No King is a bit disappointing, assuming there are no injuries I would just assume we are going in unchanged...
FWIW
Collingwood
B: Harry O’Brien, Simon Prestigiacomo, Martin Clarke
HB: Nick Maxwell, Nathan Brown, Alan Toovey
C: Anthony Corrie, Dale Thomas, Jaxson Barham
HF: Scott Pendlebury, Travis Cloke, Leon Davis
F: Tarkyn Lockyer, Leigh Brown, Brent Macaffer
Foll: Josh Fraser, Dane Swan, Shane O’Bree
I/C (from): Paul Medhurst, Ben Reid, Anthony Rocca, Heath Shaw, Steele Sidebottom, Danny Stanley, Sharrod Wellingham
In: Shaw, Rocca, Sidebottom, Reid, Stanley
Out: John Anthony (susp), Dayne Beams (groin)
That HF line is a bit of a concern but their midfield looks very ordinary.

Agreed an all counts.Sobraz wrote:Personally, I'd bring in any one of the 3 in's for Eddy as the only change... But ideally I'd probably go for BigMac so Kosi can spend more time forward...
however, all likelyhood is no change...

either, or.... But I think Kosi settled forward with BJ floating in and out is our best forward structure....bigcarl wrote:or raph so bj can spend more time forward?Sobraz wrote:But ideally I'd probably go for BigMac so Kosi can spend more time forward.
That said, I do think that a fully fit and firing Raph is in our best 22, but I think 2 proper ruckmen is of more importance, so a bit of shuffling still to do...

I would think that, if we move Kosi forward, Gwilt would be the one to make way. He's the one who was playing as a tall last week (on Lake, then Morris). I'm not trying to revive the whole 'drop Gwilt' thing, but if we're going to maintain structure, I don't think Eddy's going out of the forward line for Kosi.ThePunter wrote:Structurally we need Kosi to play forward, so I'd want to bring McEvoy in, but I'd be stumped as to who to leave out. It would probably be Eddy, but he'd be very, very stiff.
My guess is no change.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

geeezz... what do you lot have against Eddy??.... he has done everything asked of him.... the spot is his, we are winning..... the others can bide their time.... let them really work and appreciate a spot in the 22 if /when their opportunity arises.
Failure cannot succeed in the face of persistence......

Gwilt is more than handy because he can play back or forward - as shown when he had to go back after R. Clarke was injured against Sydney.
He is currently playing forward because Koschitzke has not been there (injury and rucking).
I am among those who would prefer to see Koschitzke playing on the forward line, with some utility forays.
That means a ruckman to replace King - and to give us a real advantage against Fraser.
R. Clarke is, like Gwilt, able to go both back and forward.
Fisher, Blake, Dawson and Gilbert are automatic picks in defence, then the "utility" defensive players such as Goddard and Ray would appear to nominally fill the 6 defensive posts.
You would use Gwilt to rotate Goddard and Ray out and you would look for R. Clarke to join that rotation.
A couple of players may be unlucky if my structure is adopted because I would include McEvoy (then King as an automatic inclusion) and R. Clarke.
And I would retain Gwilt.
Now it gets interesting, doesn't it?

Still cant get my head around this idea of moving arguably our most in form defender, whos main strength is run and carry and breaking lines, in to the forward line? Where is the benefit?borderbarry wrote:Raph for Gwilt, Raph to take Sam Gilbert's spot, Sam to be another tall forward. That is my preference anyway.
nothing pesonal, I just dont get it.
Maybe this year?

Collingwood without Anthony, Didak and probably Medhurst, wonder who will kick their goals.
We have a chance to absolutely smash this mob, just hope we take it, I'd love a stress free Monday night starting early in the 2nd quarter with Rex bringing out the fat lady.

Hayes and Gilbert still "playing" in forward pockets but not scoring many goals. Collingwood will think they are on a winner there.
It becomes meaningless when everyone knows that players will never line up their selected positions.
Even more ridiciulous is the postions themselves, they don't exist in practice.
When was the last time Hawthorn had six forwards.
One Hawthorn player admitted thati f he strays inside 50 he gets told to get out.
Soccer once had a centre forward, inside right, inside left, outside right, outside left etc in a 5:3:2 configuration.
Now their coaches have whatever configuration suits.
It is about time that selected teams were shown simply in terms of
Forwards, Defenders , Rucks and Midfielders with all 22 included.

Miles did nothing as an emergency last week so he gets dropped.
Next time he is an emergency he will know he has to play a lot better.
Back to Sandringham to maintain fitness and touch.

well the bottom line is ....what a great in form , very flexable 22 we can put out there ....just love it and enjoying the moment
We will cream these perrenial priks, and if they think they were demolished last time they played us on the G in september they aint seen nothing yet!!
GOSAINTERS!!
Aside:
I sat in the G members at the Semi Final last year, totaly surrounded by Pie supporters! In the 1st minute or 2 when Milney got hte ball the bloke behind yelled "rapist" and everyone twittered I turned round and just glared Few minutes later he was at it again , I think Milney goaled again,and I turned around and spoke to his wife/partner and said "you gotta be proud of your mate there,but .he's not going to see the game out if he keeps yelling out stuff like that in here.
Anyway as the game progressed, I was a lone but very vocal voice as we marched on all over the filth
At 3/4 time (game over )I stood to stretch the legs,as you do, and my glasses fell over to the seat in front . the lady in front also a Pie fan screamed "don't think I'm going to pass them back to you, you have been far to loud all day! . Leaning over to retrieve them, I replied so all and sundry could hear "No probs I'll get em , and if you think
that was loud barracking you'd better get going now and catch the early train home cos its only going to get worse from here on in!
Best day at the G I can remember since '66!

Personally, I'd like Armitage for Eddy.
Again, nothing against Eddy, who I feel has been alright in the past few weeks.
However, Armitage is player who looks to me as though he will respond to a confident group around him. Got the feeling that if he could rack up four or five games on the trot of 18+ touches, it could spark his career to life.

Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
I dont think Eddy is ever going to be a real star but I dont think Armo has done enough in a lower grad of footy this year. If Armo was picked up at say pick 40 would you still think the same way. I think like you I suppose because he was a top 10 pick he will kick on but i am really not so sure.evertonfc wrote:Personally, I'd like Armitage for Eddy.
