I was mistaken, DD. So sorry for any confusion. We’ll be at the Punt Rd end in M3 where we sit for home games. This is a Collingwood home game but I forgot that they love their City end Bay (M33) regardless of whose home game it is. And we don’t wanna upset the Magpies cheer squad now, do we? 😁

No ....they'll have enough to cry,sook, whinge about ;)

Moore will come in for Frampton which then leaves JVR to take their next best defender and that's Jeremy Howe..

What a gold match up! Howe hates body contact and prefers to sit off and fly for a mark. I'd back JVR to easily put body Howe in a one on one contest.

But is Jeremy going to back...or stay forward ???

Could be Murphy

    Tbh... id take an 80% 21 ver Tmac..   that will do...any better a bonus.

    He knows what he's doing out there.

    ....and he can kick .....that sorta helps a bit lol

    Fritta,Jvr,  Bbb, Milk and all TMac are all good kicks.

    Even Sam Edmond is jumping on the Grundy bandwagon and suggesting he is as good as gone to Port or Swans.  Where do they get all these rumours or is it all click bait.

    Surely Grundy is a required player. Gawn could get injured in the QF especially if that yank slams his knee into him.

    Likely Collingwood line-up IMO:

    B: Quaynor Moore Howe
    HB: Maynard Murphy Noble
    C: J.Daicos Pendlebury Sidebottom
    R: Cameron DeGoey Mitchell
    HF: McCreery McStay WHE/Lipinski
    F: Hill Mihocek Elliott
    I: Cox Crisp Adams Ginnivan
    S: Markov

    In: Moore Murphy McCreery
    Out: Frampton Markov WHE/Lipinski

    Hard to know if McCreery replaces WHE or Lipinski. Could even be Ginnivan.

    Howe may play forward or swing.

    Has there been enough conversation for the last month, both from the supporters here and in the media for you to be persuaded that Brodie may be leaving? It'd be weird for these things to be spoken about if there wasn't an element of deliberation...don't you think?

    Unfortunately, the North VFL team were witches hats, so 5 goals isn't really a true reflection of where he's at. Hope I'm wrong though

    Agree

    The North game was unlike any MFC or Casey game you might see. It was played mainly in that area we generally abhore.. The corridor. North had innumerable turnovers (Casey had a few) leading to good forward 50 entries with players (wait for it)... dropping their eyes and delivering to the advantage of the forwards

    Yes, these imaginary people are despicable. If it weren’t for the fact that they may, or may not, exist - I would be throwing haymakers down at Nick’s.

    Been traumatised by horrible Collingwood supporters in the past.

    They still give me nightmares! 😱

    These journos are imbeciles.

    For a start Port has no picks. They have 37 and 42. Last year they traded their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round for JHF.

    does he though ??  just asking..  Moore and Murphy to come back in  ( more than likely...npi )  possibly releases  Howe to go forward again ?  Collingwood will want as much aerial competency agaisnt the likes of Lever and May .....  it's just a line of thinking  :)

    They will go back to way they started the season with Howe in the backline, they will go with pace on the forward line.

    With Petty and Melk out who will they bring in probably Tmac and he ain't quick and that will leave 3 taller marking forwards which would suit Moore, Howe and co the smart play would be to get our forwards to take moore and howe away from the ball and allow the small forwards to impact the game, I would also have kossie and Tmac don't leave the 30 metre arc.

    Tmac  COULD play out of the square...but we havent played a stay at home since....well..some whiles back now. My observations...  so take with a tiptruck of salt...  Tom plays well often when playing high up as a forward...  In a similar vein to what Milky did ...i.e become that link player...  ball off the HB...to a winger to a Half Forward...  Tom plays that Half forward role well as he is both a good kick and a faily smart judge of where to put it..  He can also play at the sharp end and CAN take a strong pack mark...Just depends on where the ball is and whos had it etc..

    I havent watched him in the magoos so anyone who has what has been his forte there ??

    Oops, thought the Grundy bandwagon might have been him playing in this game.

    Yes you can do that but and play smith back but my concern is tmac is not quick anymore and Pies backline are fairly quick so keeping him closer to goal takes one pie link up player away from the action plus it allows him leading room with a small forward close, just like Elliot and ginnivan do.

    I can see Smith playing a defensive roll on Moore he is perfect for it.

    Smith and Fritta both played on Moore last time and Fritta had 6 scoring shots.

    • 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.
