McIntosh was poor.

I get people hate this being said but played his role. His two running contest to contest is elite

He won't get dropped

I know I’ve been saying for a few seasons that wing is one of the few positions where skill wise we should look to upgrade. But until someone proves they can provide the 2way running that kmac does, he just has to stay in the side. Week enough defensively already without losing his gut running to get back and help out.

He also has a canny ability to win contests, either 50/50 or often outnumbered. Tall endurance runner who gets to contests and then often as not wins them. Both our wings are super competitive beasts.

Both Picket and Maca are hard workers and are under rated

The work rate of Pickett in the fourth quarter was outstanding. Mansell's goal, Ryan's goal and Lynch's goal all came about because of good work by Pickett.

Went at 38% DE.
Can’t be a wing version of Georgie.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Not sure who is out so just assuming Hopper Lynch & Dusty are playing.

Outs Broad (susp)
In Jack Ross

Played well on Sunday and did play across half back at times.  If not him, Banks is the natural replacement.  He played OK also.

Mansell was good as the sub but may be needed to shut down N Daicos.  If that is the case, sub to be (no idea). 

Biggy was terrific and could be a chance if we want more height

i didn't see many collingwood games last year. how good is nick daicos? like sidebottom 2018 you don't want to get free use of the ball good? would a mid/forward who is too skilled to get off the leash go well head to head against him (eg. bolton) or do we need an actual clamp down tagger on him?

Hopper, Dusty doubtful.  Short & Broad out.  Lynch right.

I expect Martin and Hopper to play. Hugo and Ross in but wouldn't be surprised to see Sonz in.

Dustin Martin has not torn his hamstring and is a chance to play for Richmond on Friday night, but Jayden Short is definitely out and Jacob Hopper looks highly likely to miss the blockbuster clash with Collingwood at the MCG.
