CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Better back it up now. Will look pretty stupid if they let a one trick pony beat them twice in one year - plus potentially have to face them again in September.

They can only take as many picks to the draft as list spots they have available can't they? So if they have 4 lists spots available they can only use 4 draft picks. They changed the rules a few years ago to stop teams trading a number 3 pick for example for 5 picks in the 30s.

Who gets Elliott? He is probably the most dangerous one of the lot.

Who else do they have up forward? Mihocek if he comes in probably gets May or Lever the other one probably gets Ginnivan. Petty gets the resting ruck (Cameron or Cox)?

Don't think so.

I agree Harmes was poor against the Dogs but it turns out he was concussed most of that game! Problem is the form of the other mid/forwards any of them would be stiff to be dropped.

I'm a big fan of Sparrow I think his aggressiveness and physicality around the contest allow guys like Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Langdon et al to surge the ball forward. Agree on Brayshaw also, would hate to see him moved from the midfield - I want him there for the rest of the year, gives us an extra weapon in there that has been missing.

Spaz isn't going anywhere 🤞🤣

I feel like we should end up with a comfortable 5 goal win but not as confident as I was for last week's game. Cautiously optimistic.

In this instance it's probably preferable to a Demon in the living room 🤣

In Season - Loading/Periodisation: Put your conjecture here.
I gave up on footy classified a few years ago - unless there's some off field stuff going on which Caro is great at reporting on the rest is garbage.

Strange quote from Freo coach
If I was North I'd be going after him - tough to move across the country with a young family but for a couple of hundred thousand I'm sure he'd make it work

I wonder whether they actually have a formal background in psychology at all.

Yeah sleep deprivation etc - I doubt it was the same mob who ran the Crows one but I'm not certain.

Eddie Betts opens up on the weird camp
The stuff alleged by Betts (namely raising issues of racial insensitivity and then being demoted from the leadership team) is similar to one of the allegations found against Collingwood in their Do Better report. "After Eddie McGuire called Adam Goodes ‘King Kong’, Lumumba spoke out about this and other experiences of racism at Collingwood. He also held an internal meeting addressing CFC culture, workplace rights and human rights. When some of the jokes continued, including from team leadership, Lumumba confronted coach Nathan Buckley. Media commentary was swift, and often implied that Lumumba was overly sensitive or mentally unstable. Lumumba was moved from the leadership group of Collingwood."

When they undertake "counselling" sessions and then break the confidentiality by using someones most personal thoughts and feelings against them in front of their teammates as a form of abusing them to teach them "resilience" I'd say that crosses the line. Absolute wankers who think they know what they're doing but have no idea.

Not only that you could argue it cost them the 2017 flag (and inflicted the Tigers dynasty on us).

These are the games we live for as supporters. 2nd v 3rd. Prime time home game. Against an arch enemy. Let's pack the G in red and blue. If you don't you'll be sorry you missed it I guarantee.
