In the two occasions it’s counted the most they beat us at the G so it’s not a game I’d want to play
I'm of the view that home ground advantage diminishes in the finals because teams don't need that crowd support to give them an extra lift. So I'm not as concerned by the hoe or away factor.
 
Personally, I love the outs that are confirmed and also the outs that are suggested.

I think Cox improves us in the ruck and hopefully it is just as simple as Cameron needs a rest, to explain his form (or lack there of)

Early in the week, I suggested, we rest players because of the obvious.
A couple are banged up.
Marvel is hard and punishes the body.
Bigger fish to fry beyond this week.

If we win, Sh*t hot.
If we lose, Oh well.

The main thing is we count down each quarter and get through the game pain free.

Then it is - Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, its off to the G we go...
 
No doubt. IMV Allan is probably more afl ready than Ryan but they've already made their call.
I disagree with that. Allan is more exciting a prospect, but Ryan is more likely to slot into the system and be in the right spots, which is the main thing you want from a first gamer. Ryan appears to read it really well.

Darcy Cameron warming up
 
God should I even bother going lol

If we're resting half the side

Yet to see us "backs against the wall" with Fly so have no idea how we are in this scenario.

As much as I hated Malthouse, have to say, game like this? You can pretty much put a W in the book. Hell, even under Bucks we had good wins when undermanned and the underdogs.
Fly has an unbeatable record of games we should have lost but win in the last minute. I back fly.

Hoe? Us this something we do to our home ground to ensure a win? Did I miss something.
 
Based on Collingwood's Instagram story, Mason Cox looks like he is preparing for the match.

That said, Noble was walking with the boys to the ground. So go figure.

Then we disagree. Ryan is an under-ager of his draft cohort and, for mine, isn't ready physically. I fear he'll be exposed defensively, especially if they isolate him one-out. He has a loping running style and doesn't really add much run from behind, apart from chippy 15-yard kicks sideways or diagonally.

I hope I'm wrong and the kid excels in his debut.
