Blimey … !!
As you like Matty.
Not 100% its the right call … but if its made I’m OK

Noting that Goldy attended more CBAs.

You can’t just look at his stats in isolation, he massively neuters Draper (who was good on his own the week prior).

It’s a ā– ā– ā– ā–  set up and should end this week.

Unmitigated nonsense.

Does his haircut offend you?

Bunch of players that pop up and have their best game against us are missing for the Woods this week. Daicos, McCreery, Elliot, Noble and Cox.

I think last week against Geelong was always going to be a tougher challenge for us. Essendon by 32

Draper simply hasn’t come on like we’d have hoped.

A few years ago, he dominated Tim English. Now English is a premium AA ruckman and Draper is average as fark!

I’m sure some other unknown players will have a day out.

Draper is undisciplined, bashes the ball forward, doesn’t look for a midfielder. He also offers less around the ground IMO and is useless below his knees. Send him back to the VFL to learn.

Hobbs didn’t play on the weekend because I think he was a bit sore.

As for dropping Wright this week, I can’t see it. The easiest way to get Darcy Moore back in from is having him look after Caddy, Langers or Jones.

So without looking at just stats

Look at the quality of clearances for example,

Goldy gives a clean handball to Durham who waltzes out and hits stringer on a lead

Draper tries to break a tackle then eventually handballs full power into a team mate less than a metre away, ball ricochets away is collecting by geelong and they go forward and kick a goal

There are still valid arguments for Draper but he is definitely not the better player even tho Goldy is 249 years old

Hope Maynard rips his quad 5 minutes into the game :joy: Given recovery time for even mild knocks and the fact he tried to get back on the weekend and was in obvious distress, I’m surprised he’s playing

Maybe he meant the opposition will convert Dylan’s turnovers in goals

We don’t know he’s playing. All we know is some Collingwood fangirl posted something on X.

Is there a box where I get to chose Simon Madden…???

Hmmmmm wonder if some continuity of being solo ruck may help instead of constantly chopping and changing his role (this dates back to Phillips being in the side).

Hopefully he’s over his injury issues now too

a week too late.
