We used to.
Me neither. Perhaps these folks prefer Mayne and Langdon's sideways/backwards dinky handpasses and chip-kicks.
Another poster put it perfectly and that is that Murray is a high risk, high reward kind of player. Sure he turns it over sometimes and it's frustrating but at-least he takes the game on and gains meters. I love the way he goes about it. His last 2 games before he got dropped he was making 1 too many mistakes though, but now he's getting another go and I thought he was really good in his return game.

Bringing in Elliot allows De Goey to spend more time in the middle. We need Elliot for finals and he has had 2 weeks develop match fitness. You could argue West Coast brought in an under done Kennedy, Darling and LeCras and we all know how that turned out.
IN: Elliot, Aish,
OUT: Greenwood, Varcoe,

He must never see a legitimate option downfield then.
What bad luck to always find himself in that position...
Nankervis had Grundy's number last time we played. Just about BOG I thought.
He'll probably cop four weeks at the tribunal. Sometimes I don't think he actually wants to play for the Pies and he is trying to let us know in a roundabout way.
Nankervis is underrated.

Cox - Ankle / hip / vertigo (ended up on his back on the ground under so many marking contests what was he doing?
Stephenson - Shin / corkie / windburn on his pasty skin
Moore - Hammy / bad hair awareness
Sidebottom - jaw / leather poisoning (think there was a head clash with Anderson in the 3rd quarter
Who’s in the wings if a few drop out? I suspect Cal Brown and Josh Smith will be considered. Aish Elliot and Fasolo haven’t got match fitness yet and would barely make half time against the tigers. He who shall not be named is no chance.
Is McClarty a chance if Cox and Moore both miss? We can’t go against Rance with only one tall. He will do the same number on us as McGovern did last week.

Youre exaggerating.

Just saw on likes and dislikes that essendon player kobe mutch has a fractured eye socket the result of a clash with jamie elliot. this is the first mention of this i have seen and was hoping someone who was there could clarify. Previous to this I had heard there was nothing in it
Yep the fact we have four players who could all be on over 30 goals after Saturday - WHE, DeGoey, Stephenson and JT - shows how well are forwards are functioning. Even Mihocek has fitted in perfectly, and Cox the big long target.
Not sure anybody really deserves to be dropped after a 10 goal win against a finals contender.
With the performance of our side this season two things have largely been forgotten.
1. How so many of us at the start of year were looking forward to seeing what Kirby might have been able to add to our forward line.
2. How bloody good Elliott is.
Sadly the future of Kirby remains unclear but with only 5 rounds left in the H&A season the allure of selecting Elliott this week will be high.
Fasolo another forgotten talent seemingly out of favour but one who hasn't had a proper opportunity to see what he can deliver in this new improved Collingwood side.

The Age's podcast last week said Kirby will not be offered a new contract.
Just a couple of other things. First, is there any vision of the strike by Elliott? How bad was it?
Second, Aish already confirmed he wants to play/will be made to play one more VFL match before being available for AFL selection. People can stop putting him in their ins for this game.

Usually I'd say we have to risk it to beat the top teams but with the way our forwardline is working I can't see the point of bringing in an underdone Elliott.
I guess the flipside is that he will break down in the VFL instead. If he is going to play VFL, then hopefully his game is carefully managed. If we are to lose Cox then Moore would be a logical replacement, if available. Whether he is ready to play against Richmond is for the selectors to decide.
Watched the game again today.
I think his teammates need to better understand him as a player.
Mayne doesn't take the risky option. He is always looking for a player going past to dish it off to. Quite often that player isn't there. Teammates need to be more aware of this and provide that option. When they do he invariably finds them.
Look at the bright side, playing Carlton means you are guaranteed a win in the first round each year.
You get the 4 points and we get to lol at Carlton.

Just scans. Moore and Cox interviewed but just said the standard things. Just a checkup.
Makes sense to me. A guy sneezes and tweaks their neck then they’re sent for a scan. Training attendance is the greatest indicator, IMO.
