What was wrong with Mayne today? Thought he was great.

 

[wicksy]

Mayne won't be going anywhere.

OUT Flynn/Levi

Why on Earth would you drop Wells. He set up multiple goals today and is all class!

 

[Old Spice]

Out: Daicos, Appleby
In: Howe, Varcoe

Out: Greenwood/Appleby

Out: Mayne/Daicos
In: Varcoe

Out: Mihocek
In: Reid

Howe absolutely must come in, it's either at the expense of Greenwood or Appleby depending on match ups. If we keep Greenwood, we can have him shut down Petracca all over the ground as an option. But Appleby has been good and clearly will continue doing so. I'm just not sure the Dees have the small forward for him to go with this week. Is Garlett injured??

Gee I hope Varcoe is good to go. Too deft to have sitting on the sidelines. Especially in games where touches matter, he could be the difference. Clearly ahead of both Mayne and Daics, but would keep Mayne if we have to choose. The other option is Wells if he's not quite right. I reckon he was just going through the motions today though.

Mihocek had a brilliant debut, apart from his third quarter. Was really good, I think we should pump games into him. BUT for this year and when we have the choice, we should go with Reid. I won't be disappointed either way though.

I'm tipping a 20-30 point loss at this stage. The Dees are looking really good despite a fairly easy run. But it's a game of momentum and they have it right now. We've got a bit but we clearly have our kinks to iron out too.

Massive game!

 

[Frankie23]

In Howe, Reid
Out Daicos, Mihocek

Appelby isn't going anywhere, Fritsch/Hannan are perfect match-ups.

Wouldn't of thought Varcoe gets up considering his prior history.

 

[Gaben]

They said during the week that Varcoe will be left until after the bye.

Howe for Mayne for me. Wells for a potato

 

[Old Spice]

If no Varcoe then Howe for Daicos, Greenwood can move up the ground.

 

[Matt_352]

Every coach there, let's send a message and beat these cocky bastards. Shit stain of a club.

 

[PieBeast]

The way Wells plodded along makes me think they should have "rested" him for another couple of weeks.

Mayne shouldn't even be close to our best 22 if we are serious about achieving anything this year, absolute waste of a spot.

Arrogant, useless, grouse shooting toss pots who wouldn't know the difference between a game plan and a share register - hope they choke on cheap chardonnay and crappy stale 2nd rate cheese platters

 

[domus]

Out: Greenwood, Daicos
In: Howe, Varcoe

Need Appleby to take one of Melbourne’s 15 small flankers

Varcoe has been ruled out till after the bye.

 

[domus]

In Howe and Murray
Out: Mayne and Daicos

 

[domus]

Gee I hope Varcoe is good to go.

They said after the bye a few days ago.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

I would consider dropping Wells for Murray.

Not on this one, I’m afraid not.

Besides Pendlebury, Wells is our most skilful player.
He sets up, he is pure class.
He’s our “Cyril” so to speak.

Just too good to replace, in my view.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Out: Daicos, Appleby
In: Howe, Varcoe

[unplugged]

Looking forward to Grundy vs Gawn. Cox was also good when he went into the middle today although the opposition was pretty poor.

I'll be honest and say I haven't seen a lot of the Dees but if you look at the games they've played, their form line is very, very similar to ours.

 

[Gaben]

I reckon Stephenson will get left out before Daicos this week. Think the extended run has caught up with him. 5 disposals, 3 clangers is a poor return. He has been good, but Daicos had a better showing today

 

[Bored_Pie]

In Howe, Reid
Out Daicos, Mihocek

Appelby isn't going anywhere, Fritsch/Hannan are perfect match-ups.

Wouldn't of thought Varcoe gets up considering his prior history.

Reid for Mihocek? Hahahahahaha

 

[RunByThePool]

Not sure of which players will come up yet. Hard to drop anyone from a good win but Greenwood is on the cusp for mine. Well's wasn't great but if fit, the upside is too good. Daicos got into it a bit more in the second half so probably keeps his spot.

 

[Bored_Pie]

He just had a bad game. They are professional athletes, unless they are injured, they aren't tired.

 

[Kirby]

Why in the hell to people keep saying out Appleby???

He keeps beating his man, wins one on ones. I'm not sure what else he has to do?

Anyway, he's no chance of getting dropped. Our best (and only) lock down defender.

 

[leahcar]

He is a first year player and judging from our game against richmond, professional athletes do get tired

 

[Quicky]

From Bucks presser, Howe will be right and Reid touch and go. Most players "of name" expected back after the bye.

 

[blackwhite2010]

In: A bigger Collingwood fan turnout . Our crowds have been on the lowish side this year for our normal high standard . 34000 today was a little dissapointed considering tigers got 45'000 for same game

Should be great atmosphere next Monday. Can't wait.
