Preview Rd18: Changes & prematch discussion vs Collingwood

[Billy Not Really]

If this is a loss, this requires no further losses on a run home for finals barring disaster for everyone gunning for the 8th spot.

Just look at this fixture.

Collingwood @ The MCG; Already a tough game
West Coast @ Blundstone; Winnable for the home ground advantage but Eagles are still winning and winning away from home.
Brisbane @ The Gabba; Brisbane currently has the highest winning streak and their home ground advantage is huge. This is an upset defeat looming.
Bulldogs @ Etihad; Last we met we won by the skin of our teeth. Another danger game.
Adelaide @ Adelaide; Another away game with danger. Crows are now desperate for a position in the 8. Their home ground advantage speaks for itself.
Saint Kilda @ Etihad; Literally the only game thats danger free.

Easy run home my ass. Not after the losses we've copped at crucial points in this season.

Nearly a year on since this incident

I have always wanted to teach myself to make GIFs. Figured this was a good chance. "Great tackle" as if.

Brodie Grundy, Collingwood, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Ben Brown, North Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round 20 match between Collingwood and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday August 5, 2017.

In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with high impact to the head. The incident was classified as a three-match sanction. The player has no applicable record with impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a two-match sanction.

Other incidents assessed

Contact between North Melbourne’s Ben Cunnington and Collingwood’s Tyson Goldsack from the third quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. The panel said a Collingwood player had the ball and kicked upfield towards Goldsack. Goldsack begin to move to his left to seek to mark the ball while Cunnington ran towards the contest on his line to the ball. Contact was made between the pair as the ball arrived. It was the view of the panel that Cunnington ran in a direct path to the ball and his action was not a bumping action was not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

Nothing on JZ at all.

Cost him the Coleman.

That, and Franklin kicking 10 against Carlton.

I hope he can kick a bag of 10 to make up for it.

Waite interviewed today said he hopes to be back for the Brisbane game.

I think Waite has played his last game.

 

[darko]

He will destroy Atley, too smart and too strong for him.

Not sure we actually have a good match up for him?

LMac to DeGoey.

 

[darko]

Wouldn't mind seeing Marley Williams playing as a small forward if weren't so short on agile, quick defenders. Just reckon he knows how to get to the fall, is agile, can stick his tackles and would end up kicking plenty.

Disagree.

That's up there with Will Walker to half back.

Disagree.

So just keep playing the same small forwards who don't kick goals and can't lay a finger on opposition defenders. The same opposition defenders who killed us v Essendon and Sydney.

No thanks - try something different so we actually might be able to compete at ground level in F-50 and don't expect Will Walker to do this all by himself if he debuts.

Marley isn't a solution. He picks up opposition's best small forward week in week out. Move him forward and we are in trouble down back. I don't think he's ever played up forward.

He does, he's good at it and in an ideal world where we had some quality small forwards he'd stay there. But the reality is we're uncompetitive at ground level in F-50 against mid table sides. We're getting scored heavily against from opposite D-50 exits. We won't play finals unless that changes so it's time to roll the dice.

But relax, it's not going to happen.

Can we win this realistically?

Bring the pressure and clearances, we can win and win well.
