Changes vs Pies Anzac Day

I give you Moore and Howe.
But Frampton and Murphy…

We lost to St Kilda.

Pies had St Kilda’s measure for most of the game

We’ve really only had 1 win against very good opposition

Fair enough Pies start favourite. With their last years performance in mind also.

I’m happy to go in underdog anyway and no doubt BDB will be razzing players up on it

Loved moore’s press conference where he said Krueger is a competition and will come in and compete like he did at vfl level on the weekend gone.

Ummmmmm he had 3 disposals

Frampton i don’t rate at all but Murphy is quite a solid player.

This narrative Pies fans are building up for this game as “underdogs” is quite impressive…

Yes, I know the odds aren’t “everything”. (Gamble responsibly)

Pies fans just getting excuses ready in case they lose.

If I was them I would be feeling extremely confident coming into this game.

We are in good form, yes, but they have owned this day for a considerable number of years.

They play at the venue more than us (3-0 this year), are involved in way more “big” games and have a good track record of performing well when it counts.

They are delusional to think they are not heavily favoured.

I think it’s important to understand that it’s only the defenders that are holding their depth. The mids and the forwards are pressing the ball. And creating dirty entries. What we saw last year was defenders consistently get well forward of centre when the opposition had the ball and that was what was exposing us every week

Yep the easy one out the back and coast to coast annoyed me to no end, especially when you had Hepp chasing, trying to shut them down.

Weather forecast is getting better by the day which I reckon will suit us.

I think both teams are better in the dry.

Collingwood ball movement is their 1 wood.

Is the extended team announced today?

Good. Didn’t they all pick Melb last week?

Aside from mins 0-25 in first quarter and 10-25 in the last quarter when we concede something like 10 goals to zip, we had St Kilda’s measure. Two lapses severely cost us.

Couldn’t possibly be. The game is still 5 days away.

Post whenever main training leading into the game is

Yep. Sunday night after main training. Captains run on Monday.

I’m not expecting a lot from Frampton.
