Petrie Vs collingwood

[elephants]

i know we dont want to but lets face it, the pies will smash everyone this year.
is the thought of not starting petrie a little bit rash?
is he too pricey to be sitting as your fwd emergency?
i know that we cant just not play players when their team plays collingwood but petrie has ahd a long lay-off and he is returingni from suspension.

thoughts? cheers

pick him. he didnt average in the high eighties when healthly a few years ago for no reason. He might get some ruck time and will help his score. Hes oviously not going to score a massive hundred or anything but should be more than solid. Id trust him over any rookie price foward other than krak

sweet thanks mate.

you got him for a reason LE, who are you considering on starting instead of him???!?  ???

hahaha greedy elephant :)

i was thinking of either richardson or matera (knights has the bye)

richardson showed glimpses against west coast and matera has been good in the nab through the midfield. i am thinking i will start petrie :)

start Petrie mate - Richardson might suffer from the tough conditions from yesterday (heat).
Matera should be a good pick but again,  you bought the fallen premium for a reason ...  why are you second guessing yourself now??!  ???

you have to wonder who will match up on Petrie from collingwood? I guess tarrant and jolly?

I think Petrie will have a blinder, will be hungry after missing rd 1 and will be looking to make an impact.

[elephants]

hahaha J because i am incredibly bored :)

tarrant is an under rated defender in my opinion (i'm a west coast man)

im deff starting petrie, he will get some ruck work vs collingwood which will be good for him.. collingwood are a very good side this year and most likely to end up on top of the table, but wont go unbeaten all season, i think a couple of teams will suprise them...

i dont think kangas will get smashed though... (i hope!) lol. 

either way, petrie is more likely to get you 80 than any rookie out there.. even ahead of krak.

Bombers are top, we'll smash everybody.

mate you cant not start petrie you were willing to ride out rd 1 and 3 dont add rd 2 yourself

[Generalsor]

No doubt he starts for me. Had to move Goodes into the midfield to cover J Selwood (pretty sure he won't play).

[me]

im definitely starting with him as well, swapped him in at the last minute for knights last week and got j tippet for the ruck link for cox/sandi byes/misses

Well i gotta choice outta Prestia, Matera, Petrie Richardson and Darling and have to start 2, think itll be Petrie and Matera/Prestia
