Reid will play at CHB....played well last time we met and took too many uncontested marks...

If young Jack SOS is out, I'd trump for Liam Jones. He is in some sort of red hot form. His marking and physicality has gone through the roof. get him in when in such good form. This would be his best chance to have a decent AFL game IMO. At 198cm or so, he is incredibly quick, agile and versatile, so I think even though he's a big unit, it's not like we'd be bringing in a lumbering type.
Think the headache for the Pies of Casboult, Weitering, Charlie Curnow and Jones up forward would be welcome. Jones can have a run onball/ruck or back if need be also.

Would be farcical if Alex was dropped.
Agreed that Jones has earnt a call up to the 1s. Appears his versatility can only help his cause....

I mentioned Reid because Bucks mentioned on radio last week, when being grilled about players being "managed", that Reid would also be looked at for a swingman type role. Apparently he has played forward before a did OK? ???
That was before last weekend victory though so plans change. ;D

Looks like Varcoe out for the Pies.

I'm more concerned about their small forwards in this one. We don't have natural matchups down back for them. We have Doc and Simmo but both are too valuable to be shut down close checking a dangerous forward.
Fasolo, Elliott and Sidebottom when he rests forward are my worry. Rowe/ACOS will be able to handle Moore and Cox IMO and Marchbank is there if Reid (think he will play back)/White return. Apart from GC game no other big forwards got us this year and after what we did to Reid and Buddy last week im confident in this area.
That means their only way to kick a winning score is through their smaller forwards and mid's hitting the scoreboard.
Need a massive defensive midfield effort this week. A winnable game if we can do it.

I'm concerned about their mids resting forward as well, but not their small forwards. Fasolo is kicking terribly at the moment, Elliott isn't close to his pre injury form, and looks rusty as. Is Blair injured ?
Whilst not natural match ups as such, I reckon Marchbank and Plowman can cover Fas and Elliott easily.
I'm moore worried about More ;-)

Yep. Elliot must be due for a breakout and Fasolo and Sidebottom can be dangerous at anytime.

And Varcoe is a big out for mine. He's one of their few players with real spark and zip, and runs hard both ways. Has to be a big plus for us.
Re: 2017 Rd 7: pre game protestations Carlton vs Collingwood - cookie2 - 05-02-2017
Not sure about Blair, whether he's injured or not. Always seems to do well against us though.
