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

[Cousin of Daicos]

So we’re just gonna go in with no forward line

Do we even have enough fit players to field a side? lol

It's absurd. Just one after another.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Honestly you wont need him. If we keep the loss below 6 goals it will be a miracle.

No Yeo and no Waterman are massive outs for us, not to mention Long. We're gonna have to replace them onfield with known squibs or kids.

Bro…

Mihocek
McCreery
Elliott
Schultz
De Goey
Mitchell
McStay

Like, there’s outs and then there’s outs

I get that Waterman, Allen and Yeo are very big outs for you. But Collingwood is entering “not enough fit players on the list to take the field” territory lol

 

[nahnah]

the options we have are:
Reef
Bytel
Carmichael
Begg
Fin
Richards
Ash
Allan
Ryan
Kreuger (match fitness may rule him out)
Parker (match fitness may not be up to scratch)
Demattia (match fitness may not be up to scratch)

There are enough players to pick from but the last 3 are basically unavailable as well

 

[mumblingpie]

Oh no anyone but AJ

Btw I’m only joking if your reading this AJ, well not really but you know what I mean

 

[Ctracks]

They brought him into the finals off the back of one VFL game and he played Anzac Day last season off the back of one vfl game.

I feel that was PF against Sydney in 2022. Don't think he played finals in 2023.

Only 4 of those - Reef, Bytel, Fin and Kreuger - are realistic options in terms of being competitive or appropriate. The rest are just making up the numbers.

We’re ninth, with next rounds games having the eight sides above us involved in four games against each other.
We must win v WCE and can watch four teams currently above us lose. A great opportunity to move well inside the Top 8.
An important game coming up.

It’s a very interesting round of footy ahead. You’re spot on. Win here and we get cement a top 8 spot that we then need to cling to for the rest of the season! Aiming for top 4 of course!

I have a shorter list than you but yeah basically. So hopefully Elliott plays and we wont need one of them

Naaah we did that a couple year ago. You have HEAPS of quality on the field. We're looking at having both Sheed and Gaff play in the same team, and they may as well pull on Collingwood jumpers on the day they are so bad.

Even with those outs you've got us covered.

Oh I’m aware of what you went through in 2022/2023

I’m just speaking on this game specifically

But we’ll see I guess. I already saw this as a danger game before all the injuries hit.

We've played 5 teams currently in the 8, so we must grab the opportunity to move up.
WC are playing some good footy, so we can't afford any slip ups.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Do people actually believe this crap? Or just say it for laughs ?

Yeah it’s crap

 

[jmac70]

We did it last year without any bad repercussions.

Not saying Howe forward will happen but Dean coming in to replace him is a perfectly legitimate option . Wouldn’t write it off. Reef coming in is a no brainer but we have three forwards to replace

I think we will go for two smaller types to replace McCreery and Schultz.
Reef in for Checkers.

Maybe a debut for Richards?

I think Reef is too small to be the only key forward. It’s bad enough we rely so much on Checkers and unfair on Reef.

Think someone taller needs to be there as well, be that Howe Johnson Cox(with begg playing ruck), Frampton or ( shudder) Kreuger.

[Timmy from Thomastown]

At this rate of outs , could we cover Crockers tatts & play him in Kruegers jumper ?

Crocker is also injured

 

[unplugged]

McGovern can’t intercept if we have no talls

Just on Elliott he may well be in a position where he gets up to play but it's worth remembering it's a 6 dayer into R10 vs Adelaide.

 

[cakewalk06]

Time to break glass in case of emergency and bring in Freddy!! For god's sake just break the glass carefully.

 

[stormskye]

it’s time

That was my glass half full list. My glass half empty list would be much briefer.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

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

I’ve had to change the above:
Mihocek- rest
Mitchell- rest
McCreery- rest
Schultz- rest
DeGoey- rest
Elliott-rest
FromTheBoundaryLine-rest

 

[Kes1984]

Did it in the third quarter and kept playing

He’s built tough, our Checkers.

 

[Big Bryza]

no way - deserves to miss a week for that cheap shot

It was dumb but there was hardly any force behind it. Was a relatively soft suspension.

It was about right. When you run at your opponent and whack them in the back of the head you’re always going to get a week. The lack of force saved him a bigger penalty. Personally I think he was aiming for the top of the back between the shoulder blades ( fit which he might have got a fine for) but missed the target and went a bit too high
