Game Day 2023 Round 08 Collingwood v Bloods Sunday 3:20 pm @ MCG

[The King!]

can horse coach from the boundary, preferably at another ground

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Three consecutive premierships may have a point!

Had they worn long sleeves could have been four

[bedford]

Francis is sub

lol what

 

[sr20]

So sheldrick just sits out a weekend. What are we doing

 

[The King!]

Be better if the fans voted on the sub than let Horse pick it

 

[ShireSwan]

Sheldrick should have a higher vote in the polls. If he's not wearing long sleeves today in the stands his mum will be very cross.

It almost has to be a tall given how threadbare they are in the actual team.
I think it's the right call tbh. We can cover losing a smaller guy, by moving one of the other 18 small guys around.

Absurd. Can expect no less.

 

[ShireSwan]

Absurd. Can expect no less.

Someone like Parker or Mills must have been a late call is the only rational explanation.

 

[Bloods86]

My drunk brain says Francis as sub over Sheldrick is nuts.

Nope ... In slippery conditions we could have done with a tough low centre of gravity bloke.

Should have been given a half in the 2s at the very least. Pathetic.

Rumour was rowbottom

Francis should just be playing anyway , but yeah in the last when we need some energy one of the slowest players on the list comes on

 

[Mister B]

Francis as sub makes a bit of sense as he can play forward or back but as has been said we now have our most in form reserves player who has sat out for the weekend. Could have used his physicality yesterday down at Frankston.

 

[lazy77]

Never mind the win-loss record, we really need a win to break this boring af cycle of ridiculous negativity on the forum. I'd get it if we were West Coast from last season or Hawthorn from this, but we lose 4 games of the first 7 and half the board has a mental breakdown. It's ludicrous and not really justifiable imo. What a bunch of snowflakes we are. We desperately need to be put in our place with a good win.

So, Swans by 4.

 

[RUNVS]

Don't bomb

Parker bombs more than Al Qaeda.

 

[caesar88]

I like Francis as sub. Can play at either end and either end could very well end up dysfunctional if our form this year is anything to go by. Gives us flexibility

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

A loss by 16 Quades.

 

[The King!]

how far ahead do you need to be at 3/4 time for BT not to discuss the pies are a chance

 

[Mister B]

Seating allocation for GA is an absolute farce. Total of 5 bays in the Warne stand or back 10 rows of the Olympic by the looks.

 

[Mister B]

The limit does not exist.

This is my thought. The days of having a sub that comes on and has a major impact doesn’t really seem to happen with 4+1.

If we lose a tall we have a spare. If Francis needs to come on he could go forward to release a Heeney for example to midfield or back to release Fox/Blakey/Campbell.

Francis is sub

So McAndrew not playing?
