I think Weitering has a very slim chance of getting up. He was downstairs for a considerable period of time and that in itself is a tell about how sore he is likely to be. Even if he does play he may well be well off his best.

Hard to see anyone being dropped but Silvagni and Fisher might both miss.
Jones could replace Silvagni, he's strong and in good form so he deserves a shot.
Thomas was BOG in the magoos so he's the logical replacement for Fisher who I really rate,  Boekhorst is another option.as well as Kerridge, his disposal is questionable to say the least but his body strength might come in handy against Collingwood.
Shame to see that Dylan Buckley isn't putting his hand up for a game, he was in Docherty's draft so he's had plenty of time, this year will make or break him you'd think.
I'm expecting a close game.

time to give Cuningham another sniff of the big time.....

Cripps is rarely tagged for 2 reasons.

One is very hard to tag a contested beast as they work inside and tagging doesn't have much of an effect except they lose a player around the contest if they do it.

And two is Cripps main negative is as we all know his lack of pace away from the contest so most mids know he will get them inside but they try and hurt us the other way.

Tagging means they lose in both of those situations hence why they wont do it with him IMO.

Murphy on the other hand can be tagged and I think Greenwood will go to him IMO.

They will also pay respect to Doc and Simmo as these ones set up as much of our forward moves as our true mids.

Curnow needs to go to Pendlebury as I reckon Treloar will burn him for pace.  

A couple of mentions for Boekhorst being an option if Fisher doesn't come up. Was at the Northern Blues game on Sun and he looked really spent every time he came off. I was standing right behind the interchange bench and it was interesting to see the rotations. Boekhorst even vomited once if I'm not mistaken. Hard to say if he was running that hard or he was struggling in other ways. Suspect he was being GPS tracked so I'm sure the coaching staff would know the story but by far he looked the worst of all the players as they rotated.

Rather Thomas than Boekhorst....Pies have a strong midfield group and we cant afford passengers, Boekhorst is too much of a risk vs
quality opposition IMO...saying that maybe vs Daniel Wells who is a similar outside type he may be of value with his pace but if he is as fit as you say he is and finding the running tough I wouldnt contemplate that matchup.

Agree....although i'm not sure i'd class Collingwood as quality opposition.

I think Daisy can lift another gear, especially against the pies. Defensively he offers more than Boeky.

But if Boeky can perform in the 2's at the same level, i'd bring him in the following week.

My changes...
Out SOS (inj) Fisher (inj) Weitering (inj)
In Kerr, Daisy, Jones

Wells would take Boekhorst to the cleaners EB, he's several classes above him even at this late stage and quicker to boot.
No mentions of Smedts, didn't have much of an impact against Sydney and could be another change.

My changes...
Out SOS (inj) Fisher (inj) Weitering (inj)

If Kerr gets a game it's all over for Jaksch.
