Team - QF vs Collingwood

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

I think we should leave Will in, we have already downsized with Jones and Everitt. My only change would be Hooper for Johnno.

Mitch Hahn would be thinking that the forecast conditions have been sent down from above....literally.

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

My feeling is that if any or either of Wood, Johnson or Griffen fail to get thru training today Everitt will come into the squad of 25. Then Saturday if conditions are as bad as expected I would think that Everitt then comes into the final 22 to give us a bit more flexability and to help in the ruck if Minno is the one to miss out.

He would have played anyway.

One out: Very strong mail that there will be one late change at Dogs. Just a matter of who

Johnno? Griff?

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

I reckon Johno, i don't think he is anywhere near ready to go.

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

Ok, its time to call in the short term memory loss police.

Question: What did we learn about the loss against the swans?
Answer: We cannot go in with 1 ruckman. and that Williams (who gave away 4 free kick ruck infringements) is NOT a ruck option.

So please get over it.

As for the late out, I reckon ist Johnno, and the weather wont help him much either, so id suggest in comes Moles.

Is this based on anything other than a gut feel?

One and only: Bank on Dogs making one late change. Mail getting hotter. Will Pies bring in a small for tall?

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

Minno? Surely not, with Everitt not named.

Perhaps we are going to cop the fine? Wood, Griffen, Williams and Johnson are all under injury clouds could be anyone of those?
Perhaps they think Williams is a better ruck option than Everitt?

He might be in pure rucking terms, but we're already down a key defender (Morris) and we need Williams to mind Cloke - all night.

It didn't work against Sydney, so I can't see it working against Collingwood.

If there is a late out, I hope it's Johnno. I think he'll really struggle with the conditions tonight.

Re: Team - QF vs Collingwood

I love Johnno, but I don't want him to play. He has not been able to put in a full game for this entire year, and the conditions will make it even harder for him.

Hooper in for Johnno would make me happy. I haven't seen Hoops play, but if he can live up to reports of defensive pressure, good hands and good goal sense, then he's going to offer more than Johnno could.

As I said in an earlier post, I would love it if Johnno played and proved me wrong, but I think that the odds are low. This is all a gut feel, but I can't see how he's going to miraculously recover from something which has affected him all season.

Totally agree with you. Completly throws out our defence.

Also hope it's Johnson, if it is him who do you want to come in?

I think moles will come in.

Moles or Hooper. Probably Hooper, though it's very unlikely.
