[Soaring Magpie]

Out: Oxley, Kennedy, wits or Grundy (can't play both)
In: Adams, scharenberg, anyone that can run and hit up a target!!!

 

[Soups]

Oh please let us get back in the winners circle!

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Out: Oxley, Kennedy, Witts, White
In: Marsh, Elliott, Adams, Reid

 

[Ketchup]

Out: Oxley, Fasolo, witts, toovey
In: scharenberg, marsh, Adams, cox (if Reid is not fit enough)

 

[Collingwood pro]

We will either lose by 1 point or Melbourne will feel pain so bad that even Carlton will go DAMN.
In: Cloke, Elliot, Adams
Out: Witts, Blair, Fasolo

 

[swoop42]

I've been a fan of Kennedy but he let himself down today and didn't take the opportunity.

Might not get another one next week.

Oxley was woefully soft.

Blair no impact at all when he came on.

Witts has no real physical presence and for a man of his size that's a knock.


Out:Kennedy, Oxley, Blair, Witts

In:Adams, Marsh, Karnezis, Seedsman

 

[ThisIsJake]

Outs - Ox, White, Witts
Ins - Adams, Reid, Scharenberg

 

[cleomenes]

White is the one at risk for Reid. Grundy and Witts are coming along nicely. You would think Kennedy would go for Adams. Finding a space for Elliott may be difficult, with perhaps Blair giving way for him if he is fit. If Cloke gets up, I don't know who we would drop for him.

 

[Pies_10]

lol at people think Reid will play afl

Finding a space for Elliott will be very easy after today's game.

 

[PieBeast]

Out: Witts, Oxley, Blair

In: PK, Marsh, Adams

 

[burtpies2015]

Out: Oxley, Kennedy, Witts, White
In: Marsh, Elliott, Adams, Reid

Who is the 2nd ruckman?

 

[magpie90]

Out Oxley and Kennedy
In Adams and Scharenberg

 

[jmac70]

Oxley and Kennedy were horrible today.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Ins - Adams, Reid, PK, Elliot and cloke.

Outs. - I won't go into them. Too angry.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Who is the 2nd ruckman?

Always a risk running solo, but let Grundy ruck 95% of the match - proved earlier in the year he can handle it.

 

[TradeDraft]

Witts has to be Dropped.

We don't win and are way to slow with 2 Rucks

 

[BEEG]

Surely enough is enough TOOVEY OUT

 

[jmac70]

Witts has to be Dropped.

We don't win and are way to slow with 2 Rucks

I agree TD. We needed another runner today.

 

[jmac70]

Surely enough is enough TOOVEY OUT

Toovey held us together for most of the game.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Out: AFL side
In: VFL side

Toovey held us together for most of the game.

You meant Langdon right? Tell me you meant Langdon.

 

[Scodog10]

Early thoughts are:

Out: Kennedy, Oxley and Witts
In: Adams, Dwyer and Reid

That last change is the one I'm not sure about, but at this stage I'll back Jmac's word in. My guess is that it's unlikely though due to a mixture of Buckley's faith in the two ruck combination and the conservatism we have shown on Reid to this point.

 

[jimmy35]

Out: Witts, Oxley, Blair

In: PK, Marsh, Adams

Yeah I think that would balance things up a bit better. Let's see what Marsh has got to offer.

 

[Kappa]

What happens if we lose this game.. dear god..
