That pesky dental hygiene virus, damn it!!!

Collingwood would be immune given their lack of teeth .....

 

[Wickzki]

I like the changes but can't help but feel we're a midfielder short.

Suspect Dow is a late replacement for Motlop or is the sub if not.

 

[YeoShuey]

So who tags Daicos? They finally going to do the right thing and put Doc on him?

 

[NavySteel]

I never realised collingwood are quite an old side 7 30+ and 2 29yo

Flag tilt this year and next. After that, they’ll lose a fair bit of class.

Yeap

One change I feel that has gone unnoticed is they’ve gone from a 7,7,7 to a 7,6,8 set up with cameos.

I think they’ve massively focused on keeping fresh legs in the front half to keep the pressure up. So now they consistently go for:

• 2 wings playing 90 percent (this week hollands and acres) with cotta playing wing cover for 20.
• 4 central mids rotating the 3 spots (this week Cripps cerra hewett Doc)

• CC 95 percent game time
• SOS/(now tdk) 60 forward 20 ruck
• cotta 65 forward after his wing cover
• leaving 380 between 5 players (Martin Fogarty Cuners owies and Motlop).

It’s a lovely balance. The midfield is tough and hard as hell. The forwards will apply enormous pressure. Set up for the interceptors to try and mark and launch.

We are a chance to cause them some real problems.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

As good as a team we can put out in the circumstances and love Marchy in for flexibility he gives us if wanting to put Kemp or Gov fwd.

This team good enough to make it very competitive - a win not beyond the realms

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

The Squiggle is now tipping Carlton after the teams were announced.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Marchy, Gov and Kemp?
Will there be a late change?

 

[Opium]

Love the marchbank selection. Takes pressure off Weitering.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Thoughts on what we do with Ed Curnow?

With Martin back he won't get a spot on the HFF.

He has been picked as sub a few times but I don't love him in that role.

The only role I see him playing is a hard tag on Daicos.

He’s simply not up to handling Daicos, maybe Sidebottom off a wing but he shouldn’t be anywhere amongst the midfield mix…
Love him but he shouldn’t be in the starting lineup…

Not named in team…

 

[Benaly28]

Good that Hollands has kept his spot.

8 players not playing from when we last played.

Super excited about the game tomorrow, liking the look of the team that we have named, there's no reason why we can't take it right up to them.

 

[norway blue]

Play a smashing four quarters. Grrr

Much better side than I anticipated earlier in the week. We’ve got enough in to get this done. Should be a ripper game.

hollands? when was he in danger of getting pushed out? played a beautiful game last week ...................and that missile to charlie.........

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Marchy, Gov and Kemp?
Will there be a late change?

If there isn’t a late change then we’re given up another runner, maybe McGovern played forward?

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

Charlie and Newman should put a mirror on their backs tomorrow might distract Moore and Elliot… too busy checking themselves out.

Charlie doesn't need a mirror to distract Darcy

I like the changes but can't help but feel we're a midfielder short.

Suspect Dow is a late replacement for Motlop or is the sub if not.

Think we will just give guys like Fog and Cunners more mid time. Doc mid all game.

Might even roll someone like Cotts in there a bit given we have Hollands and Acres for the wings.

 

[norway blue]

Govs got a good left foot. Great kick.

Given Ed C is out I wouldn't be surprised if Cotts got the job on NDaicos.

If we Tag Daicos that will take up another midfield spot too

 

[ctwenty1]

Last round outside the 8 for season 2023.

Enjoy the game tomorrow night, baggers!

 

[F_therest]

Marchy, Gov and Kemp?
Will there be a late change?

Nah we just going in taller I reckon. Should be fine as they are all relatively mobile.

Actually matches Collingwoods forwards well.

Mcstay - Weitering
Cox - Marchbank
Mihochek - Kemp
Elliott - Gov

All those 4 forwards are aerial threats. The latter 2 being mobile too.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Pretty stoked with the changes...

Was feeling pretty grim during the week...
