Morris out for the season!

Re: Morris out for the season!

This is such BS

I do like comrade's thoughts on the situation though - we could even still pinch a win and play 3 finals which will be invaluable to Grant & Jones' development (and maybe Wood/Everitt)

We've still got a spine (Lake/Williams) a big forward (Hall) an elite clearance player (Boyd) with who I consider an elite ruckman (Hudson) so there's still elements to see us compete...but losing two All Australians for the finals is just such BS

Has Addison played finals for us before?

No Addison hasn't played a final before.

Oh - and we've lost 3 All Australians! Johno, Cooney and Morris.

Plus we have one playing under some serious duress - Lake.

The run of bad luck the Dogs are enduring is staggering. Barry Hall has a corked thigh that is bleeding and is also no certainty this week.

I wouldn't mind resting Barry anyway.

This week isn't pivotal, although one could argue we need to find some confidence and form before the QF.

Morris has been our rock all season. If it was going to be tough without Coons for the rest of the season it's going to be even tougher without Morris.

It's someones chance to step up now.

Re: Morris out for the season!

I'm obviously no AFL tactition, but is there anyway that these massive personnel losses we've suffered this week can perhaps force Eade and Co to think outside the box, and perhaps surprise Collingwood with some different tactics that may unsettle their game plan?
If we had lost him earlier in the year and had to adopt different tactics, over a period of time other clubs could cotton onto what we were doing.
Am i being a naive optimist by thinking we can turn dissaray into a brief competitive advantage, by trying some innovative moves???.....although I am at a loss to think what such innovations could be.

I recall that Adelaide lost their most important key forward in Modra late in 97, and perhaps this forced them to think outside the box, and ultimately surprise teams who were unsure as to how they were going to play minus Modra.

We could always bring in Darren Jarman but the risk would be that he would eat Jarrod Grant.

not enough meat on Grant, maybe we could tip BBQ sauce on Dane Swan and he could eat him instead?
