Not in your life jackcass, the Bullies game was a 50/50 game. We are well ahead of this mob........... well I hope they don't come out and play their one game in 200 where they actually all combine and Watts plays physical for a change!
About the ins and outs, Yes I would love to see Marsh make his debut. Sinkers and Adams Back in |

You'd omit Maynard? I'd suggest he had more influence than White, Greenwood, Crisp, Kennedy, Faz, Ox and dare I say it, Blair.
In: Adams, Sharenberg, Reid
Out: Kennedy, Oxley, Blair |
Agree that Adams and Scharenberg come in for Oxley (lost form, tired) and Kennedy (not up to it). Blair is battling but may retain his spot. Love to see Reid back but will be for a tall - White? _________________ Daicos, impossible angle ... Goal! |

Clearly Pies need a confidence boosting win…
Reid needs another week. If Reid does come back Witts will need to be dropped. His form is poor.
Adams comes back in and takes the spot of Oxley who needs a rest. The young guys - De Goey, Maynard and Moore all showed some good form and should keep their spots.
BK was poor as was Faz and White and our fwd line generally however stick with em and give the young guys a crack. Give BK a few more weeks but eventually we need to look at a few others.
Tooves/Goldsack need a good game otherwise we should be looking at Marsh, however.… *If the weather is wet and conditions slippery bring in Marsh for Witts and play Goldy up forward.
OUT: Oxley, Blair, *Witts
IN Adams, Seedsman, *Marsh _________________ Love us or Hate us... we are Collingwood - you can't ignore the Mighty Magpies!!! |

Not too sure what this has got to do with caring or not caring. To many of us, this season was always about 2016 and beyond. Just that a few posters here didn't want to believe it and that's fine, however no one should be surprised.
I'm loving this ride seeing the kids develop. Some will make and and others wont but get between 50 - 100 games into the better kids, add a couple of good key types in the off season and watch us perform. _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

Many of us keep saying that there isn't room for two ruckmen in our side. We bemoaned the folly decision to play Witts and Grundy against Port in wet conditions. He could turn out to be a great player but right now he can't execute much around the ground. I'm tired of the ball slipping through his hands. We can forgive mistakes but if it's a regular occurrence then he needs to go back and work on it until he improves.
Kennedy is starting to reveal why it is that he's been getting overlooked at selection. So much potential but terrible disposal.
Blair had no impact and his spot might be in danger. I know he's a favourite of Bucks.
Oxley needs a rest.
Maynard should have been dropped after the West Coast game.
Making five changes isn't a great idea but we want to win games of football and we really can't afford to have that many of our players make so many basic skill errors. We're playing great football which is why these losses have been hard to swallow. I haven't seen Hawthorn dominated by any other side around the ground as they were against us that night. As a reward for all our great footy we find ourselves outside the eight. I'm thinking we have to win every game from here to make the finals.
If we were to get there, I think this year is the kind of year where a team outside the top four could be a threat. I'm thinking back to 2007. First we'd need to make it of course but we're just the kind of team that could hit our straps come finals. |

Nah - if we win every game, we finish 6th. If we win 4, we make the finals. |

I was a bit harsh on Oxley, but I think he definitely needs a rest to freshen up. Blair, however, has run his race imo. Furthermore, Witts should be dropped to the VFL for a couple of weeks to allow us to play Grundy as the sole ruckman. While Kennedy failed to impress on the weekend, the kid deserves another week or two to find some form. Seedsman can do with another week in the VFL as penance for his sins. Hopefully, he finally wakes up to himself and soon returns to consistent good footy.
So for mine, it's 3 changes.
In: Adams, Marsh, Dwyer
Out: Oxley, Blair, Witts |

Well we won't be kick-starting it with a loss.
Hopefully being back at the G and not the other sheizenhausen's will be good for the boys and we can have a resounding win. _________________ "The night is a very dark time for me" Chaz Michael Michaels |

I agree. Both Ox and Witts look tired. Witts needs to impact the game more with his marking. A spell in the VFL may help.
Blairy is a known entity and would probably play okay against Melbourne, but a spell in the VFL wouldnt't hurt.
Adams is obvious. Marsh's pace and aggression will help. As will Dwyer's class and linkup ability on the MCG. BK had a shocker but deserves another chance. |
