Prediction Round 18 Changes. Freo vs Collingwood.

[s_wd6]

So do I - because at his best he's way better than both Pearce and Cox (unpopular opinion).

If we're talking about best at their peak, I think Pearce has them all beat. He was a completely different player in 2019 than now.

He's literally never been able to kick the football over 40 meters, he is merely a good hairspray.

He was an AA lock that year before getting injured.

 

[FDH16]

He was an AA lock that year before getting injured.

A lock....

I'd say in the conservation at the halfway mark.

Again, he's never been able to kick the football with any penetration or distance - hard to be an AA calibre player when your disposal is such a weakness.

 

[FDH16]

This could be an 80+ point massacre.

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

Support the first suggestion. Completely dumbfounded by the second one.

We are gonna get belted. Might as well move the magnets around a bit. Maybe it will give Jackson some confidence overhead.

 

[Dockeroo]

this could get ugly if the pies turn up in the right mood

 

[StingBitten]

In: Hamling, Wagner, Sturt and Banfield

 

[Dockeroo]

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

Dogga starting at the bounce.

 

[StingBitten]

I'm OK with this for the most part - Sturt gets another go, Banfield has been dependable most of the season and Wagner needs another crack.

Wilson would've made more sense but I guess his stamp is marked, Noddy for Serong perhaps but what's the point?

 

[s_wd6]

In: Hamling, Wagner, Sturt and Banfield

Pies trembling in fear

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

O’Driscoll most likely sub?

 

[Dockeroo]

Is Banfield replacing Serong in the middle or something?
Or will Sturt rotate though there? Curious changes.
Wilson will be the sub I assume

When vic media is calling a wa player a lock, then they are a lock.

NOD sub

 

[Dockeroo]

Sorry - NOD is confirmed sub

 

[apuchar]

 

[Footskill]

Return of Banners

At least those here will have someone to scapegoat if we get smashed

Wouldn’t mind Banfield in there tbh.
Aish will be inside. Switkowski/Jackson in there hopefully

 

[Joao]

We're so **** now that the Pies are resting players against us.

 

[arsesmart]

Banfield to pack his legrope and double velcro it to Nick Daicos early in proceedings.

 

[Silencer83]

I want Amiss to kick 3+ and Hamling to sneak forward to get his first goal as a Docker... Both seem rather unlikely.

 

[estibador]

I don't think it'll be a complete drubbing and I'm hoping we'll be more switched on early on the back of all the criticism, but at a minimum it's likely going to be one of those depressing games where the opposition will just sit in 2nd gear and keep Freo at bay with relative ease.

This is how I see it going too. With our outs Collingwood will switch off a bit and be in cruise mode... which will still be more than enough for them to cruise to a 5-8 goal win without us ever looking threatening.
