[Accidental genius]

This is just my gut feel and my own opinion. I reckon we are setting ourselves for this round onwards and I reckon Russell is behind it.

Time will tell.

Brutal training block has been knocked on the head by some itk’s

But still…

You could be right based on our injuries sore bodies and lack of pressure

RND 21 - Carlton vs Collingwood​

 

[Accidental genius]

No reason why we will not demolish pies on Saturday night. Eight day break, Harry, Blakers and Boyd back in.

Our form over the last five weeks has been ordinary, but still a fair bit better than theirs.

The G suits us much better than marvel, 80,000 plus crowd will help. Naicos is back in good form, Cinc to nullify him.

Walsh could probably do with a rest, but he will play. Like the idea of starting him on a wing and dropping Cotts.

Marchy maybe a chance to replace Young, prefer Caleb. One of them has to play.

We have had a fairly dismal July, yet I believe the turnaround starts with this game.

Blues by 17 points.

Righto let’s do this…even if it’s with / without Marchy

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Do we send Cincotta to Daicos or Bobby Hill again.

I think he goes to Hill again and Hewett gets Daicos.

Would like to see Young stay in to play on the resting Ruckman (Cox/Cameron) and Kemp to move forward.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

We’ll be red hot this week, I can feel it!

Opportunity to end their season….. pay back for 2022!

I'd play Cincotta on Daicos, can follow him in any arc, but probably won't attend centre bounces

I’d try Cottrell on Daicos. Has the engine and needs a role. Just stick with him

IMO Cincotta needs to go back to HB as he is a much more natural player, find more ball and is tougher than Cottrell and will gives us more playing his natural game

Win/Win

 

[Kernafides]

Not playing well but not getting blown away. Hopefully we can find some spark

 

[BrianSetzer]

Going to be a long week.
I'll be leaning on you guys to get me through lol, highly anxious person who unfortunately lets the Blues dictate his mood All our positive energy together, let's kill their season, we owe them.

I’m actually okay with this week. Feel we need the 8 days and with McKay Acres Boyd back we look much better

We also love the G and will get back our energy in front of 80k fans

Strange but feel very relaxed about this one

 

[ctwenty1]

I'd suggest a flag makes you top 4 after finals.

Might even make you first,

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Can somebody explain to me why Pittonet cant or isn’t ever there to mark a football?

He is 202cm and averages 1.4 marks a game (usually uncontested)… either his positioning is terrible due to bad coaching or he just doesn’t know how to go for a grab , and this is a massive hole in our game with TDK out.

Most teams rely on their ruck (eg Cameron Gawn Grundy list goes on) to take a link up mark on the wing . We really felt that missing with McKay out this week and Curnow having to go and take them (with no one to then kick it to in our forward 50)

Why is pitto not that guy? I don’t understand … he would be a pretty ok ruck if he could be this guy

Here’s a theory.. he’s not a good contested or overhead mark

 

[Soapy V]

I’d go with

B: Boyd Young McGovern
HB: Cincotta Weitering Saad
C: Acres Cripps Walsh
HF: Elijah McKay Fogarty
F: Kemp Charlie Owies
Foll: Pittonet Hewett Cerra
Int: Newman Motlop Kennedy Cottrell (Hollands)

Young in for size to help Weitering
Cincotta back to defence
Cottrell to tag Daicos. New role he needs
Boyd on Hill
Kemp fwd and back up ruck. Need it at G and he will thrive
Cerra back on ball and Walsh on a wing as hard running link player
Cowan bloody unlucky but balance forces him out
Hollands fresh legs help later

Good side that should win comfortably

Boyd in Hill
Kemp fwd and back up ruck. Need it at G and he will thrive
Cerra back on ball and Walsh in a wing as hard running link player
Cowan bloody unlucky but balance forces him out
Hollands fresh legs help later

Good side that should win comfortably

I think Cowan needs to play at the expense of Cottrell. Kemp will struggle rucking against Cox. Young could ruck as Cox will be his direct opponent in the forward line.

 

[Kruezing]

I think Cowan needs to play at the expense of Cottrell.

Anyone can play at the expense of Cottrell at this stage … I’d take Orazio even … no offense

 

[Opium]

I'd play Cowan and Boyd on Elliott/Hill Release Saad to drive off half back

Soapy please explain the thinking behind Cottrell tagging Daicos … I’m having nightmares about this and still haven’t gone to bed yet …

 

[Soapy V]

I have him tagging Daicos. Has the engine and size to do it. Also releases Cincotta to play his more natural role as we need more run from defence

Otherwise I wouldn’t have him in either

 

[Opium]

Soapy please explain the thinking behind Cottrell tagging Daicos … I’m having nightmares about this and still haven’t gone to bed yet …

Cottrell can't tackle. I'd play Cincotta on Daicos. He won't like the physicality.

 

[Soapy V]

I can’t see Cottrell playing any other role. He can’t find it. Does have the engine to do it

I also want Cincotta back as a running defender. We need his toughness, run and ball use

Just my thoughts

 

[JustaBattler]

Same as comments re Adam Cerra he played all his football at Fremantle on the wing & inside mid, he did not play at half back.

Check again - this time go past the first thing that pops up in google.

You’re right there is no role for Cottrell unfortunately the quicker we accept this the better … I’d even consider debuting Lord on the big stage …

I’d love to see that but club seems reluctant.

As for Cottrell (as I have said for months) if he doesn’t have a defined stopping role he is no good

Fogarty coming in has taken his def HF role and you can’t play 2 of them

I also want to release Cincotta. As good as he is shutting down he is a bloody good creative running player from defence

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Question for everyone would love to know what you guys think.

IF we don’t make top 4,is it a failed year?

My answer is YES.


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I hate when people ask the failure question. It really bugs me.

This is worth a minute of peoples lives

 

[bmaurizio]

We have 3 very combative and demanding encounters ahead, Pies , Hawks and Saints. Let’s hope we get through all these games with minimal injuries.
