I reckon Collingwood would be wishing they had our box hill players to promote into their seniors

Essendon last year.
It's irrelevant. Collingwood won't need the media to tell them that if they lose this week their premiership defence is over. Equally our group won't need the media to explain that a loss will pretty much put an end to the finals push.

Oh fully agree, was saying that people often try to use the contested possession stat (that Daicos is leading) as a comeback to people calling him soft but both are pretty inaccurate haha.
Hes not as soft as some people make him out to be (for the memes) but his numbers are definitely helped by his free kick count
Retro jumpers this week yeah.

There's a lot of tall poppy syndrome on this board when it comes to Daicos particularly.
You don't need to be a "bull" to be a contested player, there have been plenty who don't fit that categorisation that are all time great mids. As far as Daicos goes he's a top 10 ground ball player, top 5 centre clearance player, top 5 clearance player and a top 3 contested ball player. He doesn't get an unusually high amount of free kicks either, at least not to the level of a player like Selwood.
He's definitely not going to shrink to a bit of attention. Let's just hope that if Nash is thrown to him he can curtail some of his impact and match him in his strengths like he did with Serong on the weekend.

Either Sicily plays injured, or he goes in for surgery. There's no resting him at this point, and he's going to go in for surgery at the end of the season anyway.

Or he can eat some magic beans. You’re always so quick to dismiss the magic beans option.

They do it to other clubs as well. Love to create false anxiety for the sake of clicks.
So many 8 point games......

Bloke just kicked 3 while injured, reckon he will be fine.
Ah. Essendon must have gone down the Magic Beans path. That's what the paperwork would have shown for if they could have found it. Magic beans aren't illegal!
I hope they send Maynard straight to him. Ginni will be in his head from the get go and kick 6 on him.
What about magic mushrooms?

Collingwood's midfield does not function when Daicos is closely checked by a competent tagger. We've got one of the best taggers in the game, why not use him?
Stood by Nash at the centre bounce then followed by Finn coming in from a wing or half forward.
Get Finn and Ginni in

We haven't really gone to Finn for tagging much at all this year so I don't really expect that to change.
Nash I think might be best to match it with JDG although Newcombe also fits that mould.
Josh Ward is my left field option if we are going to go for a full on tag.

To be honest and also considering the opposition I rather we rest him so can heal his shoulder. He is our best defender (may be one of the best going around) and we need him down back where he belongs and we need him most.

Hardwick or Sicily to rotate forward at times. Cannot see Gunston playing with the chance Sicily has to move there, seeing as that’d be too tall.
