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

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
