Preview Rd18: Changes & prematch discussion vs Collingwood

[Hearts to hearts]

Are we assuming Cox plays after being out yesterday? If he doesn't, last thing we need is another tall defender.

 

[giantroo]

AFL Tonight: "Brown was in doubt for yesterday's match with a neck injury and was sent in for scans today but will be fine to face the Pies."

 

[muttley45]

You can practically guarantee that Levi will go to Higgins, we should not let him do the job without a bit teamwork from us to help Higgo out.

If figjam wanted to alter the play of our midfield, then he should send Levi to tag Ben who will be doing a run with role on Pendles/Sidebottom lol

And seeing Sidebottom is coming off a game where Hutchins successfuly tagged him out of business, he will be keen to fire up, i have some bad memories of him having a picnic on the outside v us not that long ago, i would make him No 1 tag target.

Who says Benny's gunna play ?

If we stick with Clarke, maybe he tags Sidebottom on a wing?

We had a win at the MRP with Greenwood only getting a fine. He is as big a ball butcher as there is in the AFL. He makes Gibson look elite.

Jacobs would be a massive in. Pies looked terrible when Sidebottom got shut down and no Trelour.

 

[Hojuman]

Pretty sure he said after the game it was more of a head issue not the neck? Either way confusing and concerning, hope they're sending BJ to the best for treatment.

They got those $5 chinese neck massages at shopping centres. Maybe do the trick ?

Up there with the crappest Website in the world afl.com.au. They have so much unnecessary content that it shits itself all the time.

Clarkey wouldn't keep up. Sidey an absolute jet. He is very, very good.

 

[shinboner magic]

Out turner, rat, Clarke

I’m Jacobs , walker , McKay

Daw stays forward - McKay to play back
Morgan wasn’t that bad and deserves another game.
Lmac very lucky to stay in

Itchy trigger finger lol

 

[arden station]

Thought crossed my mind as well. Problem is he can't kick.

Funny you should say that - while DE doesn't tell the full story, he's in the top 4 at the club at 77% is Marley.

Both are slowish with huge engines. Surely Clarke could do it.

If Pies bring back Cox, I would look to add McKay to the emergencies and be a late in for Taz. Give him a bit of a rest because there isn’t a huge matchup for him this week

[Billy Not Really]

As long as LDU stays in I'm happy.

Move Jy forward to Turners position, put LDU in Jys spot in the midfield, bring Jacobs back in his spot.

Morgan out with Murphy depending on the conditions of the day.
Bring Walker somewhere in the forward line?
If not, bring McKay in to Majs spot, put Maj forward.

 

[Horizons_00]

agree! Small forwards aren't tackling or kicking goals.

Fix this and we will be a difficult team to built

Brad should be in all small forwards ears “pressure, tackle, chase!”

Clarke is the least accountable player on our list. Him tagging is an extraordinarily bad idea and wouldn't work at all.

Also, while Hrovat has been poor there is no way he is getting dropped when Brad says we're a small forward short in his presser, plus Turner is in doubt.

Out: Clarke, McDonald/Simpkin (if Jacobs is fit- one needs a rocket, the other a rest. Both survive if Turner is out, Simpkin fwd)
In: McKay, Jacobs

Williams - Tarrant - Thompson
Wright - McKay - MacMillan
Dumont - Higgins - Ahern
Atley - Brown - Anderson
Turner - Daw - Ziebell

Goldstein - Cunnington -Jacobs

Int: LDU, Morgan, Hrovat, Simpkin/McDonald

 

[XU1-ROO]

I’m going for 3rd week in a row. In Walker!!

 

[Moti]

To those wanting McKay, who does he play on? The Pies are small except Cox. Just can't see the reasoning.

 

[domiroo]

The way he played yesterday was always there. Just needed the right scenario and ball use.

I’ve always been optimistic about him . Unlike many on here .

Coxless they are small, big Cox changes it somewhat, with balls flying high we'd need to be coming over the top ,Maybe we could be attacking from rear?

Clean ball use will be the key.

 

[ferball]

Don't understand the calls to drop Morgan, especially for Murphy.
