Agree with the majority - Pedersen and Smith for Smith and Lever. 

With Stretch as the emergency, Garlett for Hannan if he doesn't get up.

Edited by bing181

 

In two minds about Stretch. Has talent no doubt but seems like your standard "good VFL player" for mine. Pedo is clearly a league above at that level, Stretch gets the job done but I don't think he's AFL quality.

Pedersen for Smith will happen Petty for Lever will happen Garlett for Hannan will happen. Simples.

 

Not related directly to the match preview - club website says:

Advice for train travellers: Buses will replace trains between Flinders Street and Westall stations on the Cranbourne and Pakenham line. Buses will replace trains between Flinders Street and Moorabbin stations on the Frankston line.

The Metro Trains website says the buses could add up to 75 minutes to travel time.  http://www.metrotrains.com.au/planned-work/buses-pakenham-and-cranbourne-29-may-to-17-june/

If on those lines, look for options or leave early.


Happy that Melksham is named in the starting 18, big in.

i reckon the bench is Nibbler, J Smith, Pedo and Garlett (for Hannan, inj)

Didnt Pedders get knocked out at the end of the VFL game?

Thats a fair recovery if so.

Must commend him.

Pedo and stretch for mine, think hibberd will play levers role and a runner will come in to play the role hibberd was playing

Pedersen will play forward and Stretch isn't a defender.

Under your scenario the inclusion would be Hunt.

I Think mmm...... J Smith, Garlett and Hunt will come in, for Lever, Hannan and Bull.


I can't believe it Pedo's going to get a game, I thought his career in the seniors was over.

I'd prefer J.Smith over Petty to replace Lever.

Garlett only comes in if Hannan isn't right.

Think this may be correct, SBF, you nailed it:

  • ANB for run, aggro and linkages;
  • Pedo into this awesome forward line, ruck reliever for Max's hand which will be sore after smacking Grundy in the mouth;
  • JSmith into CHB, or bckpkt match-up, with HIbberd going into CHB, as an aggro bs/tard;
  • Garlett to tickle Lynden's funny bone.

Gosh, Golly, it is good to see Pedo in the side: I have counted three goals, already.

If Stretch is a better bet than Hunt or Garlett then I'll eat my hat!

Spargo has been named in the starting 18 so he won't be dropped.  Hannan is the one who might make way for Jeffy if he isn't right to play.

I was just continuing the tradition of suggesting he needs to be rested.

We can rest him later in the season in the Grand Final, he will be knackered from the Prelim, hes only 18 after all.

WTF this repeated talk of resting Spartacus??

We have a bye to follow. 

 

Very exciting Monday ahead - two in form teams with two dominant ruckmen and plenty of other captivating match-ups.

They have more pace, we have more precision.

You would have to think Smith's omission came partly about because Cox can be damaging as the back-up and logic says Pedo is better insurance, both against Cox and also if O-Mac gets hurt or Mihocek carves up Joel Smith and we have to send someone back.

I reckon you'd have to go Joel Smith first before Petty but I may be wrong on this - but Casey reports suggested Petty was quiet last week. There is also a case for Hunt to get a gig before Joel Smith, but I suspect that would mean more of a mismatch on Mihocek, although Hunt's pace on Stephenson would be useful.

If Hannan is out (as mooted by some), then don't be surprised if Hunt comes in as it gives Goody more options down back if their pace exposes us.

Obviously with zones and switches these match-up will rotate a bit, but I can see the following happening:

Jetta - Stephenson

Oscar - Cox

Vince - the Hyphen

Joel Smith - Mihocek

Hibberd - De Goey

Salem - Thomas

Jordy - Wells/Mayne

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
