Re: Match Committee - Round 21 2016 vs Collingwood
I'm Going to look at this at a playing Collingwood point of view.
No Moore,no fasolo. Cloke, White and Cox ? Our backline will destroy that lot . I would keep the same team, White runs around in a circle, once in a while the ball actually falls in the circle when he is at that point. Cox will just lead out of the square and Cloke will play upfield.
I tend to wonder that whoever is kicking their goals in the seconds will come in ,they have won 9 (?) In a row, must be someone kicking goals.
They will rely on Sidebottom a lot not sure he will get much of it the way Wood comes across and takes marks and Boyd reads the play before it gets down there. Also Morris should have his number by a country mile.
I can see Boyd and STringer kicking a few this week. Their backline is a mess. especially on the turn over.
Pendlebury is out also isn't he ?Bring back the biffComment

Re: Match Committee - Round 21 2016 vs Collingwood
I don't think it's about that.
Stringer just doesn't look right. He doesn't lift his right arm unless he has to.
I'd be happy to rest him, hopefully get his shoulder right for finals.
FWIW I thought he was ok Saturday night. Not much impact but tried to stay involved, he's just clearly hampered."It's over. It's all over."Comment

I think Suckling will come back in, if Smith is right to go then It's really hard to pick who comes out..
I would be willing to drop a tall for Suckling and go smaller against Cox, White, Cloke (maybe Moore) and run rings around them once the ball hits the deck, however Hamling or Roberts don't deserve to be dropped after Saturday night.
Cordy is the possible choice, but he's been playing that role up forward which we probably need. Someone with some size to help out Boyd and when Boyd is rucking having at least a target to kick too.
Dunkley, Webb or Hrovat would be incredibly stiff.
You know your list is in pretty good shape when you have 8 or 9 best 22 players currently out of the side and your not sure who to drop when 1 of them is coming back in...Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 21 2016 vs Collingwood
That's assuming that a week or two off will make a difference to how it will feel in finals.
I don't know a lot about AC injuries - perhaps the likes of Slimpickens can provide some expert insight into these types of injuries - but following Stringer getting the injury, a couple of ex-players in the media made comments along the lines of that 'he will just have to put up with being sore until the end of the season with that type of injury'. They wouldn't be playing him if he was going to do more damage (I wouldn't think).
He had 4 shots on goal on Saturday night in a game where forwards were all inneffective. We are a better chance of winning with him out there. And we need to keep winning.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 21 2016 vs Collingwood
Given our extremely conservative approach to injuries this season I'd doubt he's playing under duress. He may not be 100% but few are. He's still subject to considerable form fluctuations from game to game and if he had of busted through that last North player and goaled no-one would be questioning him. His best is off the charts but his worst is ok too because he still has the ability to get off the chain and kick vital goals in vital minutes. He needs to close the gap though no doubt.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 21 2016 vs Collingwood
Collingwood's forwards laid 1 tackle for the first three quarters last weekend. Deplorable.
They'll ramp up their effort against us but we should be able to rebound hard enough to cut them up.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Cordy looks taller than Bonts as well if you look at the 3.25 mark on the video when they celebrated The Bonts goal.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.Comment

A handy height to be for a KPD. Might be our tallest defender if we play Adams and Hurley next year.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment
