Much will depend on how much ROB can negate Brodie Grundy's influence, let's face it he's not going to beat Grundy, few do but he must curb his influence for us to be a chance.

If there's one rule you can take to the bank: we never beat Collingwood. Ever.

Nicks: "“We wanted to reward him last week for his efforts and it was invaluable having him exposed to the AFL level.".
What a crap reason to play Milera! "Thanks for sticking it out in 2020 and 2021, here, have a game against Freo".
It doesn't take much to decipher the above:
1) he selects players foolishly for AFL games to reward them "for [their] efforts", not necessarily because they are 100% ready to go, to make a full contribution.
It's consistent with selecting underperforming and/or injured senior players eg based on last week's game, both Sloane and O'Brien could well have been dropped, retaining Thilthorpe (who needs AFL games and not to shine in the seconds) and promoting Strachan. But, no.
2) Nicks has forgotten (somehow) that Milera had played 62 AFL games in 5 seasons and would be well in touch with the speed of AFL footy from that. He's 25 in September ffs.
His confidence and execution would be well down after such a long absence (and they were); let him tear it up in the SANFL and earn his spot back in the AFL side. But, no.
Please, bookmark this and if I am wrong, great:
After another crap year in 2022, Nicks will be sacked about 12 rounds into a crap 2023 season.

Fond memories of a game against them in 2011 where the Crows were in front the whole game, up by 18 or so a few minutes into the last quarter and then Collingwood kicked 10 or 11 goals in 12 minutes or so and we lost by 43 points.

This is why I thought Strahnie may have come in (RT out) to double team Grundy.

Remembering a positive result at G against Collingwood, R1 in 2009 I think, Walkers first game. Beautiful sunny day. He goals from the boundary from 40m out. Crows go on to win by a couple of points from memory. I think Myke Cook kicked the winning goal!
Hint?
I know the movie, but the comment makes no sense. Thanks for that input.

And Jamie Elliot unless you have forgotten what happened at Adelaide Oval last year - kicked 6 from memory.

2016 was the last, it’s been awhile.
Also drew in 2017 at the G when we came back from 51or2 pts down.

05/06 against some very very average Vic teams was the last time I would rock up and was even remotely confident we might get a win at the MCG...
Still have chills around circa 2010 when Melbourne (Yes, Melbourne in their epic shytness period with Moloney and Jamar) destroying us by about ~80ish points at the MCG....
the round 1 2009 (Tex first game) is probably the absolute anomaly...

That Melb game was absolutely embarrassing. One of the worst floggings we've had in Melbourne since the 1991 massacres at Moorabbin and Windy Hill.
I remember a young Dangerfield getting sling tackled into the ground getting concussed by Trengrove who got 3 games, and Jonathan Griffin then missing a goal from the goalsquare....good times

Yes - was a totally horrendous game all round...
Another crap year and he’ll be lucky to see 2023.
That first half last week was grounds enough to start wondering whether the players like him too much to respect him.
They need to start playing for him.
He’s got a clear runway for 2022, but there needs to be clear signs that we are building and making progress
