Prediction Changes v Melbourne (5 added to squad including Phillips, Cloke and Oxley omitted, see squad in OP)

[Collingwoodity]

If we play Grundy, Witts and Cox we've truly lost the plot.

a triumvirate of talls?

throw in Cloke and we will be the slowest forward line in history.

Better yet:
Gault, Cox, Grundy, Witts, Cloke.

 

[hellfire]

Better yet:
Gault, Cox, Grundy, Witts, Cloke.

And Cox would still be the only one to take a grab...

 

[robertg22]

Better yet:
Gault, Cox, Grundy, Witts, Cloke.

Why stop there, let's promote Wyatt off the rookie list and bring him in too.

 

[The Dawes]

Better yet:
Gault, Cox, Grundy, Witts, Cloke.

Yep, and then they can play the Benny Hill theme music every time the ball goes down there. Cox can slap Blair on the head...

should be fun to watch.

Apparently Howe didn't train today. Still a few more days to come up but if he didn't do anything today it's looking likely he will miss

If he does miss, either Goldsack or Marsh coming in for him makes sense, maybe even both if we intend to drop Oxley or Maynard also.

If there's any doubt we should rest him though, especially with the bye after this game.

 

[BEEG]

Hate to say it but we are going to get smashed.

You and Jmac going out drinking?

We should drop both Oxley and Maynard. Each have given us a fortnight of poor football.

No thanks

Looks like it so I Williams be part of the 25 Squad

Maynard played his best game for us against the dogs 2 weeks ago. He wasn't flash against port, but neither were most. Ox has gone missing though, I'll pay that.

Barley had a Winner on the Ground vs Port

 

[Big Bryza]

Yes it is, sprays almost all his kicks under pressure.

Give us some stats to back that up. Cheers.

 

[Big Bryza]

as distinct from Ramsay, Elliott & Scharenberg who are all 'very much' long term. Not sure what the 'very much' adds to the description.

on the bright side we don't have anyone suffering from hamstring awareness.... that ship has sailed.

Geez, it'd be nice to have Ramsay, Scharenberg and Elliott all in the side right now.

Important parts of our future so it sucks to see them missing so much footy.

 

[Big Bryza]

What's the score?

 

[BEEG]

Cloke dropped?

 

[Registered User]

Tom Browne reckons Cloke is out

Tom Browne reckons Cloke is out

If he's dropped for Witts I'll lose my sh*t

 

[mattys123]

Cloke dropped, WTF, this is just stupid now.

 

[nahnah]

His days in black and white are numbered

Say hello to your new full forward for 2017

 

[10571z]

**** im so sick of Buckley. If you drop cloke with our injuries you are an idiot. Give the bloke a couple of weeks in to get form.

 

[FireKrakouer]

The club owe us an explanation if Cloke is really dropped.
