    Settle he’s not that good, I’m more worried about our half back line

    All the sick and injured players were named and of their 4 emergencies, 2 of the 4 players played today. Only Markov and McInness realistically available just as JJ & Taj didn't play today. 

    Doubt there will be any late changes.

    Bring in Woewodin!

    How does James Jordan continue to not make the team, whoever is coming out for Oliver in a week.

    No mcstay. That's good.

    I know he'd be underdone but we've struggled against mutiple talls, most notably against the bombers.

    Cox and Cameron will split ruck and forward- and both push forward at times - mihocek plays tall, as does Johnson, so a fit mcstay would stretch us.

    I'll be curious who tomo plays on. Cameron and Cox?

    Mihocek is brilliant one on one and  tomo isn't. But I wouldn't mind seeing tomo take mihocek.

    Similar size, and mihocek gets on his bike, which suits tomo more than wrestling with Cox and Cameron 30 mertres our from goal.

    May is s much better option for the two rucks.

    If petty, who we are really missing,  plays forward when he returns after the bye, there's a spot for tomo down back. Love to seem him take it.

    He is moving more like he did before his knee, much more agile than last season, has a great tank and is a lovely field kick. So he has a good shot at it.

    Really hope James Jordon isn't the sub.

    In all games that he's started off as a sub he's made zero impact coming on. And that's purely because he not a impact at all. He's a role player who's also limited at times

    Woewodin at least comes in and provides some fresh energy and zip into the team.

    Look I’m probably going to sound whingey (dilligaf) but if you cancel sportsman’s nights because 2 of your players have the flu, they should have to pass a rigrorous medical including respiratory illness testing

     

    I mean what kind of mid 1800s infectious diseases circus is the afl running when CLEARLY INFECTIOUS Collingwood players can spread the flu amongst the oppo

    You'd think if Woey was in as a sub, there would be a bit more of a build up. I imagine his dad would be presenting the jersey, or at least hanging around the club.

    JJ as sub, Woey as emergency.

    The late teams we’re probably due to a number of Pies players waiting for negative COVID tests. They are not held back for normal illness. 

    I would be amazed if they can play out a full game. We should walk all over them in the 2nd half.

    We won’t and should not debut a kid as the sub. Especially the son of a former champion. It’s just not right.

    Add to that the Perth factor and you might be right.

    In a no horse**** move, Goody appears to be keeping Mr Ed well 'stabled' on the named interchange for the start of the King's B'Day thriller. Brayden Maynard was disappointed as there was no duck on the filth dinner menu. Brayden will be offered a serving of humble pie,         cold.

    It's unbelievable how many posts in this thread are about who will or won't play for Collingwood. 

    WGAF. 

    Two years ago we lost to them and they had about 6 of their star players out up in Sydney.. 

    This game will come down to our pressure, ability to execute the fundamentals consistently most of the game and ability to win contests all over the ground. Regardless of who is in or out. 

    We owe this feral club a beating. And it will all depend on what mindset we bring to the game. They are not invincible, but I trust their ability to perform more than us atm like most do. But it will have nothing to do with outs. 

    Port beat us with a VFL level forward line by bringing a mindset and application all game. Hawthorn the same against Brisbane. 

    Completely in our hands.

    I was at that game in Sydney. My son’s first game. Fitting really. 

    The table of expectation now turns and we can just play some tough footy.

    I always thought this would be a game around two specifics...  respective defences... and 4 qtrs of run and pressure.

    If we come to play ( seriously) we should have the tank for 4 qtrs.

    Collingwood 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe not so much.

    If we can be a least evens at 3/4 time i suspect those collywobbly legs will get very heavy ...for some.

    Interesting game ahead.

    Go Dees

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
