Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. GWS (R18, Sat 20/07 4:35pm GIA)

[DerekZoolander]

BT said 3-7 weeks. Trying to work out how a broken finger is a 7 week injury. Seen people with a broken leg be out for less then that.
I know times have changed but players use to always play with a broken finger or 2. If hes out for 7 weeks , it sums up our luck.

 

[ride56]

Isn't Howe still injured?

Out: Pendles, Moore, Crocker
In: Scharenberg, Howe, Adams

Thought a general rule was bones take 6 weeks to heal

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

How do people feel about debuting Tyler Brown?

Not ready for AFL footy in what l have seen of him at VFL level. Still gets knocked off the ball or position bit to easily at this stage. Another pre-season, a bit of weight on, and definitely a prospect for 2020.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Damn it - Pendles & Moore
But they’ll have heaps of quality out too; Patton, Kelly, Coniglio, Ward, deBoer, likely Whitfield too, maybe Mumford.
We need the game plan and the intensity. I agree with some others, now release Crisp to the middle, use what is a bad situation and turn it into an opportunity.

What happened to Whitfield?
The time until l was watching the game, he was probably BOG. Handy for us if he does miss next week.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Isn't Howe still injured?

Before the WC game, they were saying he was another week away. I'm presuming that means he is ready to resume next weekend.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Shiat never ends.

What's next, Grundy and De Goey seriously injured in a freak gasoline fight accident?

 

[76woodenspooners]

Out: Moore, Sier - can’t drop CrCoker after one game, so he goes round again.

We just dropped Daicos after one game?

 

[Doc1763]

We just dropped Daicos after one game?

Two, North & Hawthorn

If not, I wonder if Goldy will be given a run, given he plays both ends

 

[Stoods]

Richmond fans are probably celebrating Pendles being injured.

pathetic POS they are, would not at all surprise me

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I’d assume Adams has replaced crocker

I'd assume Adams has replaced Pendles.

 

[Stoods]

what happened to Whitfield?

first it looked like a shoulder but then it looked like he might have broken a rib or could be both

 

[atomiser]

what happened to Whitfield?

From what I saw he was holding his shoulder but on the bench they were checking his ribs also

 

[The Royal Sampler]

what happened to Whitfield?

He had a very nasty one-week injury.

 

[Harry O]

Thought a general rule was bones take 6 weeks to heal

Quite funny some of the assumptions you read on big footy

 

[Sea fog]

Would prefer Mummy doesn't play. He's cooked but a shit truck.

 

[danielnajdek]

Could be third with how rubbish Port are atm.

 

[Occidental]

First game in a month and he got beat up. Splattered in a few tackles and couldn’t finish the game. Hip, ribs, or his shoulder again, I’m not sure.
But he was hurt.
A rest up might be enough, but he was struggling.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I'd assume Adams has replaced Pendles.

True that but I still don’t see how you make room for t brown this week

In howe Shaz Adams
Out Moore Crocker Pendlebury.

Unless you want to make four changes.

 

[Thefly38]

**** I hope we smash Richmond , but having our list as healthy as possible come finals has to be the priority

 

[nahnah]

Could be third with how rubbish Port are atm.

They smashed the crows last week and have been awful this week...

 

[danielnajdek]

Most bi-polar team in the AFL. Thank goodness I don't do tipping anymore.

 

[sirlothie]

Good teams make good decisions.

The fact that Collingwood have made very few list management mistakes in recent years is why we are where we are.

The only “ mistake” was Heath Shaw and even that was a win because we landed Taylor Adams

The only other “mistake” was Daniel Wells and even in hindsight that was worth a roll of the dice given his immense value in the few games he has played.

The jury is out on Dayne Beams and why did we give away Marley Williams for pick 105? Should have held him.
