News 2013 Round 1 teams

[Lockyer24]

Collingwood

Ben Kennedy F
With Didak, Fasolo, and Krakouer sidelined there may be an opportunity after his good NAB 4 performance.

Jack Frost D
If Ben Reid doesn't come up he is a lock to play.

 

[Gringo Star]

They are in the "not certainty" basket for mine. If we are talking about all the clubs, not just the Pies. You'd have to throw Goodes (WB), Vlastuin (RICH), Wines, (PORT) Viney, Toumpas (MELB) etc.

But for Collingwood, don't forget about big Witts.

 

[Cudi]

From Our Club
Certain: Brett Goodes
Potentially: Nathan Hrvoat or Jackson Macrae. Both are only outside chances with Macrae would definitely be the sub if he did play. Hrovat a chance if Higgins doesn't come up.

 

[Mattrox]

Crouch seems to be a possibility but Sando is keeping a lid on it. and talking it down.

Witts = 1% chance (that's why Hudson got promoted)

 

[The Quandrinator]

For Cats - Blicavs almost certain, Thurlow a good chance off the bench, Kersten would have to be a very good chance after superb NAB cup

 

[taxtorious]

Kommer (ess) just got his ticket for tomorrow night, and with Michael Hurley playing means Joe Daniher won't be. Interested to see how many PTA rookies get a gig.

I believe the man said "potential".

 

[toxic]

I believe the man said "potential".

i beleive you are right - but potential implies a better than even chance (well it does in my mind) - either way Witts wont be playing anytime soon unless major injuries occur

Where is the bombers team listed?

Nathan Buckley has said you can expect 15 odd games from the 209cm giant this year, which makes me think there will be more long term value in getting Witts.

Hird announced on The Hanger yesterday that Kommer, Hurley and Zaharakis would all be named in the team.

I hope he plays well - sure he didnt mean 15 VFL games

cannot see pies taking two of Jolly, hudson & Witts into a game. Witts doesnt know where the fwd line is (let alone be of value there) Hudson can't go forward (team rules) Jolly is an amazing ruckman and Hudson will be his back up when he cannot play, other than that Q-stick is the pinch hitter.

But i do hope you are right!

Bucks also said the pies DO NOT have a drug problem??? of course they don't have a problem, there all doing it but its not a problem as such!

Is that your way of changing the topic?

 

[toxic]

Is that your way of changing the topic?

nope - just illustrating that i dont believe everything that comes from a coaches mouth...
so for you Rd 1 debutants, Neade, Viney, Terlich, Evans, Kommer, Whitfield, Toumpas.

O'Meara, Goodes, Wines, Vlaustin, Colquhoun, Rowe, Stevenson*, Currie*.

 

[KardiniaPark]

I don't think Rowe will play.

 

[SCchamp]

Kommer

 

[SSSSSS]

Crouch named as Emergency. Kommer to get debut for the Dons.

 

[Donakebab]

So with Crouch being named an emergency, will this be an on-going thing? Drop him for Kommer or another and hope Crouch spends 4-6 weeks on the emergency list? Split round is the worst for this exact situation!
