PREGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood

[Hunt29 275]

They only have one tall. I assume frost gets Mihocek. May to Elliott. Omac is surely surplus to needs this week. Hire hopefully late in for Omac. Although I suspect Lever a chance to miss.

Stupid decision not to play Hore, as it was last week. You have to ask - what the F... is going on?

[Sorry kids 635]

Winnable game may be lost at selection. I hope not, it would be great to beat Collingwood as they run to the finals.

Ok so Oscar gets a game in front of HORE

Whos has been very good to outstanding in most of his games

CLUB IS A BASKET CASE

And yet people get called all sorts of things when you criticize the Club here. I just assume they do not realise you can love the jumper, the team and the player and at the same time hve little or no respect for the Club based on 55 years of failure and mismanagement

You can’t build a players trade worth playing them in the twos...

Pruess out and May in are two major improvements for this week.

Give us a win for the love of god MFC!!

[DubDee 25,526]

I wonder if they'll try Wills (a mid) up fwd - 192cm

Magden also 192. a defender they might play fwd as they have Roughhead, Scharenberg and Howe down back

So I reckon O Mac will take one of those 2 donkeys.  talk about your mouth watering match ups!

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

Easy peasy!  We are going all out for a Casey finals berth.

Hore helps Casey's cause!

but ..........................!

[titan_uranus 24,966]

The only reasonable explanation I can think of for OMac getting a game along with Frost, Lever and May is that one of them is going to play forward/ruck.

That does not sit well with me.

Hore should be playing, OMac shouldn't, and we should still be able to find someone to relieve Gawn.

[whatwhat say what 22,651]

Happy for O Mac to do the donkey work forward and ruck

If we play May anywhere other than where we want him to play long term I’ll be ropeable

I'd argue playing the individual in question is harming his trade value.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Lets all think we are tanking to cover up the fact the club is in shambles

[WERRIDEE 5,433]

Oscar over Hore #tankmyths

Given the weather forecast, Collingwood’s form and our form the clubs bottom line is going to take a massive hit tomorrow hard to see more than 35,000 there. As we seemed to have learned nothing this year and wet weather footy on the cards I am predicting another easy loss coming up.

YEP and a natural inside on baller in the back line

Our football department is a depressing mess.

[pitmaster 3,512]

Hopefully Hore will be a late in. This is a huge opportunity for our mob to show they can play wet weather football. In the wet it becomes a commitment game. This is not coming as a second half surprise. We all know what it's going to be like. In some senses the wet is a leveller. The game is not as quick although skills still count (gulp!) as Richmond showed last week. Bring the right attitude and we could surprise. 

Hallelujah! I still believe!

May, Lever, OMac and Frost all named against a short Collingwood forward line, in the wet. Surely there'll be at least one late change?

My guess is May will play forward and Hore in for OMac.

I legit cannot in the world find a simple Match up for McDonald.  

The only reason I can think of is that we are now officially tanking for Noah Anderson. 

It's an absolute joke that Omac continues to get a game. Yet to find a supporter who thinks he deserves hit spot.

Then you have the problem as you"ve stated, who the F*** does he match up on?
