Preview AFL Rd 18 - Collingwood v Greater Western Sydney Giants - Changes and Prematch Discussion

[ZEV]

Cameron will turn Keeffey John inside out and kick 10.


Keeffe is good at straight line but has a slow turning circle Cameron is agile as all f@$k, even Carlisle who is agile couldn't keep with him and got given a footy lesson last week.

N.Brown to Cameron, Keeffe to O'Hailpin or Tomlinson.

Oh ******* brilliant.. we are going to head into finals were all our opponents have their superstars with a nice rest a few weeks before finals and all of ours are going to play every single game and be exhausted...

Because it is soooo important to smash GWS this weekend, much more important than having a fresh pendlebury when the game is on the line in week 1 of the finals.

The club continually tells us hows its such a hard long marathon of a season and now won't take a rest when their a perfect opportunity to? Baffling, again.

Don't stress, players are fresh as daisies they had a day at movie world this week to freshen up for a full paced finals assault!

There Is no shame in getting pansted by Jeremy Cameron, the boy is going to be a champion.

Eh don't know why you quoted me? I couldn't give a stuff if they visited every brothel on the coast as long as they can still 'get up' and play this week.

Pun intended.

Tambling, is that you?

It's Cloke, was 1v1 when the initial long bomb reply came in than bam 3rd man up.

A bit left field but maybe the Sack could go to Cameron. I know he plays small for his 193cm but he's a good match on pace and agility.

Good call. Only 3cm difference, sack is listed as 3kg heavier, but he can run and chase. Has the agillity to match cameron.

Worth a go for the 1st quarter IMO, Make him earn his keep. If cameron takes a hold of him, then go to option B. (i hope to god they plan a second option.)

What odds that GWS kick less than ten?

 

[danielnajdek]

Imagine the meltdown on this board if we lost to GC and GWS is consecutive weeks.

Don't even wanna think about that.

If they do it will be because Cameron did a Gablett, but yes you are right captain literal they may not kick 10 for the game.

The point is Keeffe is not the right match up.

Well sorry Captain Negative if he can't play on oppositions best forward when we are going to win by 100 points whats the point of having him on the list?

In other selection news, Buckley said that ruckman Darren Jolly has "probably come on ahead of schedule" in his rehabilitation from knee surgery, but is not in the mix to play against the Giants this week.

Junior ruckman Brodie Grundy "could" play this week, as his VFL form has been "excellent", while the veteran Ben Hudson "is a chance to get up. He will be managed through the week. He has been fantastic for us...if he's available, he'll play."

Play the Kid Buck and Not Grandpa Hudson

In: Grundy, Brown, Martin and Blair if available
Out: Hudson, Krak, Mooney (cafe latte, Eliot, Maxwell?)

No gf this year, time to focus even more on development. Hence Grundy in and Krak out.

Martin in, stays in for rest of year. The guy deserves a good run, clearly huge potential.

Mooney hasn't been used well this year to my mind, not ready. Wait until next year.

Surprised to see both Keefe and the sack in last week, once in they need to stay. Leaves the team with too many defenders, I think Maxwell is the logical out, except he is the captain.

Be radical, don't swing Reid forward line when our forward line proves unworkable but try someone else. Alternatively, play Reid forward for the entire game. Do anything but use the same bandaid because it won't cure the problem.

Did I say he isn't the right match up for every forward?

Also it's captain realistic.

From training reports it seems that Seedsman, Hudson and Dwyer won't play due to slight injury concerns, as neither trained today at all (apart from walking a few laps).

Blair and Brown did train though, so you'd think they'd be back in.

Ins: Grundy, Blair, Brown, Martin, Kennedy
Out: Krakouer, Hudson, Seedsman, Dwyer, Mooney

Buckley has said he Rather Play Hudson over Grundy.

Hope Hudson does NOT get up then

I love Krak as a player and our side lacks quality crumbers, I personally thought Buckley stuffed up subbing Krak instead of Witts. AK doesn't need to get 30 disposals to have an impact and in the last quarter he may have jagged a couple goals when the ball was being bombed in at will. He certainly can change the game in 5 minutes.

But I will say this, I question whether HE wants to play on next year and if he wants to put in the same work as the rest of the side, he has taken leave twice this year the 1st time he came back over weight after looking very good physically from utah then again as he was finding form.

Now people have personal problems and taking time out to fix it is fine but in the case of the first instance surely he could of kept some sort of conditioning knowing he was to return to AFL footy?

Andy is in our best 22 without doubt, he is just about the only small fwd who knows what the word crumber even means and the rest of the smalls could learn a lot from him about positioning in particular.

I think he will play on next year. Not that I have asked him. I hope he is with the Pies next year. Well it all depends if Collingwood give him another contract or not next year.

If Hudson plays and we don't rest anyone i will flip my table

Then why post it?

 

[TradeDraft]

I reckon Bucks will Select Hudson and Put Grundy as Emergency. Though Grundy will have a Very Good Chance of coming in for Hudson.
