Spot on. Selection on reputation again. I wonder how many of us vividly recall Vossy saying that selection is based on earning your spot!

@kruddler I think we are a bit too tall for my liking still, but Haynes has more athleticism than Okeefe and Derkson combined.  We only lost run on Boyd, and you could argue Hayward is like for like.

Its 2 glacial talls and 1 small running player for 2 talls that have better agility and speed, and 1 small that is likely not as quick as the one out, but has a lot more class and ability about him (just hasnt put it together yet).  To me it signals that we are swinging Lewis Young forward, and id be keeping an eye out for late changes.
Point is the same. More athletic talls or not, they are not smalls and they are certainly not capable of playing a midfield role that we took Hewett out of.
Yes, we can shuffle a little bit by adding Williams into the midfield more, but we need more help in the midfield, not less.

Hayward was out and then back in, so he doesn't 'add' anything since we dropped Hewett, he just missed a game.

One of my mates told me there was is a bet between Gorringe and Daicos on the outcome of this game.

Apparantly if we beat the pies, Daicos gets his head shaved.
If Pies beat us, Gorringe gets a 'collingwood tattoo'.

Not sure how true it is, but interesting outcome either way.
Yep saw that on socials, it wasnt a pies tatoo, it was a tatoo of Nicks choosing so he has some wiggle room if they make an agreement, but yeah.
