Love the Ins.
Also looking for steady improvement from Ben Reid, the big fellas 12th game in 3 years, he'll get better with each run.

Williams is average but Ramsey has a lot of potential |
Ramsey didn't play last week. the outs are Goodyear, Maynard and Williams.

| Always nice when an opposition player doesn't get up for the game, because it makes it a bit easier, but Hogan won't be the difference. The game will be won in the midfield and by applying greater defensive pressure all over the ground. |

Goodyear a bit stiff, like to see kids get a couple of games on debut. Actually thought he had a better game than Blair and brings pace to a team that needs it. |
Agree, but Bucks was never going to drop Blair.
Crisp, Adams and DeGoey have been seriously out of form, so if that changes we should be ok. If the bad form continues, we will struggle.

Yep. It always comes down to your level of intensity and how well you execute your skills. Footy 101. |

I reckon it is actually problematic- our players see Vince out and potentially Hogan and potentially think- well we should beat them easily- possible slight drop in intensity- see Melbourne V Dons.
Pressure mounts when a team you SHOULD be beating starts playing well-as seemingly happens with Melbourne most bloody years!! |

| We shouldn't think we can beat anyone easily after last week's shocker. We should just be desperate to get the four points. |

My mate Blair bound to have a good game soon.
He has had 3 shockers this season so far.
So a good game soon will get him another 4 or 5 selections in the next month.
I think Bux is sticking one up me!
He doesn't like my comments!
Blair forever and ever and ever....

Agree that it's always nice to see, but it should not be a general rule.
In this case Goodyear was selected with Sidebottom and Varcoe missing, he didn't break his way into a full side. With those two coming back he would always be one of the first to be considered for omission. Glad we haven't weakened the team for sentiment reasons, Blair offers far more than a second gamer even if he was down last week.
We're putting a far stronger team on the park this week than last, and the added experience is a major part of that. Need as many players as possible who know instinctively what they should be doing, Blair is definitely one of those.

So am I right in saying Cox got raised, inserted and then withdrawn?

IM actually getting pretty bullish bout this game now, i just think we have taken enough sledging and shit, and are due to hit right back hard, very hard.!! Lets send these toffy pricks up to the snow early this season, Dribblesworth-montague smith and co, Woods by 43 points, all the way. !

I don't share such low expectations - I want Collingwood to win. |

Melbourne looked tough last week - it was red hot crashing in footy when the Dees went off in the 2nd quarter and they maintained it through the 3rd
Surprised we are such short priced favorites - maybe they are sore, and we couldn't be
They have a a lot of good in-form players Gawn, Jones, Viney, Oliver, Hogan and Watts leading the list.
Garlett Vandenberg and Vince will be missed.
If we win it will be a good one.
I'll tip the draw |
Yeah, our round 2 win is meaningless |
It always was. We were crap. Richmond should never have lost that one. |
there's no meaningless win until you're no chance of making the finals. i see geelong is struggling against the supposedly hapless bombers and the team that last week dealt to us is taking it up to the hawks.
