So keen for this game! Its a hard selection this week. I felt like our defensive structure was better with another tall in Tomlinson but at the same time Carlton aren’t very good so unsure what to take from it. Also feel like Rivers needs more time through the middle a little. Has speed to burn. Hope we can get under Maynard’s skin as he can do dumb things when he’s frustrated. I’m hoping we come out to play, be aggressive (with out going over the top). Time to stop being the pies little b***h. go dees!

We definitely needs fresh faces in the midfield this off season… Why does it feel like kozzy spends 5 minutes on the ground every Qtr? 3 minutes to go and he isn’t roaming around in our forward line when we will 100% quickly boot it in! Man oh man Maxy Gawn I love ya but Jesus toughen up… I know he gets targeted but just basic footy play where all he needs to do is be strong with his body he’s loose as a goose and falls over..

Nope everything’s GA as at the time general admission tickets were selling! They’re Collingwood anyway so they can stay home! Haha

They got the tickets about 2 weeks ago off ticketek, it’s not a membership

My friends got a general admission ticket and unsure what happens now? Can they still get in with it? It’s so confusing what to do

Absolutely loved it. I love how we are called naarm for these two rounds.

Absolutely love it!

Kings birthday goals. Nick Nick Daicos to be humbled and the melbourneeeeeeeee chant to explode pies fans heads. Hate the filth

Out: Sparrow, Spargo, Tmac and Tomlinson In: Lever, Harmes, Schache/BBB and Hibberd/Disco and then send Petty forward

I don’t get it… For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

Yep agree. May struggled one on one with out the help of Lever. Lever obviously now having to do more one on one himself. Bring in Turner to take Pettys spot and lever back to roaming around.

Anyone heading to the sporting globe richmond to watch the game?

Second this

Hopefully not an on going thing this year or for the rest of his(Mays) career Makes me want us to make a play for McKay at years end

can tell footy is back. I’ve been stress free for months and now hearing all these outs prior to round 1 is stressing me haha

Fritta is the only one out of the three I wanted to play this weekend. Feel more confident with him in the forward line

Waiting patiently all day having some bevs, then head over to the G with the fam. Can’t wait!!

JVR round 1 Blake Howes mid year and I’m going to throw a Smokey out there…. Deakyn Smith to take over from Hibberd at one stage

The way he acted when he came off seems to me that he does feel like while training and it’s annoying him. Hopefully doesn’t get any worse during the season

I was standing on the sidelines where Trac ran off and he was [censored]. He said “I just want to be able to train properly” in a angry way. Definitely more to it I feel

Is training today at gosch’s? Thinking of heading over if they are

Last year Goody was obsessed with players eventually getting better whilst playing in the best 22 when there was players worthy of coming in and having a crack in the same position. Grundy/Gawn, Tmac, Brown and Rooey is too tall yes but I hope if one or two are left out of the best 22 we can learn to bring in one of them if they’re playing well in the 2nds and someone in the 1s isn’t. It was driving me nuts last year! He was obsessed with keeping the same team every week which I get a tiny bit but if someone is now in their third/fourth week and they’re playing average well they need to learn it’s not acceptable and you will be replaced

Lever or Trac for me in the next handover

I noticed that too when I went to training on the 9th of Jan. we lacked that last year after having it in 2021. Which I do get it, they did just win the premiership and it happens. This year we have a couple of players with points to prove/last crack at it Grundy - point to prove/at the back end of his career. Schache- last chance at it. If this doesn’t work out for him he’s career is done. Melks- Last chance Tomlinson - Last chance with us Chandler-most likely last chance with us I know last year we had a few players in the same position but I don’t think the other players were really motivated but I think they’re hungry again. Lever looks like a man on a mission and he gets really annoyed when he stuffs up and you can see it in his face he wants to make up for a mistake and that’s just at training. May is an competitive beast and hates losing Maxy looks to have found a new twinkle in his eye with Grundy’s inclusion. Tomlinson trained like a man that will not accept being in the 2’s anymore. JVR looked like a young man who knows it’s his time to shine. To me at training it was like they had last year off and they’ve missed it so much and never want to be away from footy again.. if that makes sense.

Pre season team B: Lever May Rivers HB: Gus Turner Salem C: Hunter Oliver Langdon HF: ANB Jvr Spargo F: kozzy Petty Fritsch R: Gawn Trac Viney int: sparrow Grundy Harmes Bowey sub Tmac I’d like to see Petty up forward for a preseason game and see how Turner hold his ground down back. If it doesn’t work then in round 1 you can have Turner out, Petty back in defence and tmac up forward with Gawn/grundy eventually coming in during the game. Need to start getting Turner in there to learn off Lever and may because he can eventually replace May.
