Collinwood had Cox.

Port have Dixon, Westoff, Ryder, Marshall.

dixon, marshall, westhoff, ryder, r gray, wingard, s gray, motlop, rockliff and boak generally make up their forward structure, with generally a 5 man forward line at any given time as they play a structure not too dissimilar to us

(also, given the quality and intensity of those players that rotate through forward line for them, it's hardly a surprise that watts is out at the moment)

i'm more interested in who they'll match up on t mac, hogan, melksham, etc. as we should - theoretically - have an advantage in our forward line as their backline is quite inexperienced, with jonas likely to miss again with a hamstring, hartlett out for the year, and pittard and hombsh the only relatively experienced players out there, despite some talented kids in howard, darcy byrne-jones and dan houston in particular

it should be a cracking game

I have been reading that Dion Johnston has been playing well off half back for Casey.  Could he come in for Vince?

He could but wouldn't it be better against a team from whom we have less difficulty forging a win for his initiation to this level, as he isn't quite equal, for example to an Oskar Baker (also untried) I am told?

Makes the midfield battle crucial then 'what'...'Andrew' was easier...

Sounds like 3 of Tyson, Stretch, Garlett and Petty will get the nod.

So on that basis:

In - Tyson, Garlett and Petty

Out - Spargo (dropped not rested), Hannan, Pedersen.

We're lacking a third key foward/back up ruck so T Mac will have to take a couple of centre bounces a quarter,.

Yep, I was talking about talls in their forward line v our backs. We'll know who is serious about finals come 10pm Friday night

If the "ins" are only coming from Tyson, Stretch, Garlett and Petty, I can't see how Pedersen gets omitted. Structurally he'll still be needed. If Petty plays, I would expect one of the nominal defenders to miss (ie, one of Vince, Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, Jetta, J Smith). Of that group, I would suspect Vince is the most likely.

Tyson, Garlett and Stretch would be putting pressure, I would have thought, on Spargo and Hannan. 

 

Nice words from Goody about Watts, too.

sure does

gawn - oliver - viney - jones - brayshaw - harmes - tyson (possibly) - vince as a tagger on ebert or wines (maybe) - fritsch on the outside - hogan, t mac, anb, melksham, hannan rotating up to the contest

ryder - wines - ebert - powell-pepper - wingard - rockliff - polec on the outside - robbie gray, westhoff, boak, motlop rotating up to the contest

 

For those discussing possible defensive chances, Petty is a much stronger chance over Keilty this week, Petts got a mention in the presser and Decs crook

Hi @Drunkn167

If Petty was to debut, do you think he would cope OK at this stage considering what you've seen?

Yeah I think so. He was the Top under 18 defender in the SA leagues before being drafted and I think he’d be able to step up well, especially in his home state

Just saw Goodys presser.   

Im thinking Petty is a lock for this week and I don’t think Tyson will play. 

It also seems Goody is happy with Gatletts form, so I think he comes in.

They said up to 3 changes Tyson will be the 3rd.

As BBP said IN: Petty, Garlett, Tyson

OUT: Spargo, Hannan, Pedersen

Petty will come in. 

This is how I think the match ups will work:

Dixon, Weston, Ryder and Marshall Vs Lord Nev and the rest of the defence can play as a loose man. 

In Nev we trust!!

I can’t see this happening as it will make our forward half to slow.

Doesn't look too slow to me.

I think it showed against Collingwood that we are still a little slow, so I think making those changes will exacerbate it

I have a nice little Friday afternoon planned before coming home and watching the football. I’m overly confident about this one. Minimal changes, Weed and TSmith in.

Did you know at 1.55 a couple weeks back which Melbourne had shown up against the Bulldogs?

Yes. Maybe I have a poor memory but I seem to remember Jeffy putting in some shockers in the wet.

On the flip-side, Tyson.

It doesn’t seem it is going to be that wet.

I saw between 0 - 0.4ml of rain

Garlett makes the forward line quicker and Port aren't as fast as the pies.

  • 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.
