I'm more concerned about their small forwards in this one. We don't have natural matchups down back for them. We have Doc and Simmo but both are too valuable to be shut down close checking a dangerous forward.

Fasolo, Elliott and Sidebottom when he rests forward are my worry. Rowe/ACOS will be able to handle Moore and Cox IMO and Marchbank is there if Reid (think he will play back)/White return. Apart from GC game no other big forwards got us this year and after what we did to Reid and Buddy last week im confident in this area. 

That means their only way to kick a winning score is through their smaller forwards and mid's hitting the scoreboard.

Need a massive defensive midfield effort this week. A winnable game if we can do it.

I'm concerned about their mids resting forward as well, but not their small forwards. Fasolo is kicking terribly at the moment, Elliott isn't close to his pre injury form, and looks rusty as. Is Blair injured ?

Whilst not natural match ups as such, I reckon Marchbank and Plowman can cover Fas and Elliott easily.

I'm moore worried about More ;-)

I'm keen on slightly bigger players vs Elliott and Fasalo, while the latter isnt kicking great he is a good contested mark for his inches and both Collingwood players would outmark Simpson..
 and Docherty too easily IMO....

Hoskin Elliott, whilst ostensibly a forward, plays around the ground a fair bit. I'm not sure who goes to him. I really rate him based on what I've seen this year.

Jones likely for selection this week. Was featured on a CFC video re his performance with the NBs last week.

Interesting. Wonder who he will replace as none of our guys deserve to be dropped but maybe SOJ won't pull up? This has been discussed already and it's definitely not like for like but maybe we'll still go that way?

they should rest the kid no question.

Looks like Varcoe out for the Pies.
