Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Hawthorn, Sun 05/06, 2:10pm MCG

[Big Bryza]

If we beat the Hawks I'll believe we are a genuine chance for the eight. They have had it over us for decades and with their ins as well as being on the rebound from a bad loss I feel that pattern is going to continue. I was more confident about beating the Blues than I am about knocking off the Hawks.

It's a strange one. You knew what you'd get from Carlton and they delivered on it. In turn we were able to match it and should have won by 5-6 goals.

With the Hawks, you literally have NFI if the very good or very bad will show up.

Big test for the coaches this week to have the lads up for it from the first bounce. No resting on out laurels this week. We owe these campaigners a touch up.

 

[Harry O]

The Hawks best is very good. Beat Lions Cats etc. nearly beat Carlton, lost to Dees by 10

If our tackling pressure is off they could really slice us open with their defensive rebound

 

[stormskye]

Sportsbet has us as favourites. Everyone open their accounts and bet on the hawks. We need our backs to the wall.

 

[Pistol Night]

I hate playing Hawthorn. Even when were flying and they're shit we struggle against them

 

[pablo disco bar]

Yeah, I'm not sure fly does that. Making debuts as subs.

If not him. Then I think it'll be Reef.

I just like that it rhymes

Chugg as the sub

Chugg as the sub

Dug or bug are better rhyming words.
Or mug maybe

Change after all.

McCreery in for Tyler

Team Selection: One change for the Hawks

Collingwood has named its squad to face Hawthorn on Sunday.

...slug or thug for mine

 

[Mollythedolly]

If Chugg was debuting wouldn’t have it been announced by our media team already with an accompanying video of his teammates clapping?

In saying given the selection patterns this year this seams spot on. I’d prefer Chugg over Tyler atm though.

There was something like 8 senior listed players ran out against Werribee. We have to name 4x emergencies so including one of the only 2 of those players to get coaches votes seems a no brainer. Assume he’d be 4th preference. Not sure why it’s an issue.

That will make quite a few posters happy.

BigFooty nailed the changes this week!

must never play another AFL game until he can dominate a bunch of vfl games in a row, if that never happens so be it.

 

[anshell]

Good change.Tyler needed a break after some lack lustre performances.I think we’re almost at full strength now,minus Grundy and Kreuger.

 

[golazo]

Sportsbet has us as favourites. Everyone open their accounts and bet on the hawks. We need our backs to the wall.

I bet against us every week. I see it as compensation for a loss

 

[whiskeytown]

T Brown being gone is all I care about

Chrispiesssss made the solid point that we tend to ‘carry one’ each week and Tyler has had his 7 senior games this year

Time to give others a go

Nothing like going over the top.

Looking forward to McCreery getting more than 10 disposals.

O'doyle rules

 

[Bianconeri]

I’m looking forward to Tyler getting more than 20

 

[well left]

Nothing like going over the top.

He’s not far wrong though.

Tyler has to go back and show some further development. He’s in a pack now that includes Macrae,McInnes, Poulter, his brother and now Carmichael. He’ll need to separate himself from that pack to earn his next shot.

Absolutely. He’s been dropped and has to earn his place back.

I agree McReery is very inconsistent… but roles wise you are comparing apples (midfield) with pears (forwards)

Which role is more valuable? A pressure forward or a pressure mid ? Both average around 7-8 touches a game

We will see I guess. Personally I don’t like Elliott going into the midfield because I worry about him getting broken again.
With TB out they might play him in there more.

I just want to win and will support whoever is in the side.

I do think TB has more to give.

pleased to see Beau back
