Game Day Collingwood vs Richmond - Sunday 28th July 2024 - 1:10pm

Cheer on an umpire? Seriously?!!

I'm not too fussed about McInnes missing but the scary part is that outside of Mccreery (due next week) and Mihocek, this is probably our best team? If we can't win this we are very tired and potentially cooked.

Hopefully - touch wood - no injuries Sunday so we can roll into Carlton with a near full strength side for one of the first times this year.

I think they are very tired.

The non stop injuries all year, plugging holes every week, so many debutants, young kids carrying big loads, experienced players playing through injuries & no consistency in team set up has contributed to lack of connection, synergy & energy. Imo.

Having almost everyone back at this stage of the season won't mean they'll automatically click & get their mojo back in one game.

Although that's what we all want.

A win this Sunday may give them a bit of energy, confidence & momentum though

I will for every free kick he gives us.

Ive always liked Razor. He did well by us and he was always very entertaining.

 

[cfc19902010]

I just posted that Razor Ray is umpiring our game..

Good

He’s better
Only issue with ray is he thinks he’s part of the entertainment but technically good

 

[Tharazero1]

In fly's presser he said that Markov was line ball, given how close his partner is to giving birth.

Sorry if I'm an outlier here. What does it mean by line ball? Just see closer to the game?

It means the baby is due & Leggy may be busy on Sunday ..

Don’t forget Mitchell as well

yeah just means his partner is due any day now, so he may or may not be available depending on the birth.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I honestly don’t think we lose much by replacing Markov with either TJ or Parker.

Markov is our least effective defender. I’d even be okay with Reef playing his role.

Markov’s main role is to be our drive off half back. He’s failing at that so happy to trial anyone else.

First kid - probably more likely to be in danger to miss the Carlton game. Right Gone Critical ?

If we can't win this, will start planning my long overdue OS holiday.

5 weeks back we looked capable of finishing top 4. If we can't win this then I have no problem saying that on current form we're the 2nd worst team in the competition.
Even then I wouldn't want to be playing in Perth. Unbelievable.

It means Oleg has been drawing geometric patterns on his testicles again - not a good sign.

I had forgotten! I almost can't imagine getting any more footy out of Titch this year. Nothing meaningful anyway.

True unfortunately. Adam’s and Titch have been big losses, with basically no real replacements for them thus far (albeit, Sully at stages).

Jeremy Howe plays defence. Reef in our forward line. Oleg Markov makes way.

Yeah I reckon Reef was a bit stiff .. he is just beginning to show his wares ..

 

[BuildEmUp]

Reef was at FB against Jordy and did very well. Reads the ball well.

Maybe Reef for Markov in future - i see they only resigned Markov for 12 mths - probably as insurance

agree completely- he also explained his decisons on feild clearly and loudly and was very fair

There are very few bearable umpires, and despite his schtick understandably rubbing many up the wrong way, he is actually one of them.

Hey people, if you haven’t already done so, donate to the Magpie Nest program. An email was sent by the club today.
Very worthy cause.

Bytel. Parker. Schultz. Cox. HH IN

Reef. Kreuger. Richards. Sullivan. Markov out

Jack Bytel playing for his AFL life this Sunday.

And may be sub...

Interesting to see How Parker goes in his first full match. Could also be a make or break game for Bytel.

A bit strange for a reigning Premiership side but this season nobody can complain that we didn’t “play the kids”.

Other than Harrison and Richards they mightn’t be very good but virtually all players on our list have tasted senior footy at one time or another - and most multiple times.

It will make the keep/trade/delist exercise a bit easier at season’s end.

I reckon so.
