Game Day Round 17 vs. Essendon, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 05/07

[Kirby]

Ask Bont

Caldwell has tagged Nick previously(and got suspended)

Manning up at centre bounces does not equal tagging.

This is a good time for Sullivan to go back to VFL, work on his game, and be fresh and ready when we need a back up later in the year. He should be happy with what he has achieved.

Long looks an upgrade as a mid player compared to both Fin and Sullivan, based on ‘potential’ and limited minutes. Good time to give him a go - wishing him the best - he will be a Collingwood player for the rest of his life!

How’s Eyre tracking so far after injury?

 

[Jen2310]

I was wrong about Dean. He may not play.
Not here at the captains run.
But Josh was. Did a fitness test. So was Markov. Reef. Fin and Sullivan.

Cameron is fine

No Maynard that I saw but that may not mean anything.

Oh damn. I was hoping we'd have our 3 talls in defence this week. Good to see Josh there & Cameron is fine

Interesting. Thought Dean would be an in also - have to wait and see.

I find it strange that Reef is not getting a bit more opportunity. Averaging nearly 2 goals a game in limited minutes. There must be something the coaches think he is lacking. It is easy for forget that he is not 22 yet, he seems to have been around forever.

I think that Sidey or WHE will play the noble role with someone like HH to play wing or Richards just slots into WHE’s forward role

Could/would Joey play wing?

 

[Jen2310]

Could has the tank for it but hasn’t trained there. But wouldn’t rule it out
HH has played there in vfl

Hope you’re right but suspect Josh will go out and Sullivan get a reprieve

Apparently he was out there for the captains run today.... Fingers crossed he pulls up ok.

But yeah, if Josh misses I agree with you.

A loss this week - with other results going against us, we can drop to as low as 10th.
A win, with results going our way, we can be as high as 3rd.

If results go the way the bookies think, we'll be 5th - with us winning.

Games are starting to be critical to win now, with so much completion for spots from 3rd to 13th!

It’s the eight point games like this that will decide our fate. And we have a few of these games in the run home including from memory Carlton, Brisbane and geelong.

If Josh gets up it could just be Long and Schultz in.
Reckon Sullivan would swap with Richards as sub.

I like the idea of Dean in for Noble though , and Longs name has already been called out, so somebody might need to make way for Shultz.

I guess it’s Dean or Sullivan in that scenario… question of what balance works best.

You can scratch Dean out, I didn’t see him this morning

Win the next 2 and we sit firmly in the top 4. 1-1 and we're on the cusp. Lose both and we're up shit creek.

I reckon we’ll win the next four comfortably.

Then the Blues await.

Nate’s caddy should have stayed on the golf course.

 

[Jen2310]

Which probably means they are gonna go with 1 ruck

 

[Harry O]

Goldy dropped then most likely
