Preview Changes/Preview – Round 13 vs. Collingwood

[MarcMaverick]

Shuffling deckchairs at this point.

 

[Headless]

Should be a close one.

 

[Bluelegs]

Should be a close one.

Headless, your thread seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train.
Why are you so popular?

 

[Dancing Potato]

McAdam pretty clearly not up to it at AFL level yet. If he ever will be again.

 

[Lord Nev]

I usually try and guess what WILL happen, but I'm rolling with what I would do this week...

OUT: Hunter (inj), McAdam, Turner, Petty, Chandler

IN: Howes, Sestan, Tholstrup, AMW, JVR

TMac to stay forward, can do some backup ruck with JVR. Howes and AMW to try and make our backline more mobile again, they were horribly slow today. McAdam and Chandler giving us nothing, let's try the kids.

Also...

OUT: Bullshit middle of the road 2024 game plan.
IN: Just roll with the clearance/inside 50 style from the last few years. At least our players won't be confused.

I'm not sure if we can just revert back to the 21-23 style, it isn't like the midfield doesn't want to win clearances and ground ball this year.

 

[RandB]

How the **** is Collingwood $2.10?

I think they won't be after today .

They are right now.

We've been bad at ground balls for years.

The clearance stuff is pretty clearly part of the current game style. You don't have the massive change we have had without it being a coaching directive.

I'd say the best clearance player in our club's history turning into a VFL-level plodder has something to do with that

I don't think one player is responsible for us going from 4th to 11th for clearance differential. And that's before today's stats are added into the mix.

He's our number 2 clearance winner, behind Gawn, this year. So he's dropped 1 spot.

Contested ball is ground ball right?

 

[Lord Nev]

Contested ball is ground ball right?

Might be to you perhaps, I get different people use different terms, but I personally go more with the statistical interpretation of the difference between say a 'contested possession' and a 'ground ball get'.

 

[Daemon]

I don't really give a crap, except can Petty please be dropped if he is not going to be moved back.

 

[Macka1203]

unfortunately our vfl team is also crap so there’s not a lot of changes that are apparent

Dropping Petty is a big call!

I don't know if we got anyone that can cover his two touches in 71% TOG

 

[Toump Ass]

Just quietly I reckon we’ll smash these campaigners.

 

[Mich0]

Let’s get Kentfield in for Petty.

This dude complete bias to bring in Sestan each and every week is mind blowing.

Bar one game where he's kicked 4 at Casey he's done absolutely nothing in between.

Like me saying let's bring in Schache for the sake because Petty sucks ass.

You'll be playing our ressies so I'd hope so.

 

[Toump Ass]

I know you're scared after seeing our performance today but excuses before the game has even started, sad.

 

[Bluelegs]

Whoa déjà vu!

Let's party like it's 2013

Pies fans do this every year. The good old no lose scenario injury excuse.
