RD 19 Changes V Pies

Yeah would prefer to be the hunter. I also hope we keep some aces up our sleeve. Would hate to show our hand and win this week only to get done in a final.
True b4p ,however even though each game is only worth 4 points, I think this is clearly our most important game until finals

Agree, massive game, both in terms of the ladder and confidence against the pies.

I think there will only be one change. We must see what Soldo can offer against Grundy. Caddy hasn't shown enough off the wing yet, his forward spot is gone. (Chol or Nank)

In: Macintosh
Out: Short

Do we need any ?. Winning form is good form but then you do need horses fro courses.
 
Interesting approach we appear to be using ,re 2 of our battering rams in Graham and Kmac , just a little freshen up with a week of massage and salt baths before resuming hostilities with the opposition

You can almost lock in Nankervis and Macintosh to be the in’s this week. Caddy slight outside chance.
 
I feel that Nank needs another week in the twos. Still prefer Soldo and Chol vs Grundy. Soldo can drop back and contest with Cox in the pack marks. kmac and Markov to come in Short and Baker out (both unlucky).

Not convinced about getting Nank back this week, was a nasty injury.

Short should be dropped, KMac to replace.

Can't see any reason to drop Baker, maybe swap with Stack who could go back. Difficult decision though.

I'd leave Chol in.

So I suppose I'd have Short out and KMac in.

Nank back next week I reckon.

Very surprised if they bring in either Caddy or Nankervis. If Caddy is being prepared for a more defensive role he needs more time, and certainly in terms of match fitness Nankervis also has a lot of work to do.
I would prefer to see him at vfl level rather than against the two best rucks over the next two weeks.
Maybe McIntosh will get a run but if we were looking for someone to throw into the backline in case Cox gets going then Balta might be the one.
Still think no change but if there is to be one,
Balta for Short.
 
Nervous about the weekend, I still think we struggle against pies, roos and Geelong.
The Pies are going to be hard at it, much like port tried but the pies are a more accomplished team.
Unusually for this year i think it will be a close call. Win to the mighty tigers though.
 
Dont care who comes in bit if We lose
Season is done.
Collingwood are on the ropes we just need to knock them out.
Astbury Grimes big V and broad have been good in the last month.
Collingwood have been struggling to kick 70 points a game.
 
Why would we drop kmac and bring him back without playing in the vfl?
 
Why would we drop kmac and bring him back without playing in the vfl?

Well originally it was supposedly to teach him new things but once it became apparent he wasn't playing VFL the new reason was he's being rested. So who really knows.
 
Yep have a feeling we are going to rag doll them.

wish i shared your confidence. still a bit bit scarred from the Prelim. I'm worried about this week. but on the upside, a win means will prove to me we can go all the way.

Langdon and Moore are massive outs for them. Their game plan against us is to mark in their back half and start their chipping crap to spread us wide. Without these 2 they won't be able to mark everything like they did in rd 2.
