Will be a very tough game to win in our current form. Can we turn it all around today and play with the qualities that we have when we play our best football? Can the coaches come up with the right strategic moves to counter their moves? Can we apply consistent manic pressure and tackling? Can we improve our field and goal kicking? If the answers are yes, then we may have a chance.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

We definitely need to manage and control Hawthorns' uncontested possession count. If their uncontested mark count gets out of hand we will find it very hard.

That said I don't rate them that highly so if we get out in front, my expectation is we will do what we have to do to stay that way until the final siren blows - tight defence around the ground and keeping the scoreboard ticking over. This is a day to win ugly.

Need to replace the 4 goals Schultz and Checkers kicked last time. Where are they going to come from? McStay with 4 first game back is a big ask and beyond him methinks.
