Strategy Changes and Pre-match discussion (Freo 15/7, MCG 1.45pm)

[unplugged]

It's good knowing Mundy isn't around to get 35 against us like the good old days.

Serong.

Who’s that then?

Freos best mid

Freos best mid

I'd probably still have Brayshaw ahead of him.

The umps could also try throwing the ball up quicker not letting the pack form.

To negate the flow on of a quicker whistle that’s an absolute no brainer.

What about Buckley's theory about taking away prior opportunity. I've always thought that had merit but it would change the game drastically

I’ve heard him mention that a number of times, but in those instances he’s never elaborated on the alternative. What’s your interpretation of it? Mine’s incorrect disposal which is never paid these days with the umpires crying “he made an attempt” or “the balls free”. The concern I’d have with moving away from prior opportunity is a severe increase in free kicks.

Now with Serong’s ban upheld we have to double down with being switched on for this game.

 

[jmac70]

Freos best mid

That’s good then.

Weird logic.

 

[JC83]

Looking like Maynard might be good to go..

In - Maynard, Sidebottom, McStay
Out - WHE, Bianco, Frampton
Sub - someone incredibly stiff

 

[jmac70]

Weird logic.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

That’s good then.

Do you not know non-Collingwood players?

I know the some of the main ones.
Certainly not some guy named after an item of clothing.

Never heard of him.

I feel like if Serong played for us I'd expect us to appeal. It'll be interesting to see if they try and take it any further.

Taking my Pies hat off I'm a little disappointed by the suspension.

 

[LuckyLee]

OK, this is totally off topic but does anyone know how I can buy a 2023 Nike Pies match or training jump for my son’s birthday in November?

As far as I can tell they’ve been sold out from the get-go. Club shop, Rebel, you name it! I’d that normal? Should I expect a re-stocking before finals?

This frustrated dad is grateful for any advice!

in the early 90’s it was incorrect disposal rather than holding the ball, players like millane would lift the arms when tackled, be taken around the waist and dish off, the benefit was if you are taken to ground you’re arms are free to break your fall, but you’d get pinged.

That’s a crap decision re: Serong. Great for us, he is a gun.

They did appeal it. It was upheld.

No. State of mind comes later - after the conduct. Mens rea

One last post to annoy jmac.

The binary of intentional and careless being the only options only works if you've first split the conduct into reasonable and unreasonable and Chrisso has thrown out the reasonable conduct. Whether he looks at that before or after the other factors doesn't matter.

I think Buckley wants the player who receives the ball to immediately dispose of it. If that player is tackled , regardless of having no prior opportunity, he must dispose of the ball . As it is now, the player can just hang on to the ball. I think his theory is that if it is policed then it will discourage the handball to a stationary player during clearances, thus opening up the play more and having less stoppages. I don't really know how that would look but it would certainly change the game a bit

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Backs: Maynard, Moore, Quaynor, Howe, Noble, Murphy, Markov

Mids: Daicos, Daicos, Sidebottom, Pendles, DeGoey, Mitchell, Crisp

Rucks: Cox, Cameron

Fwds: McStay, Johnson, Elliott, McReery, Adams, Hill

Lipinski the odd man out for mine and will be sub. Hill, McReery and Adams the other options. We could also keep Crisp back and Markov could be dropped, for as good as he has played he doesn't provide the flexibility that Adams and Lipinski do being able to play mid and fwd.

For me when Checkers comes back then Johnson is the man to make way at this stage.
