Gonna get towled

 

[Otiman]

Collingwood just lost to two top 4 sides, and we just lost to a side who won't make the 8.

I'm confident and will no doubt place a little wager like i did in the old days when I'd take the ferry to Sorrento TAB.

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time.

Sinclair for Ross
Hopefully Stocker is alright, but even if he is he will probably get weeks for hurting poor Dangerflog's knees.

 

[Miha]

Please play Mitch in the middle

 

[denisp]

We will be winning this one - MCG big crowd - Sinclair available will make a sure thing of it

 

[Max the great]

Please play Mitch in the middle

Along with windy and henry and sinclair.we lost the game in there against geelong.

 

[SaintSteele9]

The space to really show what we’re trying to craft with run and speed. Our backs can hold their forwards to a very manageable score - more optimistic for this than the Geelong game somehow!

Stocker did not look good after that collision. I would be surprised if he gets up with such a short break.
Hopefully we look at McLennan to come in and play small as we will need a small defender for Schultz/Hill/Elliott but have a feeling we will just shuffle the magnets.

IN: Sinclair
OUT: Collard
Byrnes sub

If we go in without Stocker and Jweb we'll be as soft as butter. Gus is all we got unfortunately.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Cordy will stay till at least round 5.
Midfield needs reorganisation.
In Sincs and Jones. Out Crouch and Stocker.
Leave Collard in and bench (sub) Higgins. Wilson has good closing speed and pressure for a forward, so does Collard.
B Wilkie, Cordy, Windhager
HB NWM Battle Bonner

 

[The Jack]

Not sure we’ve got much hope Thursday tbh. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[cooperrules]

GET RID OF ROSS AND CROUCH FOR FFS PUT MITCH IN THE FARKING GUTS FFS.

 

[marcus1232]

We will be fine.

 

[Yabadoo22]

We are lacking another genuine lockdown defender option without Webster/paton. Stocker fights hard, but struggles against the nippy smalls, I haven’t seen much of McLennan, but I think we might have to see if he is up to it, until at least Webster is back.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Ok so this goes one of two ways. Collingwood are depressed from 2 losses and play poorly we are fired up from our loss and play out of our skin. We win.

Collingwood are fired up by their 2 losses and play out of their skin. Our average form continues and we lose.

 

[Veer Right]

We will be fine.

No reason at all why Ross can't be that defender. He's already a solid tagger when required.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

No reason at all why Ross can't be that defender. He's already a solid tagger when required.

Reasons:

He’s too slow and lacking in agility (imagine him on Schulz or Hill)

He’s poor by foot. Would hate him clearing defence

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

The teams flying at the moment are the ones using youth. No excuses to keep pushing old cripples out in wheelchairs to centre bounces.

 

[beside the seaside]

With Sincs and maybe Butler coming in, this is a huge opportunity. Collingwood have looked slow.

Let's get this season kickstarted. W please.

 

[Leigh58]

Our preparation and focus will be compromised as usual.
Collingwood will sense this, regain their confidence and upset us further.
I truly hope I am wrong!
