It’s either that or our game is now more transparent… 🤷‍♂️😊

The dees must have missed that memo.

For example bb is simultaneously a chance if being selected and having his leg amputated.

I'm guessing Coll applied for an extension given the illness at the club. 

Not much point listing the team on a Friday or Saturday if there are lots of changes come Sunday/Monday.

Other than supporter interest it probably doesn't matter much when teams are published.

I can't stand tom Morris.

One, his voice shots me.

Two, he is clueless about football and can't separate gossip with an analysis of the game.

Constantly looking for the controversial take that create noise.

So that knocks out another media optioon- tbe Sunday footy preview or whatever it is called on sen, because it is now co hosted by Morris- in addition to him being on the Saturday crunch time.

Insufferable.

Makes Sam McClure look like Dennis commetti

LOl!  They are a guessing game at the best of times!!

The bookies might be a bit more interested but who cares about them...


If we can't get 'em Monday we'll never get 'em.
With half their best players missing a win for us will mean nothing more than the 4pts.
A loss would be humiliating.

And betting 

Assuming Adam Tomlinson plays tomorrow - Hibberd for Bowey the change, he has a great opportunity to establish himself with May and Lever and put himself in the frame for an elusive flag.  He has the trial by fire with McKay, Cox/Mihocek then Hawkins/Cameron but if he can weather the storm then he can put MFC and himself in a great position.

100%
If he finds his early 2021 form, it not only gives him a chance to get the flag he is after, it solves many of our problems as it will allow Petty to play forward. 
It really makes us a better side if he can fill that second tall role and allow Lever to play third tall interceptor. 

The potential outs for Collingwood are frustrating. Only because a win means…

”Demons get the wood over depleted Pies”

(despite us having four of our ‘21 GF players out through injury)

Or in the case of a loss..

”Classy Pies have the tools to dig deep”

 

 


I see Schace can’t spell his name is playing at Casey ..  not sure on Goodwin thinking here regarding our fwd line ???

I dont care how they sell it....  how they package it....

The scoreboard will show a win....and a win is 4pts.  

That's all we need to concern ourselves with.

Everything else is irrelevant. 

4pts to us is 4pts not to them.. Finito

Go Dees

Pies have De Goey, Sidebottom, Howe and possibly Elliott missing.

Who else is missing from them?

Yep and we have Oliver, Petty, Tom Mac, BBB and Bowey.

I would say we have more important players out, our best mid and all 3 experienced key forwards.

J Daicos, Cox, N Daicos and Maynard all have apparently trained this weekend.

So all the speculation about them missing games due to colds/COVID will probably be unfounded.

true… but let’s not forget we’re also missing Oliver, Petty, Bowie and you could add tmac and / or brown to that. yes they’re looking like missing more but we are not full rat power either.

Lipinski is said to be playing - his first game this year at any level so very much lacking match practice.

Mc Stay also said to be playing - hasn't played for two months.

They may not miss this game but that is 8 players that will be missing or not in tip top shape.

 

It will be seriously depleted of talent, experience and form.  All this must affect their system and fast ball movement.  There should be lots of turnovers by them.

And too much will be left to too few.

When you put it like that, it’s fair to say that Collingwood will never be as gettable all year as they will be tomorrow.

Whether we can take full advantage of it is another matter.

We have not been the best club at beating sides that are supposed to be suffering from adversity

😀

 

Collingwood have been average the last three weeks. They beat Carlton easily on the scoreboard but inaccurate kicking cost Carlton, should have been a lot lot closer. North got within 5 goals or thereabouts and West Coast were only two goals down at one stage in the third quarter. They’re just going along and are tired. I think they’ll drop a few games now, including tomorrow. There are no excuses from us.

Been Bush for a few days. Seems I’ve missed a lot. Clarry is definitely out? 
some Pies may be out with illness?! Has that been confirmed?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
