Heeney needs to get moving has class but has to get involved more
in Floreants defense he of all our younger players (heeney aside) would be getting most attention
id play Marsh ahead of Robinson
Mcveigh needs another year
Jack can retire

I don't think losing is ever good for a team. Making the 8 even if we get knocked out in the first final, would still be good experience for the many players who haven't experienced finals football before. I suspect the coaches accept that this year is a development year, not one for silverware.
The only caveat is that there are several players who could be back in time for finals: Hanners, Rohan, Reid, possibly Melican, which might make a difference. Reid in particular.
Rohan might be more effective than a tired Ronke / Hayward, Reid you'd hope would offer more than McCartin. Hanners maybe adds something even if its in a tagging role (like when he played on Gaff). That and bringing Cameron and Towers into the side might let them give one or two of the younger players a break. Longmire clearly feels Cameron can't play the role that McCartin does, which is a shame. And after Brodie Grundy, next week is Max Gawn!
This is the Richmond game plan, but played at a lower level of quality. It's hard to keep the work rate up all game and have everyone on board when it's time to attack. Collingwood have been doing a reasonable job at it most of the year, but were probably just a bit short on personnel to pull it off the past couple of weeks. It's not the most attractive footy at this level, but the Richmond-Geelong game showed it's exciting to watch when played well.
The way to beat Richmond is with KPP marling the ball thru the middle if you play them wide they cut everything off
They arent tall you need to take them on down the middle
Port and West Coast are equipped to beat them
Geelong nearly did without geniune marks up the ground

Any whispers about Mills ?
i thought at the time maybe Horse didnt want to sound cocky to say he would be back for finals....
Don’t hit mute, just turn the volume down to 1, then you’ll still see the time. Fortunately I went to the game, and didn’t have to do the same, but that is now my favored silencing technique.

I concur, all this talk of tiredness and needing time to recover until March 2019 is all a bit how’s your father.
Unless theres a significant injury needing time to heal , the pointy end of the season is the most exciting time of the year for these youngsters .
And Buddy wants more than just hangin around , he wants another Granny. You can read him like a book.
The time is now always has been always will be in footy.... ask AJ
