Pre-Match. Pies v. Cats. All comments.

[Skids]

Keep that forward line as open as possible, big holes to lead into and hit the targets. It doesn't matter if you're 200cm or 175cm, if the delivery is precise to an honoured lead, the forward is going to mark it.

Interesting, Scott sees our brigade of small forwards as "even more dangerous"

Small Magpies forwards can still swoop on Cats: Scott

Comes no surprise to me, as per the captains run.

Josh Gabelich reporting that REEF is in. So is Jamie, and IQ has been cleared to play.

Other changes will be noble in.

Dean out.

Emgs will be: Fin, Sullivan and Johnson

[Haff]

Dean has to play for mine but I guess we’ll see.

[Donny]

Team in the OP.

[Take_a_Screamer]

Ned Long has a full game at HF -- I thought he was a midfielder.
Kreuger named at CHF (to replace Checkers), McInnes on bench
Patrick Lipinski always named at FF but never plays there. It's McInnes' spot.

Billy Frampton is our CHB. Markov at HB at times.
We need to stop Gary Rohan and Jeremy Cameron - starve them of opportunities.

no excuses, let's beat the Cats

[piffdog]

Hope Long is a starter…

I’m sure we’ll be better than last week, but not sure if that will be good enough…

Hope Reef can keep building while there’s a vacancy for him.

I fear we will be flogged in the air both back and forward unless it snows.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Like Essendon the cats will go airial on us.
We wont be able to get near them in the air.
Talls out marking.
Like essendon keep the ball high in the air and we are done.
All in the air this is how teams beat us.
Just needs a couple of talls in the midfield then drive it forward.
Was hopeing the Dean plays back and Moore CHF.
Dean has to play.
Like to see Long play at the clearences.
Nervy on this one.
Each game is getting more and more vital now.

[Haff]

Jamie plays tall so that’s something I guess.
Hope we don’t recruit midgets with our amazing draft hand next season.

Bizarrely I am optimistic about this one. We have matched up well against them for a number of years. I think DeG has a massive game tomorrow. Pies by 14

[BazBoy]

My hope is that Billy is not a haste inclusion

[derkd]

^ it could well be, but at Elliotts age and history of injuries he might well not have a next year, so might as well play him.

[Jezza]

Will be a smaller than usual forward line in terms of height, so I'm not sure if that benefits us or not.

Looking at the weather forecast, it'll rain late morning but should be all clear in the evening.
