Qualifying Final. Magpies v. Demons. All comments.

I'd start Cox in the ruck, with Cameron resting up forward.

Lipinski to miss, with Sidey as sub.

[Horatio Fin]

Team gets announced this evening, I assume?

Noble dropped

Collingwood drop selection bombshell for blockbuster final with Melbourne

In fact, Noble has had a run of 83 consecutive games, the seventh best ‘active streak’ in the AFL.

Jeepers. Whodathunkit?

[Mr Miyagi]

Da fug? Gotta be more to it. Is he named as emergency? Maybe sub?

[Take_a_Screamer]

With Noble out, does this indicate Nick Daicos might be in? just wondering...

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Why did Noble get dropped and who comes in for Noble

[Mr Miyagi]

I’m thinking it’s the sub announcement system that Fly was criticising, how a player has to be omitted (dropped) before being named as sub

But hey, a few Nicksters think he’s a dud so they’ll be happy in the game day thread.

McCreery comes in.....who else?

Casual suggestions:

1. Start Cox in the Ruck each quarter with Cameron on bench
2. Never have Cox and Cameron on the ground at same time
3. Start Steele as the sub (controversial)
4. Default to ground hack kicks going inside 50 vs 9 iron sky kicks to May & Lever
5. Attack attack attack knowing Dees forwards should struggle to exceed 70 points.
6. Howe on May with a tag
7. Work over Gawn like the Port players have done at every opportunity
8. Drop Lipinski as the unlucky 3rd omission behind Frampton & Macrae
9. DeGoey: it's your time to deliver
10. McStay: it's time to deliver

11. Work over old mates foot as often as possible, Tony Shaw style shenanigans, stomping and what not...Bailey whatever his name is

Question, if it is wet weather game....are we going too tall having Cox and Cameron?

Forecast is now for a dry track.....top of 21 Thursday!

Dunno what weather forecast you got that from...our only hope for dry is that the rains holds off until 10pm, which seems unlikely.

If we are lucky, we get off to a flyer and have a huge halftime downpour while 6 goals up

Hodge recommends Melbourne takes the minsdset that

Collingwood is scared of Melbourne and are fragile prey, WTF

There is a narrative for every possible outcome, can't blame the media for covering all their bases.

You can imagine the narrative when we win....

[Ronnie McKeowns boots]

Geez, didn't see that coming.

Although some posters have previously questioned whether his limited skillset gets exposed at finals, great effort notwithstanding...

[ANNODAM]

Had a dream last night, Ginni kicked the first goal from the pocket, more or less where Jamie kicked the goal after the siren against ESS last year, but Ginni was much closer.

Starting to get a tad nervous now.

Gosh, this is a MUST win!
