Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

 

Salem had a hard tag on and Bowey played well, not sure what game you were watching.

At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

Tell Tommo that.........

[OhMyDees 1,397]

Words can’t describe just how pumped I am for this game. 

Last time we played Collingwood in a final was 1989 at Waverley and we got the W.

We also rolled them in the 88SF, a fantastic day at the G with a bumper crowd, some pre-game fisticuffs and the classic September Colliwobbles.

I can't wait to play them again, I want to see Viney and Sparrow bulldozing them and knock them off their perch.

Sorry I’m not trying to pick a fight, but you can’t be serious about Salem having a heavy tag, who & for what reason would he be tagged for, to stop those dinky little kicks 

l also thought Bowey was a bit loose today

They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

We could play both him and McVee. Not suggesting we drop McVee but we might want to go smaller against the Pies.

In fairness, Gawn hasn't done much over the last two weeks since the Carlton game, being the sole ruckman..

Salem has been non-existent for the last few months unfortunately. What's up with him?

But who you are you dropping from our current defensive 6 for Hibbo?

It can't be a tall because this is a set up that Goody has decided against since half way through the year which no coincidence that we got a run on with our wins since we started with the 3rd tall defender.

Our defensive system is top 3 in most key defensive stats, its right up there in premiership credentials.

If Goody likes a system that is working for us he'll rarely change it up or risk putting it out completely out of wack.

The only reason Hibbo plays is if we lose Rivers, Salem or Bowey to injury.

In Jordon, Grundy, Hibberd & Tmac

Oh god not this again. Hunter's fine. He's one of the last players they'd drop.

That's fine, he's still playing his role. That's all he needs to do.

Goody has already admitted that Grundy experiment hasn't worked as what they thought it be, but again, that's fine. He'll only play if Gawn has to miss.

Internal monologue “I [censored] hate that Hunter [censorino] rah rah and I have I have long running argument with my more successful brother in law about the Grundy trade so I gotta smash him in there, and also Hibbo for that one player I forget his name, and TMac because Grundy’s not going to take a mark soigottagethiminthere…rah”

That’s, well, that’s just silly. This is exactly why I’m worried about the next game

Unrelated but I used to like the Dana White UFC show 'Looking for a fight'. Thought it was pretty good and refreshing as Ultimate Fighter had gotten a bit boring.

I think he’s a better kick, better overhead, can tackle, can tag, can go into the midfield & doesn’t duck his head.

Please add May, Oliver and Fritsch to your outs to make this even more realistic.

Do you think Melksham, Turner & Laurie will play?

Hunter won’t get dropped I’ll admit that & Grundy won’t get another gig, it’s a forum so let’s not all get to angry over people’s opinions
