ANZAC Day - speculation and argument for changes vs Pies 2019

[SeddonBomber]

If we have a counter plan to Collingwood blocking the outlets, our midfield wins.

[Lance84]

Parish stands up in big games. we need him
Laverde was on limited minutes last week, so will get a full game this week in the VFL I believe.

Hearing Devon missed training.
Think he will still play.

Outs IMO
1 - Baguley
2 - Guelfi

If we can expose Pies its with our pace and run, Ham has both of these assets, so he stays in.
If Smith misses Guelfi stays in.

Guelfi was great last week. I can’t see them dropping him and keeping Ham. The only reason i said i’d be surprised if they drop Bags for anybody other than Lav is because it would require a little re-shuffle and the team looks pretty settled.

[The_New_Coleman]

In Crow’s injury report, there was discussion about Zaka & Zac as late outs from last week. Plus a whole lot of others. But not a word about Dev. What’s going on?

[westozziebomber]

Yeah, they do next to nothing

[Lance84]

He was rested because he has sore knees. No actual injury. Just being managed. Ongoing knee issues.

[BringBackMaxCrow]

I think Adams is in doubt and Greenwood is next in line.

[Milanista28]

Aish through concussion is the out I think.

[Deckham]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ham and Parish out for Smith and Zaka.

I think they only drop Bags if they want to put Lav in.

I like Parish but it wasn’t just 2 shanked kicks. He had 4 clangers and 62.5% efficiency.

For mine - Parish didn’t have a great game - but he did have great effort. And he’s come back from a learning period into the side. I feel he needs to be given an extended run - another 5 games, say, before you send him back.

[tippa]

We might bring in langford - to help both the forward line and midfield …wouldnt surprise me if the ins and outs were:

In: Smith | Zaharakis | Langford

Out: Baguley | Parish | Ham

Will give us more midfield power and don’t lose anything up forward

[The_New_Coleman]

He was rested because he has sore knees. No actual injury. Just being managed. Ongoing knee issues.

So why didn’t Crow just take 5 seconds to say: “Dev’s had a week to freshen up just as we planned, and he’ll be available for selection this week.”

[Deckham]

If we drop Guelfi, I’m done.
I’m going to hitch up with Mr Heffsgirl.

[Houli_Dooli]

Collingwood have had a settled side.
They have only played 24 players this year.

we have played 29.

Collingwood have had 18 play every game
and 21 play at least 4
we have had 13 play every game and 20 at least 4 games.

[Red_Territory]

thats only if Langers can be bothered getting out of bed

[Houli_Dooli]

I wouldnt have had Guelfi in the top 10 for us last week.
He is a chance to be dropped.
Coaches like mature bodies so he probably gets the nod ahead of Ham.

I would play him ahead of Baguley

[Elsternwickbomber]

A Collingwood supporter goes into Centrelink to collect payment for her kids:

Worker: How many children do you have Madam?

Collingwood supporter: 12

Worker: Oh my goodness, What are their names?

Collingwood supporter: Nathan

Worker: They’re all named Nathan?

Collingwood supporter: Of course!! What’s wrong with that?

Worker: Nothing madam. I’m just curious how you manage that?

Collingwood supporter: It’s easy!!! If I want them all to come to dinner I will yell “Nathan dinner is ready, I want you all washed up and ready in 5 minutes.” and if I want them to all come inside I will yell “Nathan it’s late, you have school tomorrow and I want you all in bed.”

Worker: So what if you need to speak to any of them individually? How does that work?

Collingwood supporter: Oh that’s simple, I just call them by whatever their father’s name was.

An oldie but a goody! Go Bombers tomorrow. It’s time we won on Anzac Day and it’s time we showed our true colours.

I think Hooker will have Cox covered

I see what you did there.

[Killer_Mike]

Yep, first training session I have been to this year and I wish I didn’t.

You don’t rate him as a mid? That’s where I’ve seen his best work, to be honest. A bit flakey with a set-shot. Super-tough in/mainly out mid. Zaka replacement.

[Houli_Dooli]

Guelfi is ok, but I have Smith and zaka ahead of him.
Guelfi is better in midfield and pushing back into defence.

I dont rate Guelfi as a defender. Ridley/Redman well ahead.
Forward I havent seen that much of him.

And if like for like replacement then Guelfi, ham out for Zaka/Smith.
I still rate Parish ahead of Guelfi as a mid.
just off that 1 mark up forward, think Ham might go ok with his speed down there, plus give relief to the midfield with this big tank…

[Lance84]

Yeah it’s not a knock on Parish. Was just pointing out he wasn’t up to his usual standard. I don’t like dropping guys after one or two bad games either. Tough decisions because Zaka and Smith have to be put in. It’s going to be Ham and somebody. Guelfi, Bags or Parish seem most likely.
