Changes vs St.Kilda, Friday 7:50pm @ Etihad

[Buena]

I think we are a better side with Josh Thomas in it. I hope he comes in. Give Cloke one more chance. He won't get a better opportunity than against St. Kilda

 

[Kilmo]

Nathan Brown can now go on the LTI list, paving the way for Martin to be elevated to the senior list. If we are serious about dropping Cloke, we need to boost our goal kicking power, so both players should get a senior berth. Who to play as KPF in the absence of Cloke? The lack of an obvious replacement will probably mean Cloke retains his spot in the team.

Oh, the bigfooty community is very serious about dropping Cloke. Thankfully, absolutely no one in the Collingwood Football Club community has even briefly entertained the thought of dropping our most important player.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Trade. Wouldnt be delisting him, he showed enough last year tto retain if no suitable trade comes up.

He might be depth now but we can just draft a kid to replace him.
I don't see him as part of the future.

 

[Frankie23]

We had two tackles inside 50 yesterday

I haven't seen any VFL this year, but if Karnezis has shown enough when it comes to forward pressure then get him in, we know he'll hit the scoreboard and hopefully provide a bit of intensity up there!

 

[jabbers]

In: Karnesis, Keefe
Out: Brown, White
White needs a bullet. He wasn't working hard enough.

lol. On another thread Maxy is getting bagged out for touching Fas on the shoulder and on this thread we are shooting our players.

Fair enough. I dont disagree entirely, just depends on our list changes at year end, Expect he'll be one of the last re-signed. A couple of years ago Maccaffer was just about the last one re-signed after an extended period of injury. Luckily we kept him.

Well if White needs a bullet in your estimation where does that leave Trav who has been stinking it up big time

 

[ladderleader]

Finally through the registration process

first post

Still think this is largely a development year so would like to see persistance with Thomas. Replace Young
Grundy a week break. In Karnesis.
Keefe for Brown
like to see Broomhead for Bally for 2 weeks and let the old fella freshen up for the 2nd half of the year

Any chance of a percentage booster here? Or will it just be another scrappy win?

Nah, we'll be 12 goals up at 3/4 time then the Saints will kick 8 goals to 1 in the last quarter and we'll win by 5 goals.

A Collingwood percentage booster win? You must be new around here...

Whilst Cloke has been poor. Surely you are not suggesting White has been better?

We don't do percentage boosters. Would be nice if we can get things running smoothly the next three weeks leading into the Hawks, obviously have to win them all but hopefully a chance to run a few into form.

Definitely not mate.

We'd better hope that we have some form going into the Hawks game, otherwise it will be a shalacking.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Depends on hawks outs. Gibson won't play and i reckon mitchell and lake will not play.

Hopefully we get reid back and it will be interesting

I see it as about a 40-50 point win. St Kilda are very poor at the moment and are a much worse side than West Coast or Adelaide. Riewoldt has been quiet the last month and the way our defence has held up this year I can't see them really troubling us at all.

Adams or JT must come in IMO, the midfield was ok in the second half but was killed in the first. We can't keep getting thrashed in there and putting the defence under pressure. Under the circumstances it was nothing short of remarkable their effort yesterday considering the sheer numbers of entries they had and with Goldsack our only KPD.

Who does Caff go to this week? Jack Steven perhaps?

Montana. Easier to shut down an outside mid

 

[Big Bryza]

Toovey isn't that poor of a user.

Williams is absolutely atrocious.

He had a shocker on the weekend, and his disposal is severely holding him back. Will never crack the midfield with disposal like that.

Williams isn't great but he is a better user than Tooves.

 

[Big Bryza]

I wouldnt be droppping Cloke. Its a ridiculous suggestion. Hes putting in, the form will come in the seniors.

I don't think Clokeys putting in as much as he can. No way would I drop him though. It's a mindset thing for Trav and he should tear apart St Kildas defence next week. He'll cop Delaney or Bruce and the real Cloke will kick 6 and take 12 marks against that sort of defence.

 

[Big Bryza]

I saw that stat and couldn't believe it. It shows tackles inside 50 are great but not be all and end all of winning. Patty K should come in next week. Let's get this forward line looking as potent as possible.

The comparison software is fun and informative. Grundy averages 20 hitouts to Cox's 10 at the same age. The only appreciable lead Cox had in statistics was marks per game 2.2 to 1.8. I have bookmarked the page for further future comparisons.

I'm suggesting that Cloke has been terrible taking into account his capabilities which leaves White in the shadows. However that's beside the point, which you missed - a bullet for White who is really only continuing the inconsistent work he has shown career long would equate to a mortar shell for a power forward who has completely lost his power.

It was a mildly sarcastic pun on your post.
