How do we beat the Pies?

Featured Replies

McDonald - Cloke

Dunn - White

Garland - Elliot

Howe - Goldsack

Jetta - Fasolo (most dangerous small)

N Jones - Pendels

Cross - Beams

Tyson - Macaffer (I think this is what Bucks will do)

Grimes - Young (Young is playing the distributer role, Grimes to play defensive forward)

Dawes - Frost

Pederson - Keefe

Frawley - ?

I think we have the tools in the back half to cover them.

The midfield battle will be fascinating and will be where the game is won and lost.

We may be able to stretch them forward of centre.

 

Bail i reckon will play as a defensive forward on Young, i reckon we will look to kick it to Pedo or Watts wherever possible going inside 50 as Frost and Keefe will take Chip and Dawes imo leaving the other two potentially outsized

i certainly think we have all the tools to beat them, will be very interesting

Dunn to cloke- better one out defender

Tmac to white- able to go with him athleticism

 

I'll leave it to Roosy and our selected 22 to continue on their established path of continuous improvement, but I'll also assume that the question posed in the header refers to the collective 'we'. If 'we' all get along to the 'G' on Monday arvo, and match the noise made by the 'filth' supporters, I reckon we can help lift our boys over the line. I'll be going home hoarse, but be saving just enough during the game to belt out a few healthy renditions of the Grand Old Flag after the siren.


very simple answer - kick a higher score !

Beat me to it. Having said that, I think we are in with a real chance on Monday. If the boys can build on recent performances and not be over-awed by the crowd and the Collingwood "names", we'll match them up pretty well. I think it might come down to belief in the game plan and in each other. We seem to have done a fair bit to bring that to the fore this year, so I'm looking to a hard fought contest over the four quarters with us running out 9 point winners!

last 4 weeks our average score is 80..

Collingwood's season average is 91...

furthermore, extracting the WC loss shows our season average points against is 81

essentially what I'm saying is that our percentage on recent form is close to even (100%) and the Pies are only a goal or so above average in terms of their scoring power

those numbers suggest a very tight one

can we kick around 13 goals? Dawes is in for a huge, huge day

I like the fact in the interview he said "I owe it to the team for getting suspended" here's hoping hes in career form! we'll need a few to stand up! i am tipping us to win

Who's on Swannie? Can we get Simon Godfrey back?

I'm not entirely sure of the alternative, but if Dunn goes to Cloke, we're screwed.

What is it with Demonland posting half our posts twice all the time?

somtimes when you hit post it doesn't return you to the thread, looks like it hasn't worked.. if you hit send again it posts it twice


I'm not entirely sure of the alternative, but if Dunn goes to Cloke, we're screwed.

I would prefer having frawley on him, but he is now firmly in the forward structure for the time being. dunn is the our best one on one defender and having garland coming third man up. Roos seems to be having either grimes or vince across half back to help out. Guess we'll find out match ups on monday

By kicking a bigger score

about 10 years ago when I started reading footy forums, I did not laugh at these type of posts

8 million times later it has not increased in comedic value

It's not really about matchups, it's more about pressure and getting numbers around and to the contest. The matchups will sort themselves out

IMO, it's certainly about both. Matchups don't take care of themselves. Our FD needs to identify suitable matchups and back up plans. If they do that and our blokes don't bring the Richmond/Adelaide intensity, then we won't get anywhere.

Tackle hard, run hard, pressure - pressure - pressure, make the most of our opportunities up forward.

I think we can't leave Elliot and Swan alone in their forward half either. They will need some attention for sure.

 

Think they'll isolate Rivers in the square with Cloke.......... oh, wait......

It doesn't really matter who you play on Cloke. I suspect Tom Mc will get first dibs but if Travis is on song running Darth Vader out of the square with him won't help. He is too big and too strong overhead for anyone we have got. We just have to hope he has one of his off days.

Chip can easily handle him

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
