MC realised their mistake for included Hollands over Acres. Swapped it back now.

Hewett STILL in the team.

Riley for Reidy

Patience with Ison has run out, with Lord coming in (probably to cover for Hewett TBH).

Emergencies.....
Boyd
Flynn Riley
Flynn Young

I would have stuck with Riley vs Cameron, the latter dines out on us usually and I think Riley's height at least might have made it more difficult. Wouldnt be surprised if we see a bit more of Harry in the ruck who has improved his ruck craft and is competitive most times I have seen him play the position of late.

Perhaps the thinking that Reidy offers more than Riley at this stage, around ground and up forward.

If Im not mistaken, Reidy played a blinder in the 2s so he is being rewarded I guess.

Our line-up:

B:   H. Dean, N. Haynes, W. Derksen
HB:   B. Wilson, O. Florent, L. Cowan
C:   A. Cerra, P. Cripps – C, B. Acres
HF:   W. Hayward, F. Evans, T. Byrne
F:   B. Kemp, H. McKay, M. McGovern
R:   L. Reidy, S. Walsh, J. Smith
Int:   N. Newman, G. Hewett, M. Cottrell, B. Ainsworth, C. Lord
Em:   J. Boyd, F. Riley, F. Young

[1] I might have been tempted to play 2 rucks with Collingwood's defence. I know that Collingwood only really has Cameron, who hasn't been in great form, but he usually plays well against us. I like having options when there is a good reason. Last week, for example, was a point source error, something we simply didn't have the structure to change.
Reidy did play well last week.

[2] Lord is probably insurance for Hewett, who must remain doubtful. Who would come in would be an interesting conundrum. Young was in good goalkicking form. Boyd probably deserves a shot to show if he is worth keeping. I find it unlikely that he would succeed, but you never know.

[3] The only problem with Ison going out this week is that the 2's have a bye. He has no chance to impress. So, he will probably miss next week as well.

[4] The weather: it is not supposed to be that wet, maybe showers early in the day. The less of them, the more I prefer it.

[5] I still don't know who we would play on Nick Daicos. We really need someone to sit on him: no Daicos, no Collingwood. We only lost last time because Steene got on top and Daicos went berserk. But who? That is one of our real structural issue which our next coach MUST address.

[6] Who is going to kick our goals? Our forwards were ordinary last week. Not one of them is kicking all that well. But Collingwood's defence looks vulnerable, if we're good enough to do something about it.
Live Long and Prosper!

O.Hollands was so good the week he got injured but he has fair dinkum stunk ever since.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I won't be at all surprised if we try Lord to tag Daicos.

Agree, ..NDs taggers though usually have had enough by 3/4 time as they get plenty of treatment at stoppages and off the ball.
Need more than one rotation so you have fresh legs to run with him late in the game..I'd tag DeGoey too..

Having watched the match, I would say you are mistaken.

You're a hard marker RR  :)

I thought that Reidy was very good and his stats - 15 disposals, 22 hitouts, seven clearances, and two goals - tend to support that.

Truslove thought he was good too:

"Reidy had an outstanding first game back after a long injury break. He gave us first use particularly at centre bounce and his follow-up around stoppages was aggressive. He played big and he led the way with his voice and leadership."

Being aggressive, playing "big" and leadership is still some way off for Riley.
