I reckon Joel Smith does a defensive role on Moore. Try and get a match up between JVR and Frampton. Moore will take Fritsch. I’d back our boys in, and they’d struggle against Max.

Moore will slaughter Smith, it wouldn’t even be a contest. Seriously, if we have a one on one with Moore as our only option, kick it along the ground and await the contest, at least gives a chance to try and set up the defence behind. If it’s in the air then it will be coming back faster than it went in.

    More forceful touching from De Goey

    All of the bed wetter 'supporters' that want to talk up Collingwood and take pot shots at our lads will hopefully learn a bit from the WCE match. No team is invincible and Pies aren't superheros. 

    Don't believe anyone has claimed that. Hyperbole much?

    De Goosey will get 4 or more weeks for that.

    Injuries also to Hoskin-Elliott and McCreery although I'm not sure of the severity. 

    De Goey gone also helps. 

    Collingwood showed weakness today and whilst I said less than 24 hours ago that I don't think we could win on current form, I think we csn give them a shake if we bring serious heat all game. 

     

    I have zero confidence against the pies, however I am just wishing it's us that ends their domination this year.  Can't think of much worse watching a Power V Pies GF.

    Anyone looking for a ticket? Decided not to come over for the game and have a spare. You’ll have to sit with my family…. there’s always a downside.

    I almost coughed up a small part of my 7+ marble score, porterhouse steak when I read that ha ha. 

    If Collingwood can be challenged by a rabble West Coast side fielding half a WAFL outfit and down to two on the bench, then this game is right there for us if we're good enough.

    But let's not get sucked into the "De Goey's out" stuff. They bat deep. It's obviously a big loss but we need to focus on the 23 they play, not the ones they don't.

    Just from AFL HQ ,instead of suspending De Gone they are altering the Rules of the Brownlow snd awarding it to him plus he is free to play for the rest of the season. Eddie would like to thank the AFLfor interfering and allowing natural justice to take place !!

    DeGoey, goin’, gone!

    we can win if we bring our defensive game.  That and stopping the poor turnover skills under no pressure.

     

    oh, and kick straight

    In that case I think just the two changes but I’m holding out fools hope.

    Has there even been a hint that Petty will be ready this week?

    Unfortunately Bowey will miss a week (or two) with concussion.  Maybe  Hibbo (or Disco if Hibbo doesn't get up).

    Harmes will be offered 2-3 for what a couple of Cats were not even cited.  Oliver back according to coach.

    Otherwise probably no change.  Goody said that Smith provided a point of difference so will probably stay (unless BB has a pearler at Casey).

    I reckon Smith looked pretty comfortable, given the time he has experienced out of the big-League game. He is a point of difference, as well, with some precursors suggesting usefulness and linkages up forward. JJ should come in and could replace the injured Bowey, rotating with Brayshaw in a half-back to midfield roving, clearance and attacking first line. Disco could play tall in the backline, as well, and much depends on the availability of Petty in this regard, to free up Lever. I'd like to see Chandler in a more 'roving' role through midfield-forward - Kozzie must stay forward forever dangerous, whilst key forwards (ie: JVR and Smith - perhaps Sparrow) lead to space as targets, and link up with midfielders/flankers.

    I still wonder if Oliver will actually play

    This week on the track will tell us a lot I guess Roost. The day before the game marks 23 days since he injured his hammie.

    No. Still listed as 2-3 weeks in injury report and no mention of him by anyone in media.

    Bit like us playing Carlton, just getting the job done without breaking the bank

    West Coast wouldn't do anything like that.  They've lost all their matches.

    Very good.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
