[The Bighouse]

Just has no idea re getting into dangerous spots or keep involved in the chain of play, and today if ever there was one was a day to get amongst it.

Don't think he will be offered another contract. (am assuming he is ooc at the end of this season?)

Yep, OOC

 

[Neese]

Selections or more importantly, availability of players, will the key to this game.
Our pressure dropped off during the WC game. We can't afford that at any time. Need to be ready to fight for every ball.

It didn't drop off. We were knackered because of no fit players coming off the bench so nobody got a rest.

 

[Red_man2008]

That was a final nail in Honey’s career - 4 touches from 64 inside 50s.

Hopefully Martin is ready.

27 pressure acts (ranked 3rd) and 3 tackles plus a goal. He’s been okay.

Doc cannot run with Daicos

He’d drop him like a bad habit in a 2km run. Endurance no problem for Doc v Daicos.

 

[BeijingBlue]

After watching Collingwood tonight, we will need top performances from all 22 to get close

Port were clearly the better team for most of the game?

Bad kicking does it again…

 

[Neese]

I don't think Collingwood were that impressive tonight.
Will depend on who is fit for us.

 

[Accidental genius]

Will depend on who is fit for us.

That’s the thing though….they may not look too impressive but somehow they get the job done. we need to study their game carefully.

Agree it’s going to be difficult if we can’t get some of our injured players back.

would love to face them with our near best 22 side

 

[jj1978]

Lots of sizing up between port and Pies. Unlike our last encounter they won’t know what to expect and hopefully we can wipe some cockiness off their faces. No Harry might be beneficial as last time our bomb it to Harry and Curnow caused numerous kicks straight to Moore and co.

 

[ctwenty1]

Depending on our injury list, us comfortably.

6 straight at 50+ a real possibility

 

[Cringle]

If anyone goes to Daicos - I would use Cotty.

 

[Arr0w]

Since Cuners and Fog have come in, we have been more dangerous and disciplined (Martin too)

Will need to play their roles again next week

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Our midfield smashed Port, that's where it begins and ends, we have got these pretenders covered......

Fabulous promo for upcoming game on Fox.
Features two great songs and some excellent footage.
Camon!

Ok so the running numbers are huge for Hollands, Acres, and Cottrell, but from what I'm seeing, all were fairly conservative given their game time.

I don't think Hollands plays next week, and I think Acres will be on closely managed minutes, possibly even getting subbed out if the game blows out either way.

OUT: Hollands, Honey, E.Curnow, Walsh (inj), Young (sub)
IN: Binns, Martin, Cripps, Cerra

FB: McGovern Kemp Newman
HB: Cincotta Weitering Saad
C: Docherty Cerra Acres
HF: Fogarty Silvagni Motlop
FF: Cottrell C.Curnow Martin

R: De Koning Cripps Hewett

INT: Dow, Cuningham, Cowan, Binns

EMG: Marchbank, O'Brien, Young, E.Curnow

 

[Arr0w]

Still resting/managing Acres, now Hollands too? Can't see it

Think Ed stays in too

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Never stated he should be dropped

You said he's lucky not to be dropped. I don't believe the selectors share that opinion.

Marchbanks is best 22 when fit, reckon he replaces Cowan this week.

[Revenant1965]

Port vs Collingwood match of the round so far. Hopefully we bring it next week with a W. Our head-to-head ledger stands at, from 263 games, Collingwood 131 wins to Carlton 128 (and 4 draws). So we owe them a loss on their side. Of course, we've met six times in Grand Finals, with Carlton successful five times to Collingwood's one.

 

[Kruezing]

Marchbanks is best 22 when fit, reckon he replaces Cowan this week.

Let’s hope so

 

[Arr0w]

You said he's lucky not to be dropped. I don't believe the selectors share that opinion.

Okay, let's go back

Firstly, he didn’t opitimise our turnaround, his first 3 games back after being dropped for similar poor defensive decisions, were all losses.

Secondly, he is lucky that Young has gone off the boil and Marchbank still struggling with continuity

Cowan aside, Kemp is still our most inconsistent defensive player, that concerns me

On the plus side, love that he continues to back himself, is quick, aggressive runner wanting to break lines and mongrel

He is young and will continue to improve, so plenty of upside

 

[Jimmae]

Marchbanks is best 22 when fit, reckon he replaces Cowan this week.

If the Pies want another crack at 3 tall forwards, you might be right.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

If anyone goes to Daicos - I would use Cotty.

Yep, never use your best players to tag. If it works you break even, if it doesn’t you lose out twice as bad.

Cottrell can do it. He doesn’t even need to focus on getting a kick himself, just remain disciplined and keep the pressure on him as he inevitably receives the ball.
