    Ins & Outs for rd 15 - Collingwood

    How do you take a change after a performance like that? In saying that I think they will be super keen to get Williams back into the team to help with our match-ups against Collingwood, therefore:

    In: Williams

    Out: Reid

    Hopefully Williams gets through the VFL game today with Reid being the unlucky one to make way. Reid showed he is capable of playing a role so can be called on again with confidence when required.

    I think Callan or Addison could be a chance.

    Pies have a lot of dangerous small forwards in Didak, Medhurst, Davis, Thomas, Dick to worry about.

    There are plenty of match up opportunities there.

      I hear that Reid has groin issues, as I don't think its fair to drop him.

        Williams is a must with the match-ups against Collingwood. Cloke and Anthony will demand a tall defender each and we need to free up Morris to play on one of their dangerous small forwards.

        Reid apparently has a minor groin problem from last night so I would go with Reid out and Williams in as well.

          I'd be inclined to bring in Callan rather than Williams.

          Lake - Cloke
          Morris - Anthony
          Hargrave, Harbrow & Callan to take their small forwards.

          Having said that, Morris has owned Didak the last few times we've played them.

            Davis and especially Didak are covering a lot more ground now, which makes them far more difficult prospects to tag. I will be doing the Collingwood review this week and the focus will be how they rotate their players around. Makes them very hard to match up indeed.

              He has but Didak is now a very different player. His highest three disposal games in his career have come in the last three rounds. The best way to break a tag is to run it out and Didak is doing that wonderfully at the moment. Not sure I want Morris spending so much of his time out of the backline.

                I would be more inclined to see:

                Williams v Cloke
                Lake v Anthony - Could play a role similar to the PF here (attacking)

                Leave Morris, Hargrave, Harbrow, etc.. to pick up the smalls.

                Much to discuss in the preview thread during the week.

                  I think our defensive matchups would be fine against Collingwood going in unchanged with Lake to Cloke, Morris to Anthony, Hargrave to Medhurst however if we want Tom Williams in the side in September he needs to come in and build some form

                  Out: Reid
                  In : Williams
                  If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                    I tend to agree with these match ups. Didak seems to be more in the midfield now as is Swan. Morris on Anthony and Lake on Cloke are ideal matchups, although Cloke works up the ground a fair bit, which won't suit Lake.

                      Rest Reid, someone has to come out, and bringing in a player with "groin sorenes" could lead to much worse problems down the track. I'd bring in Williams, and have him and Lake take the two big men. Send Harbrow to Dick, Shaggy to Medhurst and have Morris play on whichever one of Davis and Didak is in the forward line, provided both aren't in the middle. Picken to tag the other one.

                        Agree with everything you said here. Even rest Reid from Williamstown if he isnt 100% right.

                        I dont really rate Cloke and think Anthony is inconsistent, Lake and Williams should own them

                        Didak will be the one to watch, especially in his new midfield role, Picken better bring his footy smarts and skates to the game...we dont plan for him or pay him respect, he will tear us a new one

                          If williams is 100%, Reid is unfortunate, but that's the sign of a team with great depth.

                          Hargy is averaging 20 touches and serting up plays the last month, i'd like to give him that same freedom and not have him tied up too much.

                          If Reid and Tommy do not come up, Callan for me.

                            Reid was OK last night...showed some good stuff.. but if Williams is good to go, I'd put him in. If not, put Tim Callan in for Reid. Looking forward to seeing Reid develop though...

                              I think we proved last night we can beat good talls with Lake, Morris, Murphy down back and Cloke and Anthony are nowhere near the quality of Franklin and Roughead.

                              Maybe Reid out depending on how he has recovered from game or injury wise, then i would like maybe Addison in.
