Game Day Collingwood v Brisbane, Marvel, 18 August, 7.50pm

[Masked Magician]

Any sign of Noble? Is it likely that Ryan is a replacement for Noble? Excited to see him debut if he gets a run.

Noble fully training

Bobby hill off the track, Gin has gone from white to black team.

Bobby hill off the track, Gin has gone from white to black team.

Amazing to think we had a full list available going into Hawks game and a fortnight later are likely down Naicos, Moore, DeGoey and Hill!

There’s a lot of luck required in this caper!

And arguably put in our worst performance with a full healthy list to choose from...

Is McRae's presser today?

For those of us unfamiliar with Ryan, what type of player is he? What are his best attributes? What’s a like-for-like comparison from elsewhere in the AFL?

Ryan is similar to Haynes from GWS.

Bobby hill off the track, Gin has gone from white to black team.

Anything visible on Bobby?

Why is anyone worried about Melbourne? We've got a great recent record against them. Not to mention last time we met we played like s**t and still almost got over the line!

We didnt really get close to them tbh. A few very late goals after the game was dusted. They strangled us.

 

[live fast pieyoung]

I like the idea of Reef as the JDG replacement - he has similar explosiveness and can play forward - his VFL form last week was very good

Long term, yes. Apparently doesnt have the tank yet. Would love to see them develop him as a mid. He has great hands in traffic

 

[Finnishpie]

If the selection committee doesn't rest the players who are struggling I will, in the words of Terry Wallace, spew up.

DeGoey, Hill, whoever else is battling, take the week boys. See you against Essendon and for the finals.

Welcome: Macrae, Ryan, McInnis, Bianco, Ruscoe, whoever is needed to come in.

 

[Big Bryza]

Because the long season and short turnaround has had no impact on ... say ... Moore's injury?

Geelong rested players last year.

The SEN writers, David King, and others have suggested we're in a great position to manage players.

There's insanity everywhere!!!!

Geelong were so far ahead of the pack last year, it wasn't even funny. We played the game of our life in the QF and still couldn't win.

This year there are 5 sides with legit claims of winning the flag. Team cohesion is far more important that resting players. They can miss a training session or 2 if they need a spell.

David King is the same bloke that loaded up on the Pies/Daicos double at the start of the year and is now crying because that ticket is in the bin.

 

[Masked Magician]

Noble has pulled up sore from match sim and has taken himself to the boundary hobbling slightly

 

[stormskye]

I’ll wait for Jen’s report, but I guess it’s looking like Degoey and noble are added to daicos and Moore with hill also a ?.

I guess those wanting us to rest players will get their wish this week!

 

[Big Bryza]

I don't get the hate for Docklands. Of course the MCG is far superior, but for a modern 50k capacity stadium, what more do you want? Hard to create character from concrete. The sight lines are awesome.

The G has a soul, the Docklands does not.

 

[domus]

Really want to beat the Bears. Would love to inflict the loss of Gabba finals upon them.

If no Degoey, Moore and Daicos we are missing our 3 most important players. That makes it very tough.

 

[Big Bryza]

Rayner. Played like he was Modra last time we played them. JFC

Close to the worst number 1 pick since Wattsy. Although the young lad at GWS might overtake that mantle.

In saying that, watch Rayner play his 2nd good game for the year on Friday night.

 

[neilk]

De goey after the warm up is now doing rehab work with Moore

Is Hill training at all?

Was just about to comment the same thing about those insisting on 'resting' players ..

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

The G has a soul, the Docklands does not.

I feel like I'm watching a game in an airplane hangar.. even opening up the roof would help slightly.

 

[Big Bryza]

except he lined up in defence before Moore went off with Howe forward from the first bounce, his comments don’t make sense.

He started on the pine, went into the ruck and then straight into defence when Moore ran off at the 20min mark of the 1st quarter. Very much shaped up as if he was going to play Forward/Ruck before the Moore injury.

Regardless, he must stay in the side as a KPD for the remainder of the season.

He's a excellent prospect who turns 19 next month.
This pre-draft assessment from last year has Ed Allan in there too.
Apparently we would have taken Ryan with our first pick if Allan hadn't slipped through.
If the comparison with Sicily pans out, we have a good 'un on our hands.

We've seen that McStay is important to our forward structure, so we'd want to avoid rucking him if at all possible.

We need McStay to ruck 20% in order to play all of Ginni, Hill and McCreery in the starting lineup.

 

[Kes1984]

De goey after the warm up is now doing rehab work with Moore

if only rehab group and not full training, I'd say we can rule him out for this week.

 

[whiskeytown]

I couldn’t care if we field half our VFL team this week

Just rest those who are iffy

All that matters from here is week 1 of the finals
