Game Day Round 6 vs. Port Adelaide, MCG, 1:45pm Sat 20/04

Wonder if Butters will get cited for that hit late in the game

How was it not a free kick?

 

[domus]

It's not who you play, it's the manner you win in and they have looked super impressive. For me, their my flag favourites at this stage.

Giants for me.

 

[domus]

I couldn't believe how the commentators just brushed that off. He just steamrolled straight into the player. No intent for the ball that I could see.

I love the way Butters plays. He goes as hard as any one despite his size.

Really? Giants looking much better at this very early stage

Giants didn't look too special yesterday. But sides can't be playing their best every week, l guess..

He's a tough nut, that's for sure. He gets up straightaway when he's heavily bumped as well. Never whinges.

And Port did? Giants did alright having lost their best player

So true- yet so many here have this unrealistic expectation of top performance each week.

Not any more we don't. I expect the worst now and will be pleasantly surprised if we win. Though a 4 point win like last week means nothing when the team that almost beat us has not won a game and the players who played well against us are barely sighted the following week - Hawthorn last night.

Why do you conveniently forget our performance against BNE?

What have Brisbane done to suggest they are a team to beat this year? They have won and lost the same number of games as us.

They just beat Melb.
My point was our performance was very good against BNE , so your negativity rings hollow.

Yeah, alright.

No Changes

No one deserves a Game from VFL Team

That is terrible news. I was hoping that we would have one or two players making their case for senior selection.

 

[whiskeytown]

Out: Pendles

(Give the ribs an extra week cause we know the opposition will target them when he returns)

In: Macrae

Sub: Lipinski

 

[Kirby]

If Pendles doesn’t get up then Macrae is almost a certainty to come in.

He will probably be sub though as Sidebottom will move into the 22.

Oleg a chance to come in as sub too.

 

[Jen2310]

Butters cleared by MRO, free to play

Knew he’d be cleared.

Hopefully Ed Allan gets a look in, probs won’t though

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Hopefully Ed Allan gets a look in, probs won’t though

Why? He did next to nothing today. Why should he be gifted a game?

 

[Jock1eyemcpie]

I don’t want him gifted games, I was replying to old mate who said Markovs a chance to come in. He did even less the Allan did.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

neither did Markov though

Markov was probably our best player today. Allan was almost unsighted - alright, he was sighted, but not because he was getting disposals, only because he was part of a pack of players at the clearances. After all the hype for him, he is one of the great disappointments so far this year.

Fin macrae was easily collingwoods best player today chief. And he doesn’t look like he’s gonna make it at AFL level.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Fin macrae was easily collingwoods best player today chief.

At least you recognise me as the chief. Macrae was all right, but nothing special. He was not 'easily' our best player. He would not get promoted on the strength of today's game. Markov had a fantastic 3rd quarter and really turned the game in our favour.
