Game Day Anzac Day: Rd 6 Collingwood v Essendon, MCG, 25 April, 3.20pm

[Jafo]

the news seems to think we'll appeal.

I think we should. It’s a free spin anyhow.

 

[Brent24]

Harry Jones is a likely out for them so who are all their talls that we have to cover?

They just have the two ruckman and one of them has to ruck. Also, one of them is pretty ordinary (the one not named Draper).

As long as Frampton plays on the defensive side in the ruck and doesn't allow him to slip forward when in the ruck, we should be fine.

Stop getting all these excuses ready and harden up.

Weideman could return from concussion. He's a spud, but so is Harry Jones. I actually feel like Jones would be easier to cover by a mid sized defender.

 

[Harry O]

I’ll admit I haven’t looked at Essendons likely setup. I just assumed their forward line would be taller than StKildas midget brigade.

They have Draper and Phillips rotating at full forward since Wright did his shoulder. Darcy Moore should comfortably handle them
Maynard - Stringer
Ruscoe versus who plays out of Jones and Weidemann
Crisp to take Langford ? IQ on Perkins?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Hope you guys don't lose Adams, that is a terrible decision...

 

[Jafo]

We need Bianco to come in to be the last link up man to pass to Elliott to goal after the siren for the win.

 

[MagpieJoel]

the news seems to think we'll appeal.

So we should. Fine at most.

 

[Jafo]

Hope you guys don't lose Adams, that is a terrible decision...

Already have unless appeal and succeed. Wait. We aren’t supposed to be nice to each other. Get lost Blue bagger

[Matt_352]

So we bloody should challenge. Is a fine at worst.

 

[Black_White]

Putting this game down in the L column.
They always lift for this day, as they should, and we are devastated by injury and suspension.
Just a honest effort and to push them to the end is all I ask.

Fear not, when the Goo gets unleashed alongside Nick Daicos. Merrett out for them is big. Macrae should be looking to show that he is the future, and can play that tay inside role. Billy was v good in the ruck, so Kreugs for McStay is a like for like.

Boys could lift for this... and Essendon are due a miss. Demons looked v flat for that game

 

[live fast pieyoung]

The MRO is so slapdash they will either let both adams and merrett play, or neither
because they think that makes it "even" and "unbiased"

The MRO has handed out their suspension. Both getting a week. Nothing will change unless they challenge & win....?

 

[Robroy22]

If Adams gets off, just watch Merrett get off as well.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Like many others i find myself wondering why we bothered keeping will kelly

Their best player is suspended and they have plenty of injuries too.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

If Adams gets off, just watch Merrett get off as well.

Imo the tribunal is a bigger lotto than the mro. A bit worried merret will get off and adams won't (or we won't challenge)

 

[#23 Hill]

With Frampton in the ruck and Murphy out. Who are the Essendon tall forwards we need to cover and who gets them?.

 

[Seb78]

Watch the Essendon guy get off and Taylor get 1 week.

Nah, Merrett ain't getting off this one going by the precedents set over the last fortnight. Unless......... anyone have Patrick Cripps' lawyers number?

We’ve won seven of the last ten.

 

[No SPIN]

I just can't see us getting over Essendon this week. They are playing good footy and have troubled us in recent times even when they were battling in prior rounds.

Draper is the most influential and dangerous ruckman in the game. We simply have too few talls and I think it will catch up with us.


I'm not sure where Fly will play Krueger but if he replaces Murphy he has to play a role he has never played before on one of the biggest stages in our game.

I'm not sure how our forward line will be structured either. Win this and I will be a very happy man and very surprised.

Kruger has played defense at Geel., but won’t be used there by Fly IMO.

 

[No SPIN]

We cannot easily cover Adams. If he had played in the prelim we would gave played in last year's grand final. You do not easily replace a player of his calibre. Who do you think can adequately do his job?

They can’t cover Merret easily - so it balances out.

 

[jmac70]

One thing we know for sure.
This team will give it their best and won’t stop trying.

That’s all any footy fan can want.

 

[BEEG]

Watch Merrett get off and Adams keep the week.
