He and Cox could make life very difficult for our defence.McStay was a good out for Collingwood in the premiership season and when he came into the team late was when they lost games. He doesnt do what Mihocek does in terms of creating goals for his smaller teammates and being that team focussed FF who sacrifices his own game and if Weitering picks him up he wont get near it imho.
I think that the Pies would be disappointed with Schultz but he seems to save his best footy for us, as do a few of his teammates. Their confidence will be up after having their way with the Tigers and I suspect that we’ll be in for a tough night.
Cox with his size and our lack of it down back will cause problems for sure if the supply is decent but its going to be our mids and forwards who are going to have to be better and stop that rebound slingshot game so our backs can at least have the time to cover their man.
Not sure the Tigers are a great form guide but I expect Collingwood to lift for Pendlebury who will be probably go down in history as the greatest Pie player but I still expect to win comfortably and reestablish us as a contender.
