2017 Rd 7: pre game protestations Carlton vs Collingwood

[BluePhantom]

Being the Filth, Thomas will come in.
And being a big game BB will want to blood another junior. McKay?

Cannot see McKay coming in unless Casboult doesn't come up.

I wouldn't play Casboult, Kreuzer and McKay, they would just get in each others way and I can't see Casboult or Kreuzer getting dropped this week.

The good thing about SoJ, and what we will miss, is that he makes space and knows where and when to lead. Jaksch or Jones could be in for a run, Jaksch did OK down back and might cut it as a sub for Weitering, but the Pies are not blessed with talls so the mix we go for will be interesting.

The filth obviously get Reid back.

Don't be surprised if we see ACoS get a forward run, his size and pace could be damaging off a flank against the filth!

Pies bat deep in the midfield....dont think we have the players to tag all their better players and will need to back some of our blokes in to match them...
Pendlebury was allowed to run free last season and destroyed us, cant let him play on Cripps and hope for the best like last time, he is just too dangerous, agree on Sidebottom but I'd be tagging Treloar also....
All their taggers work both ways...Greenwood, Adams and Crisp so Gibbs, Murphy  will have to be mindful.....Adams had 27 possies playing on Selwood thats way too many for my liking and he uses the ball well.

I'd play Williamson on Wells who never picks his man up....

I reckon that Greenwood will be all over Cripps. He might require a bit of unsociability?

3rd game in 12 days for the Pies, we should go in with every chance to win this.

[pew2]

we should bring in more runners like cunninghham or blokhorest or armfield,we need to stop there run from our fwd line .

Cripps is rarely tagged for 2 reasons.

One is very hard to tag a contested beast as they work inside and tagging doesn't have much of an effect except they lose a player around the contest if they do it.

And two is Cripps main negative is as we all know his lack of pace away from the contest so most mids know he will get them inside but they try and hurt us the other way.

Tagging means they lose in both of those situations hence why they wont do it with him IMO.

Murphy on the other hand can be tagged and I think Greenwood will go to him IMO.

They will also pay respect to Doc and Simmo as these ones set up as much of our forward moves as our true mids.

Curnow needs to go to Pendlebury as I reckon Treloar will burn him for pace.

Hard to see anyone being dropped but Silvagni and Fisher might both miss.
Jones could replace Silvagni, he's strong and in good form so he deserves a shot.
Thomas was BOG in the magoos so he's the logical replacement for Fisher who I really rate,  Boekhorst is another option.as well as Kerridge, his disposal is questionable to say the least but his body strength might come in handy against Collingwood.
Shame to see that Dylan Buckley isn't putting his hand up for a game, he was in Docherty's draft so he's had plenty of time, this year will make or break him you'd think.
I'm expecting a close game.

I think Weitering has a very slim chance of getting up. He was downstairs for a considerable period of time and that in itself is a tell about how sore he is likely to be. Even if he does play he may well be well off his best.

Interesting post Shawny. I'll be very interested to see how it pans out.

The guy is a freak, gets hurt every week but gets up for the following week every time. That "old head" of his will always strive to get up and play.
