Changes against Collingwood.

Big outs. Mansell is certainly not Vlas.
Maybe not but Mansell will be a good match up for a Ginnivan. Good game for Gibcus to play the chop out role. Balta on Mihocek, Grimes on Kmart Dusty, Gibcus as the interceptor.

I'm penciling in Air Gibcus for the rising star nom this week.

I can see us winning this game comfortably.

Pickett & Mansell in for Prestia & Vlastuin (sick)

Definitely weaker after that.
but still good ins ...
Dion it seemed was under a cloud anyway..
Vlast a shame, but happy to see Mansell in, he's no shrinking violet

They obviously want a defender to come in ahead of Syd who is playing/training as a forward

You mean they want another defender who is apparently training as a forward to replace another defender who is playing/training as a forward
 
And now Stack can’t even break into the team in front of Mansell Rubbers.
FMD I give up. Think he’s now officially on the outer and will probably be gone by years end.
Gutted

Mansell is the only natural defender from the emergency list. Plays hard, runs hard. He might even line up on and rough up GinnaGIRL

Would rather Stack in the backline. Not sure if the MC have collective amnesia but Stack was playing well there late last year.

Game is a genuine 50/50 with those outs. Massive for game for both sides, we need to find some consistency.

Ginna might sucker Mansell into multiple free's against and Mansell certainly doesn't need any encouragement in that regard ;) Rioli on Ginna for mine

Bit over-stated. Mansell has given away 1.1 frees per game in his career, the same as Baker as an example.

I find the fact that marlion is 23/24th pick after his form this year, astonishing.

Can we beat these *smile* pricks?

We've only beaten them once in the past five meetings.

*smile* over it.

I want Stack in the side but we have lost a defender so can see the logic of bringing Mansell in. Will play on Gineven

I admit I don’t watch a lot of other teams now, but glancing at Collingwood's list I didn’t know half of them.
Tigers by 5 goals.
They do have 9 players who have played less than 50 games. They're an average 1yr 9mths younger per player than us.

Stack played his best footy for us as a defender.

It wouldn't have taken a vast leap of Imagination to get Stack in this week, and keep Mansell out where he should be.

Our Scrappiness index is much higher this week than last.

We had two poor users last week in McIntosh and Castagna. (RCD an honorary mention). Now we have four with Pickett and Mansell in.

We might have replaced like-for-like positionally, but not like-for-like in style.


The only thing Prestia and Pickett have in common is impact. The only thing Vlastuin and Mansell have in common is the stripe on their Guernsey.

Also, do not take this as a sleight on Pickett. I want him in the side. I just don't like this balance. I would much rather we go in with just the two scrappy users in Kmac and Pickett, when they offer something else.


Ball use is king.
