Key forward and more midfield depth.

Think this needs to be a serious consideration over the summer similar to the transition the club did with Trent Rivers in doing more midfield training and working on his fitness/core as a plan for Bowy.

100%

You honestly think Shane and the club actually take this into account 😅 Think the family would be super proud of Taj whether he's a starting sub or full game. This is about Taj, not Shane or a decision that occurred 21 years ago.....

Weren't you the one telling us all last year to have faith in our loading program and it will set us up well come finals even though some on here actually raised concerns whether it would? Awks... You went into hiding fairly quick after the Brisbane final.

It's not about romanticism? You literally brought in the " We shouldn't debut him as a sub because he's the son of a club champion".. lol If he was the sub the coaches would be doing a great job reminding him that the sub role isn't purely for one quarter bit to expect to come on at any time. Expect the unexpected, especially when injuries could easily come in the first quarter. It really isn't he worst option for a debut.

Realistically he's the same height as Lachie Neale but probably same build as Zak Butters. I definitely think it can work.

Romanticism should never come into play. Too many of you folks get up in all of that and all the does is add unnecessary pressure on the kid. Jordon simply shouldn't be a sub and it's obvious the Dees coaching ranks have thought real hard between JJ and Woey. So if that was the two options then Woey should be the preferred sub option for me.

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.

Good to hear.

Interesting, @DeeSpencer was so hell bent that Tomlinson would be dropped for Hibberd against the pies because his thinking was that Hibberd could still play the 3rd tall defender lol.. Tomlinson not even named for Casey..

Peaked early? They were literally one kick off a grand final lol. C'mon mate.. We're true definition of a club that peaked early last year.

Wowee.. 🤣 we're a sensitive bunch. Some on here are so easily sucked in by words from pies supporters on a different forum. Only thing that will shut them up is getting the 4 points. Simple. Go Dee's.

Yeah

I'll wager that this doesn't happen. Tomlinson will stay in.

It's another one of QB failed attempt at humour. Dude never knows when to give up..

He's been averaging around this game time for the past 7 weeks.. so in other words since Gawn has come back in.

Yeah weird flex. Collingwood are set on all lines of the ground and play a brand that fans know what to expect. Their ball movement is so much more superior to ours. We had forward issues right from the very start and it never got rectified. In saying that, I think well beat the pies.

26 disposals, 8 tackles and kicked a goal

I've fancied the pies all year but i have this weird sensation that i think well beat them. Reckon there'll be some fired up lads from last year.

McKay is actually listed at 204cm. It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten. I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

I think Smith has to stay another week. In fact I would give him a stretch of 4 games. His stats don't look great but he at least launched at the ball and created a contest. There was some nearly moments there. Goodwin has to back this experiment in and not drop him immediately like he did with Schache, that's just [censored] poor development. He's also versatile. If a defender goes down then we can swing him down back. With that in mind it's simply non negotiable that a tall like Ben Brown simply has to come in. I am having massive anxiety the amount of intercept marks Darcy Moore will take when he's manning up on our CHF players of last night in Kozzie and Spargo. Make this happen Goody

Also, it was great to have Lachie Hunter back. Reckon there's been some unfair criticism on here lately. He was sorely missed against Freo with his work rate and ability to cover space. He's tap in the 3rd quarter that set up the Fritta goal. That pure experience right there when Catlton were coming hard.

I'll give Tommo credit. Came straight in playing several weeks in the VFL and did a good job imo. Look he was probably beaten on the night but McKay is a gun forward who is incredibly hard to stop when it's laced out in front of him and has that long reach. He was also stiffed for getting pinged for holding McKay. Nothing in it. No coincidence that having the 3rd tall defender we see Jake Lever and Steven May replicate their 2021 form. Now leave it this way Simon.

Having the extra tall defender helped Lever and May tonight. Now can we get a key forward in please...
