I know that just because we were less than impressive in a 10 goal win and the Pies were impressive against the Cats that it means absolutely nothing when the two teams play each other a fortnight later. To say the Pies will smash us is a silly comment.

I agree. The Pies especially haven't shown a lot of consistency this year. Sure, they might beat us, but I wouldn't confidently punt on that. In fact, If I were to punt on this game I would back us in (against Collingwood). If you were to factor in the NAB cup we would be the more consistent side. How anyone could confidently tip Collingwood is beyond me.

You don't know much about footy if you think the matchup will be the same. Collingwood are a completely different side than 1 mth ago. We would've got beaten by 15 other sides last weekend

And we have only added Petracca, Stretch, ANBHunt, Garlett, Newton, O. McD and Vince, so l guess that we'll get smashed by the 'new-look Pies', especially when we also bring in Oliver and Trenners!

How much are you in for?

I'll take $2000 we finish inside 6 goals of Collingwood

I'll put 10g on it. Third man up may just be Jeremy Howe who's confidence would be sky high after 2 good games in a row, something he previously couldn't do in 99 games with the dees.

Wherever jack returns, bank on him being 100% fit and ready to go. Roos does not bring in players who aren't ready physically or mentally. He doesn't have to with adequate depth this year.

If he is fit enough then I hope he plays. He's a versatile player and it will be great to see him back in red and blue. He could play midfield, half forward or half back. With Viney out for a few weeks and a few youngsters struggling, hopefully he gets a gig.

OMac last week, Tyson this week definitely wasn't 100%. Lumumba played, was horrible, and then was found to be suffering concussion and has since missed 3-4 weeks.  I appreciate the sentiment but I don't think it's correct.

Especially with no Taylor Adams, Fasola or Moore for up to a month.

that hurts them far more than no Viney hurts us.

Just because a player doesn't play well, doesn't mean they are injured.

Lets just hope that he has a good one and can hold his place long term. Go Jack - Go Dee's

How was omac not ready? Lumumba has played 200+ games, if he tells coaching staff he is ready, they believe him. Difference between playing poorly and not being ready.

Spewing from a personal pov if it is this weekend. I've said from the start that I would travel anywhere to see his return but with my young blokes Auskick gala day this weekend which he's been looking forward to, I'll unfortunately have to switch priorities and make it over for the QB game.

Will get just as much joy watching it on the Tele.

OMac may not have been injured but IMO he hasn't been ready physically or mentally.  This has been discussed at length on other threads.

Roos said after the St Kilda game that he (Lumumba) was suffering from concussion and probably shouldn't have played.  

Tyson's form had been improving before he picked up a virus.  Last week was either an incredible drop in form or he was still suffering the affects of the illness.  I'd back the latter.

Also Roosy has acknowledged a few times now that they should have dropped some of the younger guys because they were sore and/or tired.  In effect they weren't 100%.

I think they'd be quite reluctant to rest Tyson given Viney is already out, but otherwise i think he definitely needs a week off.

Would be amazing to see Trenners back, but gee I'd hate to see him come back in a game where we get smashed.Hold him backs week. QB comeback in front of a massive crowd, we roll the Pies and Wattsy kicks 7. That would be fitting

How about we not try to manufacture scenarios and just play the bloke if he's ready and makes us better ?

And also allow him to get re-acquainted against the best competition in the league. No point debuting him against Collingwood who will probably be softer than Hawthorn.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
