Hartley going the punch to nullify Cox bringing the ball to ground for his forwards will be beautiful if he can do it to the advantage of Saad, Bags and McGrath.
I hope Jackson kicks 5 & has Collingwood fans leaving the ground bemoaning “who the hell was that guy” just like we have in years past. Having said that I am still shocked that he’s been picked. I thought he should have been played every week in 2016 & when he wasn’t I assumed his papers were marked. Even now I can’t help but think surely Clark is in better form, has more upside & fills a bigger need as their midfield is their only strength & we shouldn’t need another small forward against what I class as a weak backline.
I guess if Myers can play his best ever game at 29 then there’s hope for Jacko yet.
If he can play a blinder and stay in the side for a while only to be pushed out by Raz, perhaps Collingwood will want to bring home a Merrett (Great Nephew of Collingwood and Cobden legend Thorold) and offer us something for him (not that I want to get rid of him if he shows enough form).
Would be really nice for Collingwood to be pantsed by a Stewart, 2 Merretts and Harts.
I hate these assessments as they come back and bite you - opposition is as weak as p_ss in areas A, B and C and what happens… they star in areas A, b and C and we stink it up in those areas we are meant to be dominant in. We are a good chance to win. Bring our good game and we are an excellent chance to win it.
Games are won with pace and manic intensity… height
useful, but not if those big forwards don’t get the footy. Anyone watch the Grand Final? Enough with the overconfidence, Collingwood mids are good, game not done and dusted.
