Unofficial Preview Changes and Pre-match Discussion - Rd 13 vs Melbourne, 3.20pm Mon 13/06, MCG

[magpies42]

Second year player performing well in the vfl. Had a very good game on weekend. Just needs to build tank and play 4 quarters. Tracking nicely IMO and as expected for a second year mid with covid interruptions last season as well.

That’s my sense also…needs a tank to spread better and to get to more contests…should get him averaging around the 30 disposal mark.

 

[magpies42]

The two players that help Melbourne's structure at either end of the ground, with May down back, and McDonald up forward, both missing....

We are also missing Grundy…one team you need a ruckman against is Melbourne!

 

[Stripes B and W]

I am really hoping for some phone footage of May giving it to Melksham. No way they report this to the club unless there is some footage or Melksham copped it? Think my imagination is going a bit hard.

Keep it going!!

Last time we played Melbourne and won on QB, we won with Lynch and Cameron rucking.....Grundy was out injured

Pretty sure Cameron is a truly number one ruckman, as he has shown the past month

 

[Jonno94]

Cox is going to have a big one, you can just feel it.

 

[CouldNotPlay]

Any chance we can get Alan Richardson to get the beers into Petracca and Oliver so they can bash the cr@p out of Fritsh.

Would be interesting to watch as Melksham is apparently quite capable in the ring.

 

[sideswipe]

Keep it going!!

In my somewhat extensive experience of doing and witnessing stupid things whilst drunk, I reckon the only way you get into a punch up with a mate at 9pm is if you have been hitting it pretty hard. For a while. And what was happening on Sunday? The Kambosos fight. My guess is the boys went to the fight, then onto beers and dinner. Good day all round.

 

[Jafo]

Hope the boys are switched on from the first bounce on Monday and not lulled into a false sense of security with all the upheaval in the Dees camp this week. Otherwise we’ll get rolled by 6 goals plus.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

May repeat his bag of 5 in the 2018 QB clash..!!

 

[cwoodgal]

Good news that may is out, we may have a sneaky chance now ! However I worry that their forwards might destroy us fritsch etc hopefully our line stands strong and bring their A game.

Also hoping coxy and ginni have a big one this week, would do wonders especially for ginnis confidence with all the media obsession on him

You might be onto something.
Little did we know the rematch would be played out so early, Jake as the stylish Haney and May the more aggressive George.
Same result, Jake on points?

This is an important question. We need to see the footage. If the fight moved from inside to outside, it would have been pretty scary for the other patrons. Need that CCTV.

Howe on Weideman?
Assume Mitch Brown dropped or in defence
IQ to tear Pickett a new one

 

[gouki88]

He also should be able to counter Gawn’s ability to impose himself with marking.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Ginny’s the type that will try to play out of his skin this week to rip it back onto all his critics with a big middle finger salute.

 

[KinderSmock]

Gawn can be hot and cold. You do well if you keep Gawn to 70 AFL Fantasy points. He's not the best player on Melbourne's list - Petracca is - but he's still good most days. Collingwood really has to focus on not snuffing easy chances. It should've been a 40 point win against Hawthorn, not 4. We dominated that much.

We have a ruckman. Cameron , very good at his craft

Fritsch is Maynard’s bitch

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

The Dees would be furious about this, considering the whole build-up to this event is based around The Big Freeze and fighting MND, not fighting your teammates. Daniher would be so gutted with this effort.

Expect a flat and half-hearted club to take the field while they work out what the hell is going on inside their heads.

We may have no other option than Murphy or Maynard but Fritsch gets everyone with his agility and ability to turn defenders inside out and agility and pace are two things Murph lacks.

 

[KinderSmock]

If we win this, we can keep in touch with eight. Richmond is vying with us for that 8th spot, although I remain optimistic that Carlton, Sydney or St Kilda will take a big L. That WCE is continuing to haunt us.

 

[jimmy35]

Surely they’d want to anyway. Punchable head that bloke.


edit: jimmy35 in no way condones violence against men or women in any way, shape or form.
Despite how punchable their head may be.

AFL coaches at odds over Ginnivan's antics

'We've got to save the players from themselves'

wwos.nine.com.au

Richmond has to be the most arrogant team and Damien Hardwick the most big-headed, egotistic coach. In 2016, he could have been sacked had the board not been nice. People who forget their past are doomed to repeat their mistakes.
