & Sully.

Go Pies!!!
