Unofficial Preview Changes and In the Mix V Collingwood Rd 8

[Vdubs]

It's like some people have forgotten every finals series since 2014.
Yeah Murdoch is fine for now but will go missing. It WiLL happen.
Same with Menegola. It's gonna magically change this year? Bullshit.
Move Blitz out of defence and it will happen too. Same as every fuken year.
Learn something from the past FFS.

We still get there every year, and we need to this year again. Murdoch is on our list and has a role in getting us there, as does Menegola. It is hardly the fault of those 2 alone that has cost us.

 

[Vdubs]

Not sure I'd be bringing back both Ablett and Harry in the same game. A little risky for mine.

I'd just make two changes assuming Menzel is right to go.

Ins: Ablett, Menzel
Outs: Z.Guthrie, Crameri

Agree, but the CS interview this am suggested Harry is in the mix.

Probably should just send the players of on their end of season break now. After all no player has ever improved in the history of this game.

 

[Tony Barber]

Ahhhh No way.... This is Kolo best season iv seen him play, because his playing a Key Defender...

Ok. Scott was asked this.

When Taylor comes back do you know where he will play?
Yes we do. He'll go to his position in defence as per our plan that you saw in round one.
We had plans for kolo to play up in the midfield this year as he did for parts of last year but we had to move him back due to Taylor going out.

When Taylor comes back we will go back to the original plan.


That's not verbatim. But it's close enough.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kolo run around in the midfield again.

Yeah and we'll get there again. The reason this year has been enjoyable for me is because something different is happening.
But to think the same shit will produce a different result is crazy.
I have a laugh when I see how bringing in Smith is going to change everything.
Like the the last 2 years?

Many players improve. Like all the young players we've been playing, and our undermanned defence.
Players that have had there chance and have failed badly probably won't.
History shows the chances are low.

 

[SleazySimon]

Why are they our bogey side? We beat them last time.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Beaten us 3 from last 4. We don't play the MCG well - they are a bogey side.

That's what I heard, makes sense.

 

[Wojcinski]

Why are they our bogey side? We beat them last time.

Probably more because we've been heavy favourites the last 4 times we've played them and they belted us in 3 of those games and the 4th we won by 11 points off the back of a huge Dangerfield game despite the game being a dead rubber for them and half their team was missing. They still kicked 6 of the first 7 goals in that game.

 

[Son_Of_God29]

Pending Hawks Tribunal hearing I'm guessing that he wont be suspended changes for the pies would be

In: Ablett Taylor Parfitt Menzel

Out: Murdoch Z.Guthrie (omit) Crameri (omit) Gregson

Murdoch has been cleared. Are you omitting him? It doesn't read as omit, jfi.

 

[Son_Of_God29]

Omitting all 4

If Hawk gets weeks Crameri stays in

Just can't drop Henry for Taylor after last night so

Parfitt - Murdoch
Taylor - Guthrie
Menzel - Crameri
Ablett - Gregson

You must have thought the same about Ablett, Bartel, Ling, Corey, Enright, Milburn, Scarlett etc aswell because they were atrocious in their first handful of finals.
Funnily enough, they changed. They build on that experience and worked on it to become amazing finals players.

Quite a few of those guys (plus Johnson, Kelly, Wojo, etc.) played their first five finals with a 2-3 record (like Menegola) with a few shockers in there. Funny that.

 

[CatRiot]

Few people saying Parfitt should be in... but is he available? I thought they had no idea on when he'll be ready at this stage, Eg TBC return on the Injury List

 

[Cezz The Catter]

If Harry’s back this week we surely can’t play Henry, we’d be going in very very tall (Taylor,Kolo,Henry,Stewart), assuming Blitz also moves onto the ball. Somethings got to give there, but that’s almost the most unlucky omission I’ve seen.

 

[terry_bright]

In : Menzel, Ablett
Out : Hawkins, Zuthrie.

If Menzel isn't right, I could see one of Constable, Parsons or GHS come in instead.

Fair chance of rain next Sunday apparently and if that is the case we can't play too tall.
Taylor has only played 1 full game this year (a practice match) and a quarter in the season proper. Needs to play in the VFL IMO.
I think the club will take an extremely cautious approach with Parfitt and wouldn't be surprised if he's still a couple of weeks away.

 

[Larry Donohue]

In: Ablett, Menzel, Taylor Smith
Out: Zuthrie Fogarty (rested) Thurlow (stiff) Stanley

Blitz to midfield
Ablett forward

Bews Taylor Stewart
Henry Kolo Tuohy
Blicavs S.Selwood Kelly
Crameri Hawkins Ablett
Menzel Dangerfield Gregson(on Murray)
Smith J.Selwood Duncan
Menegola Cunico Ratagolea Murdoch

Why are they our bogey side? We beat them last time.

Since 2005~ they're the only side who's close to having a positive record against us. It's something like 11-10 W/L our way.

 

[Toe Poke]

This is a weird thread, because more than any other week this year, the "ins" are contingent upon which players the match committee decides are available.
The most likely in is Ablett, and the most obvious out is ZGuthrie.

Then after that, who knows?

What I'd like to see:
IN: Ablett, Taylor, Parfitt, Menzel, McCarthy, Horlin-Smith, Smith
OUT: ZGuthrie, Thurlow, Gregson, Crameri, Cunico, Murdoch, Stanley

What probably won't happen, especially after a 10 goal win:
IN: Ablett, Taylor, Parfitt, Menzel, McCarthy, Horlin-Smith, Smith
OUT: ZGuthrie, Thurlow, Gregson, Crameri, Cunico, Murdoch, Stanley

McCarthy straight in after not playing a single game for more than 13 months.

What do you think, fans?
Inspired lunacy?
Or just sheer old-fashioned effing stupidity?

Have your say, we're waiting for your call.
