Preview Finals Week 1: Collingwood v Melbourne, Thursday 7 September, MCG, 7.20pm

I would have preferred Hibberd missed again.

Yeah don't like that

Showing Ginnivan out on AFL site with Macrae as sub
TEAMS: Pies make SHOCK axing, talls return for first final

No. It has Macrae omitted and sub in brackets because he was sub last week. He hasn't been named as an in nor as the sub for this week. The AFL app causes this confusion every single week. Ginni is our sub this week.

 

[anshell]

Melbourne has named a very drab forward line with no real stars there.I think they will struggle to kick a winning score with that line up.

 

[stormskye]

Gee I hope they don't line up the way it is shown.

They never do

 

[Spiral_Out]

Peter Sidorkiewicz and windchimes and whoever else laughed at me when I dropped Noble from my team in favor of Markov 10 days ago in the other thread, sup?

Also, Seedsfan, when he said I was clueless at the start of the year when I said Hill is better than Ginnivan and would keep him out of the 22, sup?

WHE stays ️
Ginnivan sub ️
Noble out

I'm not usually strong on selection, but I do not like this move. Between Noble and Markov, Oleg is the clear out. Hope they have more reason than favouritism.

 

[danielnajdek]

I would have preferred Hibberd missed again.

Him and McDonald haven’t played a AFL game for ages. It’s risky imo.

 

[jmac70]

Nope

And Noble out

Wrong

I would have preferred Hibberd missed again.

Why I'm happy with their ins both guys are genuine spuds

Lot of our players returning from long spells off haven’t played well. They will both be rusty

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Feel sorry for Johnny F'en Noble.

I'd pick him over Lipinski.

With moore, Murphy, Q, Maynard they needed more run from the backline abs Markov is much better than noble at that

 

[jmac70]

Have faith.

Markovs recent form is street's ahead of Johnys so I don't know how you come to that conclusion.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Well that answers the questions of whether fly had the plums to
Make the big calls, hopefully those on the fringe crack in.

 

[sam_e]

Harsh but probably correct call on Noble. I’d rather pick Markov ahead of him. Only objection is I’d have dropped Cameron and played Cox as the primary ruckman with Ginnivan starting due to how good he was last week. McRae doesn’t like that single ruck set up though.

When was the last game Noble missed? I think he’s played all games last year and this year at least…

agree that Cox is the better tap ruck and plays with more aggression but probably doesn't have the aerobic capacity to run a whole game out against Gawn on his own

Nick in for Lipinski would have been ideal.

 

[Maggie5]

They never do

I don't see the point really, why not just name the squad, fooling no-one.

Anyhow....

[Captivating]

I don't see it as anything more than Markov having gone past him. Instead of Markov as sub he's in ahead of noble and mcrae can play one of the small forwards as sub

I was commenting based on Ch 7 saying Macrae was the sub and Ginni was dropped.

Wow neat ‘I told you so’!

You get the Magpie supporter medal for today mate. I’ll make some phone calls to arrange the public holiday and victory parade.

Think we all would. If only they played interchangeable roles

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Some of you guys need to go and touch grass with the amount of melting taking place here. Moore, Murphy and McCreery were always going to be automatic inclusions. There was going to be a hard luck story.

I think most arent melting per se, just upset for noble. This time of year always has hard luck stories.

Presti being one…
