Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - PF vs. GWS, MCG 22/9 7:50pm

[TW Sherrin]

BOG by a country mile.

poor old gouki88 loves his ruckman and thinks Gawn is on the decline.

 

[Scodog10]

When it comes to these things, the MRO isn't Christian operating on his own. All the chiefs get involved. Time for our new Head of Footy Ops to take a stand, not Pontius Pilate this up to the Tribunal, but to dismiss it. She is a Pie, so is the General Counsel and so is Chrisso. Hopefully they put the club first.

I like your optimism, but given the anxiety around head trauma I’m thinking they’ll set allegiances aside.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Worst case is done by the MRO and then off at the tribunal.

 

[jathanas]

Yep Moore, Elliott, Daicos for a start

Moore's game was let down by a few kicks that were "too ambitious".

His run and aerial presence were strong and a key factor to the way the defence held up, especially in the last quarter.

Your inability to read strikes again. In that discussion I still said Gawn was one of the premier rucks in the competition, rather than the standout or the 2nd at absolute worst.

He can both be a top 4 ruck in the comp whilst being on the decline. It's important to be able to think a little bit

Was being facetious - think they will punt it up to Tribunal Pontius-style.

he is clearly the best ruckman in the comp and not just top 4.

at least you're not arguing Grundy is gun anymore

So clearly, except for all the people who don't agree. I wish I had some of your confidence

 

[cakewalk06]

A lot of people believe we made the right call in dropping Johnny Noble but I disagree. I feel as though we missed the quick 10m dash and long balls down the line that he brings. Ie, late on we could not kick the ball beyond Gawn. Every bloody time we were landing it on his head. Bring back JFN for mine.

Ps I fear Maynard will get at least a week.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Felt for Grundy in the crowd

Do you think he was barracking for his mates at pies and not demons ??

 

[Rohan25]

I need this to be the Friday night Prelim. Don’t think I can go on the Saturday…

 

[SchuPie]

Goody trying to throw Bruzzy under the bus. “He jumped in the air and a guy Is knocked out” pathetic campaigner, he knows it was a football incident.

Ok Goody, if every time you have to consider if completing a football action such as leaving the ground (ie for a smother) that a collision may occur, then wouldn’t the action of flying for a mark carry the same penalty if a an opponent is knocked out under the ball? Or if two rucks jump for a tap?
I’d be furious if our player was knocked out such as Brayshaw was but this doesn’t mean the act needs to be punished.

 

[pugsville]

IF Maynard is suspended , What about Ruscoe as a like for like ish replacement.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Does ginnivan get shafted for daicos?

Pretty unfair only 8 minutes on the ground

 

[Scodog10]

No. If we’re plucking one, which we won’t, it would be Ryan. Ruscoe’s probably already back in Perth or at least his head is based on his match last week.

 

[chestbrah]

Goodwins comments are as salty as they are unsurprising.

 

[Gaben]

Ideally it’s Lipinski out for Daicos which is an instant and dramatic upgrade for our team and balance. Lipinski on a wet track makes for close to the most painful footballing events I’ve ever encountered.

I think Maynard gets wiped though and it’ll end up just being Daicos for Maynard straight swap. The Mitch Duncan incident gives me some hope though at least.

 

[Bianconeri]

I reckon he would have been happy to see both Melbourne lose and Collingwood’s rucks getting flogged

 

[anshell]

You’re right.Pathetic of him to say that.I can only think of one other coach who would make a statement like that about an opposition player,and that would be Chris Scott.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Goody trying to throw Bruzzy under the bus. “He jumped in the air and a guy Is knocked out” pathetic campaigner, he knows it was a football incident.

He’s salty because Brayshaw going off meant he couldn’t put Petracca forward much. Poor from a head coach.

 

[kalex6251]

compare goodwins answers to the maynard and van royen questions in his post match presser ..... i wouldnt attach any weight to his opinion (that said, collingwood should never forget his efforts to throw maynard under the bus)

 

[cfc19902010]

Have to concede I’ve not been a big fan of WHE but I thought he was superb last night

In N daicos
Out lipinski

If Maynard goes noble back

Still not sure about Cameron Cox thing

I did too Pablo

As much as I dislike Port, it would be a great match Brodie rucking to those midfielders

 

[whiskeytown]

In: Naicos, Noble (sub)

Out: Lipinski, Maynard (if suspended) or Ginnivan (stiff)

I thought we looked slower as the game went on

Ginnivan did nothing wrong, but without him we had no trouble converting inside 50s against a good defence

Amongst their overall qualities, Daicos and Noble bring the needed extra dash, run and youthful legs

 

[Big Bryza]

In: N Daicos, J Noble
Out: Lipinski, WHE

This is actually the worst post in the history of big footy.
