    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
