Preview Preliminary Final: Collingwood v GWS, MCG 22 September, 7.50pm

[unplugged]

I think our bottom 6 is better than theirs and that's what will win us the game.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Not sure its wise, according to this. Even though IQ has improved 1v1. But he does get a lot kicked on him.

GREENE TIME​

Collingwood's Toby Greene matchups since 2020
142 minutes: Brayden Maynard (one goal)
59 minutes: Isaac Quaynor (five goals)
35 minutes: Nick Daicos (nil)
29 minutes: Jeremy Howe (one goal)
19 minutes: John Noble (nil)
16 minutes: Jack Crisp (two goals)
10 minutes: Nathan Murphy (nil)
3 minutes: Darcy Moore (nil)
1 minute: Pat Lipinski (nil)

Looking at your list, let's say definitely not Quaynor. Bruz would have to take him.

I thought greene might be too quick, but those stats suggest bruz is the man. Can always swap if needbe

There’s the justification to keep Lipinski in…..

I'd sacrifice Maynards game and put a heavy tag on Greene.

To be fair on IQ I’d be interested when these stats come from. Greene def hasn’t faced 2023 (should have been AA) IQ. Still, maynard looks to be a good matchup

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I'd sacrifice Maynards game and put a heavy tag on Greene.

Although the article says that in the game in 2012 when he spent 48 minutes on him without Greene kicking a goal, Bruz still played an offensive game and had 18 possessions without Greene kicking a goal. In the other 59 minutes of that game, Greene kicked 5 goals against Quaynor, enough overall for the BOG award.

If we can't beat the orange team and miss out on the granny then it's a blessing in disguise.

 

[thebaldfacts]

We controlled the game tempo in the last quarter against Melbourne.
I thought we did it a bit early, though.
Time to engage the warp drive now.

Pendles on a show l saw, Jock and Journo, said that at 3/4 time, Elliott said to him, after the 3/4 time break, are we going defensive too early?

That suggests we went into tempo mode and why l hope that we are keeping a bit in reserve for the PF and GF.

Elliot said something like 'im worried i hope we don't get too defensive'

Greene got hold of IQ once a few years back when he first came into the team
IQ is a much tougher better player now and could still do the job

 

[JuniorB]

I like it when no one gives us a chance, we play best as the underdog than when we are favourites. Hope many others drop off us too

All the pundits will jump off the orange bandwagon when it hits a huge pothole on Friday.

IQ would fare far better now than in the past.
He was a kid with potential, now he is a player who should have been AA.

 

[davywap]

If I gave a flying f*** what he thought, I’d watch his show. Why, if you don’t rate a commentator’s opinions, do you think we would be enlightened by you sharing them with us???

 

[JuniorB]

Yes, and the players we have recruited on the cheap to fill specific roles have been big winners.
For example, Bobby cost us a second round pick - absolute bargain!

is their midfield bull. In his last 12 games, he’s had 10 Games with more than 15 Contested possessions. Insane.

 

[frizzle]

I think we will win comfortably. It's Brisbane that concerns me.

Relax! It's OK. We've got our inside bull Lipinski to go head to head with him.

 

[Football God]

Friday is so far away this week is going to go so slow.

But who's going to provide the leg speed if he's playing inside...

Savour the moment. As a child I yearned for xmas. On reflection, the eve was always the best, the day never really delivered, especially after the inevitable family meltdowns with all the pressure. So it is with Collingwood and finals. Don't rush through the period of high expectations and chances, they so rarely deliver. Pumped for this one tho, should be a tough and high pressure match.

I'm on a week off night shift and we play Friday night, I'm wishing this week away

JFN could come in due to matchups.
He's not suited to playing on gorillas, but he would be well suited to playing on players like Bedford and Daniels, who are small & quick.
