Pre-Match. Round 11. Pies v. Blues.

[piffdog]

Do we go in with just Cameron as the ruck, and make do with a backup when he has a spell? Pittonet wont be playing for the blues will he?

We get them without Mackay - do we need to rush Roughead back in? (not sure if he will be ready to go or not).

We'll know soon enough, but I think there wold be some precedent there for Adams to miss (whether you agree or not). Who comes in for him? Callum Brown?

Should be the best Collingwood V Carlton match in what 25 years???

Really hope we win it. The only worry is coming back from W.A and the wet might have taken alot out of the team.


So would not surprise me if we come out a bit flat. Particularly the young players. So might be worth a few changes if we have some sore bodies.

[Presti35]

That's what I'm worried about.

[Lazza]

Having 9 days of recovery might help a lot. I hope it does. Quietly confident and cautiously optimistic about this game although the odds favour the scum. I have a fair bit of faith in this superbly coached team and all going well we should be closer to picking our best team this season. Go ‘Pies!!

[inxs88]

How do you calculate 9 days of recovery when we played Sunday (Freo) and Carlton next Sunday......

[Piesnchess]

The Bluebellies will be warm favourites and rightly so, the bastards are in the top four, and thats how i like it, the pressure is all on them, really. Like, they have done their re build, took em twenty yrs, but its done, and they are cheery ripe for finals, where as our re build has only just really started this season. Id love to beat these utter bastards, i utterly loathe them, most vile team in the League, bar none. Just hope we have a red hot go, as we did last week, in a close game, we may get lucky, you never know.

If their fathers can't get either Darcy or the Daicos boys fired up enough to roll out a BOG performance against the arch enemy, I don't know who can.

Fingers crossed Adams will not get a week. With his physicality on Sunday it was one of the main reasons we tipped the balance in the midfield with Freo. Carlton are a similar animal with clear midfield chemistry and plenty of speed with skill. We need to make things difficult for Cripps and semi tag Walsh. They do drop off in the second half so we need to stay with them early and not get blown out of the water Hopefully we get the wet weather footy residuals out of our players system. We need another repeat of the skills shown last Sunday. Can't wait I dislike the Scum and Voss so much hope the fly has a great plan up his sleeve and Howe takes the mark of the century over Curno!

[Pebbles Rocks]

Without Pittonet and McKay, the blues are not that tall.
Not convinced about Roughead coming in especially as Howe is tall enough to cover Curnow if required.
McCreery had the flu before the bulldogs game and was good last week so he has to play. Also tough as nails.
Whilst not tall, Henry and Ellliot are good marking forwards. I like a smaller forward line too as it means we keep the blues backline under pressure.
