Rd 7 : Pre Game Thread - Blues v Pies

[shawny]

Hope Daisy continues his form against his former club.

The last time we played them Cripps killed them in the last quarter and Buckley said after the game he put Pendles on him to try and curb his influence. Off memory he got 4 or 5 clear centre clearances in a row in the last term to lead us back. Remember the no look one over his head to Murphy who ran clear!

We have improved since then and I reckon they have gone backwards.

They have Swan, Varcoe and Elliott all dangerous player out.

On our side Cripps (fingers crossed he plays), Doc and Daisy all in better form this time around plus the additions of Plowman, Weitering (if fit) Bryne, Wright, Kerridge and Phillips has definitely improved us in many ways. We also better coached  - just need smarter kicking into the F50 and we are in this game make no mistake.   

Like the Freo game I reckon Bolts and the boys will see this one as very winnable.  Lets hope for the same result.

Hope Weiters comes up for this game, but no  point risking the lad if he's no t100%.
Don't think we e at that stage of our development where we could actually beat Collingwood, especially an angry Collingwood, but boy, would it be an absolute pisser if we do somehow get the chocolates..
Reckon the Filth fans would just about be in riot mode if that happens, and they'll turn on Bucks quicker then an Essendon player at a truth telling contest lol.

Agree - we are in with a very real chance and I will be tipping us.

Would really help our chances for a win if Everritt, Cripps and Walker can all come in.

I just want to beat them - I want us to be the reason why Buckley is sacked.

I want them to hurt and bleed. I want percentage boosters and blood on the floor I want to see head splits and suspensions - I want war.

Regardless of whether Weitering comes good or not, he should be rested for a week and then played in the seconds the week after.

He is too valuable a commodity to risk and he looks a tad tired after his first 5-games.

Letting him freshen up and fully recover from the shoulder injury will do us no harm either.

BB needs to work out a plan to out a grind a win just like we have the last two weeks. The opponent this week is just as "bad" as the last 2 weeks. Have some faith.
Go Blues.

Buckley is not going anywhere.

Buckley is not going anywhere.

If they lose to us, there will be huge pressure on him.

That said, I doubt they will

I agree. We do not want to ruin him.
I wouldn't play Jamo either. His form does not warrant a recall and he spent 3/4 of the last weekend's game off with concussion.
