Preview Preview/changes v. Collingwood @ MCG - Qualifying Final

[Daemon]

Hibbo in, I won't entertain any other opinions.

Salem can bugger off for him, offering nothing at the moment.

 

[Topkent]

JDG plays as a pure mid. I think the pies coaching staff would be stoked if Hibberd lined up in the middle to tag JDG, in replace of Brayshaw, Viney or Oliver.

Not at the centre bounces, forward of centre mate.

Edit- Never mind you're not a normal
JDG sucks, so does Collingwood

 

[Topkent]

Oh dear God. Please tell me Max is just trying to save face for Grundy. There’s no way they’re still thinking of running with the two of them. Surely not!

Don't think you listened to this did you? He basically said he'd play with anyone

Nup just read the headline.

Pretty standard Max backing in his teammates.

Would also be dumb to say anything but in that situation.

Gawn also knows that he needs Grundy if we have to play a final against Port. Otherwise Daddy Lycett will beat him up again.

Always feel it’s lazy analysis to blame leg speed (Not saying you’re doing it).

Geelong 2007-2012 and Hawks 2012-2015 weren’t the fastest teams across the ground but the ball movement was electric. If you use the ball well it travels faster than any player anyway.

Strong post

Very intrigued for lineup and roles for this one. Smith to make Moore accountable seems obvious, does Hibbo come in? Who plays on Elliot? Tmac seems a better option instead of Grundy and then have JVR do the second ruck.

Yay, it might rain Thursday...Do we ever play well in the wet...

Firing up the Changes v Carlton/Sydney thread as we speak

 

[schmuttt]

Depends what time the rain hits, the MCG drains very quickly.

 

[Bluelegs]

Rain, eh? Better bring in all our tallest players.

 

[jikost]

If it rains I hope we instruct Lever to just double-fist everything 30 meters back towards our goal. I'm already having nightmares about the greasy ball slipping through his hands while attempting an overhead mark and Elliot, Ginnivan and co walking into an open goal out the back.

So he should punch it towards the goal?

I might be missing something here, but he cost us goals against Port and GWS attempting tricky overhead marks in poor conditions, when the correct decision would have been to just thump the ball back where it came from.

It's so weird how we're so poor in the rain. Rain usually makes it a contested, defensive game and aren't those two things supposed to be our #brand??

To be honest I reckon the rain thing is a bit over exaggerated. We'll be fine

Who is worse in the rain? Gremlins or the MFC?

Would not want to play Gremlins in the wet. They'd be everywhere!

They'd give away frees constantly for too many on the ground, would get flogged.

Would be very difficult to manage a head count though

Petracca will miss his usual 2 or 3 easy snaps regardless if it’s wet or dry
