Re: Rd 7 : Pre Game Thread - Blues v Pies - shawny - 05-06-2016
I am actually feeling confident and we are playing a decent side. Been a long time since I last had that feeling. Imagine we had a few decent forwards!
Its a game that could do wonders for the young players - how good would it be early on to build real confidence in the group and what a better way then to knock over the old enemy when no one expects it.
Back in 70s and 80s we were respected as a team and never considered pushovers and for good reason too. Supporters were arrogant but could back it up. How good would to be to get that feeling back.

It's games like these that really worry me (although I don't have a lot of confidence either way). Pies are down and out, players injured, out of form a couple of their better players as late withdrawals then BANG they end up smashing us. Seen it happen too many times before.
Really hope Kreuzer has a great game. Took a season high 4 marks last week so I'm praying he's getting some confidence back. Kreuzer wins we win.
Also, if Thomas can have another good game that would be a great result.

This is a tough tough test for us. We have struggled to put together a string of wins over the few years and since we have won two in a row, three in a row will be difficult. We look a bit short down back but by the same token the big American is someone we could run off. Collingwood are in the process of falling apart but whether they have unraveled enough for us is what we will find out tomorrow. Walker and Everitt will help our forward line, and if they can play with the same confidence they showed from the 25 min mark of last week's third quarter, we may be able to put a winning score on the board. Of course Cripps will be a big inclusion.

Tend to agree...
I reckon it will be one of two ways...
1. We have our best forward lines and we all click offensively and win (we are due to just click)
2. The first 6 weeks hit us hard and Collingwood find their feet and win 10+ goals.

Agree. Jones would be a good choice to support Kreuz in the ruck.

Jamo a possible late change if Cloke comes in.

You can bet it'll be Casboult doing that role.
I've always found Kreuzer and Casboult to be our best ruck combo. Has been for a few years. Allows Kreuzer to ruck for longer, which suits him alot, and allows Casboult to run around the ground taking marks, which really suits him. Also means he's not close to goal to be kicking at them...lol.
