Preview Round 16 vs. Gold Coast, PFS, 4:35pm Saturday 29/06

[MagpieJoel]

Adelaide are shit every week apart from the 2 weeks a year they play us

And we still beat them.

 

[Gaspard]

Like North Melbourne a fortnight ago, Gold Coast present a different challenge. Having weathered the worst of the injury storm with extraordinary contributions from the fill ins, and overcome the complacency bug that surrendered such a huge lead, Collingwood will have to deal with a new challenge of avoiding relaxing to let the returnees carry the load. Every week is a challenge, our form is not dominating by any means, and they have yet to lose up there this year.

This year is such a difficult one. Please footy Gods, don't inflict new or recurring injuries on us. Keep Nick Daicos alive and fit. Allow our coach the mental clarity to see the best way forword.

If there’s any amount of uncertainty around De Goey, please for the love of god don’t play him

I don’t give a shit how many tests he passes. Can we just please learn from last time?

 

[76woodenspooners]

My tip:

Mihocek comes in for Reef
Pendlebury comes in for TJ
DeGoey comes in for Macrae

That leaves us with 4 developing players still in the team:
Harrison - looks very comfortable at the level.
Dean - getting better every game
Krueger - with Mihocek back in, Krueger allows Schultz to go back to being a small forward.
Sullivan - good coverage for Mitchell being out.

Sounds good although personally I’d rest JDG another week and avoid the travel.

Twilight game on the Gold Coast. Likely to be slippery conditions. Wouldn’t want to go too tall at selection

 

[whiskeytown]

Out: Macrae, reef, TJ

In: Pendles, mihocek, De Goey

Sullivan or Markov sub

Will be a challenge… GC a 5 goal better side up there

As much as Pendles makes returning from injury look easy, I'd be loath to load the side with too many players coming back from soft-tissue injuries.

Mihocek is coming back from a hammie recurrence which is always a risk.

JDG (and the team's finals chances) might benefit from resting him for an extra week.

Otherwise, agree 100%.

Sullivan or Markov sub

I don’t think Markov played last game, did he? If not, you’ll need another out for him to come in as sub.

This will be a bloody tough game to win. Mind you I thought the same of the corresponding game last season and it was our easiest win of the season.

This will be like a grand final for the suns and it has banana peel written all over it for us. If we don’t bring close to our best game (see first half v north) we will be beaten.

I thought it was a clever misdirection tactic from Evans. He knows hell will freeze over before VIC clubs are playing home finals interstate so what he was really doing was highlighting his perception of the inequities that exist for VIC teams with the GF and northern clubs with their academies. His view would be that you can’t address one without addressing the other. Hardwick on 360 also just went out of his way to highlight their schedule heading into this match which coincidentally is the same as our lead in to the Bulldogs match…

Evans comes across as a smart operator, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given his experience. Sensed it was a play for attention rather than a legitimate proposal. The balance between Vic and non-Vic clubs looks to be changing under Dillon and Kane. Where that change lands will be a watch.

 

[gouki88]

OUT: Jiath - McInnes - Macrrae - Sullivan*
IN: Pendlebury - Mihocek - Richards - De Goey*

*I think De Goey is more likely to miss the GC trip and come back for Essendon, based on nothing at all beyond a gut feeling.

FB: Maynard - Frampton - Dean
HB: Quaynor - Moore - Noble
C: J. Daicos - Pendlebury - Sidebottom
HF: Richards - Mihocek - Howe
FF: Schultz - Kreuger - Hill
FOLL: Cameron - N. Daicos - Crisp
INT: Harrison - Lipinski - Hoskin-Elliott - McCreery
SUB: Sullivan

Howe to play forward as the third linking option. Hoskin-Elliott can slide up to the third tall role in the few minutes that Kreuger will ruck.

Given Dillon has been part of every key decision made at AFL House over the last decade or so, I wouldn't be expecting too much change other than the continued growth(attempted growth) and focus on the expansion teams.

Looks about right. If Jordy gets up, who will make way?. Dean might have to miss out

That would be my guess. Howe goes back, De Goey into the side and he / WHE play more forward.

I can still see it .. free kick differential.

Funny. Hardwick's old club are the worst by miles, but his new one are streets ahead

Goals directly from frees’ ladder

Carlton on top,
..then daylight
..more daylight
..some other teams

Was quoted during the broadcast of their last match by Brayshaw I think

 

[domus]

Everyone keeps naming Pendles as a likely in but the footage of him clapping one hand on his arm as Maynard was chaired off the ground last week was not a confidence inspiring sight.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Alot of ppl saying reef out?

he was a big part in our comeback in 2nd half against the roos
