Young Moore is going to be on Ben Brown, in before he kicks a big bag.

At least we'll win something this year. Colemannnnnnnnnnnnn

Should've done the job on Sydney last week but lacked the polish needed to finish them off. Hopefully they've fixed that for tomorrow's match.

I thought he was quite enough against Sydney thanks!!

Was talking from a whole team point of view. Brown was good but Ziebell and Daw were just as fab. I was shocked to see Daw actually kicking goals accurately. Putting him in defense has clearly given him some sort of boost 

You guys were extremely lucky last week.

Yup!
I found it just hilarious that Aliir was the pinch kicker...

He is coming out of defense pretty well, but it was a big surprise to see him go up forward...

Darcy Moore a late out.

Our next tallest defender is Scharenberg who is only 191cm. Mihocek will now need to drop back as well. Ben Brown has about 10cm on our tallest defenders playing today, GG.

Definitely a big out. Dunn is a big losd also as he can play much taller than he is. Will Howe be able to drop off and create a little less?

Dunn was our best key defender, been the rock in our defence. He has been out for two weeks now. Inexperienced Moore was expected to fill his shoes but late out.

Schazz will probably take on Brown and Howe on Majak Daw. BOTH undersized compared to their opponents.

Also I really hope Mihocek doesn't have to go back considering how well he has started aha

[Joseph41]

^Think Dunn has had an underrated career in general. Was pretty upset for him when he went down considering he never saw any success at the Dees. Cruel game.

North's wayward kicking has been costly.

hopefully we can wake up...... soon...

Mihocek is really doing some damage.

Definitely! The boys from Melbourne (Dunn and Howe) pretty much make up our defence. Everyone else is quite young and we've made a defence around Dunn and Howe. So glad we got them!

Funny to think you basically gave us Kennedy for both.

Harry and a draft pick as well?

But yeah we definitely profited from that haha xD.

[Aaron]

Gee, umpires doing their best too

Feels like there is a slight momentum shift in the last couple of mins. We got 2 quick ones. That quarter was shocking from us.... poor... very poor.

Nah. Kennedy and Howe were both part of the four-club trade that also involved Seedsman and Toumpas, plus a bunch of picks. Can't remember the exact intricacies (will look it up in a second), Collingwood basically got Howe for Kennedy, although it wasn't quite that clear-cut due to other parts of the deal.

Dunn we gave you for a three pick upgrade or something equally negligible.

Lumumba was in a different deal entirely - the three-way trade that saw Varcoe go to Collingwood and Clark to Geelong.

EDIT: Looked them up. Details below.

Deal 1: Howe

In the complex deal:
-       Adelaide received Seedsman and gave up pick No.32;
-       Collingwood received Howe and pick No.68 and gave up Seedsman and Kennedy;
-       Melbourne received Kennedy and picks No.29 and 50 and gave up Howe and Toumpas;
-       Port Adelaide received Toumpas and pick No.32 and gave up picks No.29, 50 and 68

Deal 2: Dunn

The 29-year-old has been swapped along with the Demons' pick 51 for Collingwood's pick 47.

Deal 3: Lumumba

The Clark-Varcoe-Lumumba deal, while separated from the Beams trade, was linked because Collingwood could not have traded Varcoe in without trading Beams out and would not have let Beams go unless Varcoe came in. And this required the release of Lumumba.
