What are people's thoughts on whether or not N.Daicos could be tagged by the Lions or will he have a strong bounce back score after last week's debacle.? Tossing up whether to VC him or not.
In my opinion Russty , Daics will go well tonight he was pretty dirty about his and everyone else's game last week , look for a huge improvement this game , this i think is cross roads for the pies , Brisbane in Brisbane a tough ask anytime but tonight must be a win at all costs , all hands on deck is required , i'll stop there and good luck with your VC choice and the round.

Lions would be crazy not to tag him IMO, thought the same up to present. Would someone like J.Berry be capable of blanketing him? Could have stopped them winning the flag in the process if he was tagged more regularly IMO.

Cheers FT, interesting on AFL 360 how David King dissected the game and what wasn't working for the Pies, mainly, the ball wasn't getting into De Goey's hands enough, how he was the Drummer of the band but the team wasn't keeping the rhythm.

Will be a good test for him as I expect the Lions will put time in to him so they can improve their chances of posting their first win.

Beard VC for me.
Who do the Lions have that does a run with role?

But it's the drummer's job to keep the rhythm for the band.

Oh wait never mind, you're paraphrasing David King. As you were.

If you don't win the contested ball you can't dictate the state of play , and we haven't done that and hence limited ball for him , hopefully tonight that desire at the ball and the contest will re appear .
The band must play in harmony with everyone , hence a big team effort required tonight

He was keeping the rhythm, the band wasn't keeping up, he was in the right positions, they were giving it to someone else or kicking it over his head.

David King’s musical knowledge is limited to a few years in the 1950s. Somewhat like his knowledge of more pertinent matters to this discussion.

Think Daicos is a watch this week. Not because he isn't a very good player but because Collingwood have struggled for the first time since he arrived. I'm looking forward to seeing how he and his team mates go about it tonight. This is his first real challenge for his career!
Gawn into Heeney for me!

No Daicos gives me a couple of nights to think about it!

Will be one of Serong/Jackson into Bont/Heeney.

Anyway, I went Ryan last week, but the form of Jackson is hard to go past.

Daicos is a hard pass given the situation - he’ll want to atone. But… I think I’m Ryan again or Jackson will be VC into…

Either Jackson into Bont or Bont into Heeney . Was weighing up Daicos but decided to hold off, happy for him to punish me for not doing so given some traded.
