Re: R7. Blues V Pies

Savour the win tonight because I think we're in for a spanking against the Maggotpies. If Yazz is out, I'll spew. There's too many little pricks that can run riot in their forward line. Elliott, Beams and Sidebottom loom as dangers if Cloke doesn't clutch them. And there's the matter of Swan and Pendlebury.
We've got to turn this game into a scrap. Don't allow a free flowing game because they will cut us up.
Hope Daisy grows another leg for this game!
Yes, I hope Daisy can come up and show the Pies something.
Unfortunately, I think we may also lose. Collingwood are not the most talented team going around, but they are playing with a fanaticism that we find hard to match. I really want to pound these *****, but we just don't seem to be able to keep up the intensity for extended periods yet.
I was really pleased with our effort against the Weagles because we had so MANY changes and lost so many important players. Then we had Robbo who was obviously not 100%. But the commitment and the attacking flair were lovely. If we can keep that up....
Unfortunately we don't appear to yet. And we have very few taggers available to negate their on ballers.
As MM said in the presser, 6 changes this week and they had to re-adjust which they did. More re-adjustments required this week I'd say although he reckons Yazz will be ok. You cant take a speedster with a suspect hammy onto the wide expanses of the MCG versus the arch enemy. If they bring the same desire and stick to a plan, we will be in it up to our ears for the most part. If we dont have taggers, let them hunt us and make it a shoot out. It takes what it takes.
