What better than coming off consecutive losses to top four teams?
Knowing that awaiting next is the bitter enemy which happens to be sitting pretty in top of the ladder and condemned us to missing the finals through a heartbreaking loss in round 23 last year.
Looking at the positives, there was a 20-minute patch against the Bulldogs where we moved the ball efficiently and effectively. We have no major injury concerns and our defence is generally standing up well.
The negatives are that our midfield is struggling for scoreboard impact, our skill level is well below standard and we are getting well beaten on the outside of contests.
Worse luck … these are all areas the Pies are great at exposing.
They run the ball with ease and precision through the middle of the ground, have a watertight defence and have class and skill through the midfield.
Keys to winning;
Don’t let Darcy Moore

mark the ball. He’s the best reader of the ball in the competition. Maybe Jsos to play a defensive forward job?
Forward pressure is essential. Daicos and Noble running the ball from defence without pressure is a recipe for disaster.
We should be able to get the ascendancy in the contested game - Pittonet to give Cripps, Kennedy, Walshy first use by owning big Mason. De Goey is a real key and changemaker - not sure we have the match up through the middle.
Make our hard work worth it. Improve our delivery forward of centre and convert our chances. Unfortunately easier said than done as recent weeks has shown.
Play with dare. Play like we are the underdog. Play like we must against the arch enemy.
In terms of changes, Hollands was due for a rest … but there’s no obvious replacement.
A great opportunity to turn our season around with a backs to the wall win.

[I bleed Blue]

Pies are going to absolutely pump us next week.

The speed they move the ball is going to tear our zone to shreds.

Could get ugly

 

[The Bighouse]

Not the game to have chosen to attend.
Need to dish up a lot better execution to have any chance of competing.
Likely to get sliced up.

 

[Rustica]

This could get real ugly.

All the ammunition in Collingwoods hand on how slow or fast they want to kill us.

They can send us into obscurity

 

[Revenant1965]

I can't see too many personnel changes on-field... Hollands subbed out due to injury, hope he's OK... but real changes need to be in tactics and mental application by many... At this stage still hoping for a win (and anything is possible). But...

 

[The Sultan]

Will be in the country Saturday night for a birthday, was planning to leave early Sunday morning to get back for game, im reconsidering.

 

[euphegenia]

Hope the G makes a positive difference.

 

[Arr0w]

Hard to pick us while being so inconsistent

Not sure what to do with Mots and Durdin, given they aren't a scoreboard threat at the moment, don't apply enough pressure or just not involved enough

Jsos as a 2nd ruck is doing my head in, and still can't be trusted to convert in front of goal

Harry has lost all confidence kicking for goal

Our forward half is killing us

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Pies seem to find a way no matter who goes down injured. What're they onto their 4th ruck option now? :/ Am jealous of the seemingly adaptable plug and play system they have.

Edit: Cox is back I forgot but it was like that previously

 

[BrianSetzer]

As Mr T once said

PAIN

 

[james Dean]

Hard to pick us while being so inconsistent

Harry has lost all confidence kicking for goal

How are we inconsistent?

We are consistently poor.

Collingwood will thrash us.

 

[Revenant1965]

Really hope I'm wrong, and I still believe, but...

 

[Jatz]

Desperately not looking forward to this one. Just can’t see how we get close here.

 

[lukep_86]

I'm fairly positive when it comes to the Blues and have sat through many losses over the years, but I'll be watching this one from the couch. If I'm going give up family time, I'm not going to waste it heading to the game.

 

[carlton_99]

The speed they move the ball is going to tear our zone to shreds.

We have a zone?

 

[BM123]

Cripps and Weitering should be dropped with how shocking their form and leadership has been.

Club won't make that call though so I don't know what we can do here.

Pies aren't going to play around with us like the Dogs did.

We live in hope though.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Sorry - busy this week.

 

[BM123]

We have a zone?

Kinda but it breaks down every game for a variety of reasons.

 

[branedotorg]

I reckon we'll lift, maybe even be in front towards the end of the game before being crushed in burst.

There's no expectations we will win so we might turn up

 

[Arr0w]

Think it's time to throw some things around

In TDK, Martin, Boyd
Out Jsos, Mots, Durdin

Shift Doc forward, swapping with Gov occasionally

Need better impact types forward. Done with Jsos in the ruck and his level of pressure also doesn't warrant a spot

Realistically, possibly Martin for either of Mots or Durdin

 

[I bleed Blue]

We have a zone?

Apparently. But one little overlap handball and it’s all at sea

 

[TENACIOUS]

We will win

 

[Arr0w]

We will win

With a supposedly bottom 8 list?

 

[Blue1980]

At best we will squander a last quarter lead.

At worst we will get thrashed.

 

[Beyond Blue]

It’s hard to be positive about this one and I usually think we’re always a chance against the old enemy.

The Pies have made an art form of scoring from opposition errors and we make too many of them.

In terms of selections I don’t see any point playing Ed Curnow - not even as the sub - he simply has to go.

There may also a temptation to rush Martin back to replace Motlop who has been dreadful the past fortinight.

I also thought Cincotta was caught ball watching too much tonight so I could see him making way for Boyd.

If I were Dow or Fish I would have asked to play in todays earlier game to press for selection so nobody deserves a spot IMO.

As for the rest I think the only choice is to back in the so called stars namely Cripps, Weitering and McKay to turn it around.
