    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.

    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.

    • 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.
