Calf

Could be charlie dean time. Been dominant in the vfl, deserves another crack i think

Definitely wouldn’t hurt to have as many options as possible back there come September. Get a couple more games into Dean

Cops a lot of hate but his VFL numbers have been huge (few 20+ dozzys and 10+mark games) and heaps of intercepts. Cant ignore him forever!

Very disappointing news about Billy. Hopefully he gets back within five weeks.

Not the best time to have big bill out

Rather now than 5 weeks in late August / September. Very winnable games without him coming up.

Just feel like we are getting a few injuries now

Agree, but thankfully we have West Coast, Carlton and Richmond still to come. We're also getting players back in Maynard and Schultz isn't far off.

Realistically, we should be 3 games + percentage clear of second after this weekend. We're in a good spot despite these set backs.

percentage doesn't count against Brisbane

I'd say this is the best time for him to be out with our next few opponents. Rather it now than leading into the finals.

Obviously I'd prefer no injury at all..

True but their run home is a lot tougher than Geelong

True, Geelong might be more of a danger because of their soft run home. that loss to Brisbane might be crucial.

Geel last performance made me think that maybe they aren’t the threat most believe. At home, almost full strength Dangers 350th - and they got absolutely smashed without even a yelp.

Let’s see where they go from here.

Billy is the only Collingwood defender who can play full-back at both ends of the ground.

Big loss, but will be back to propel the team to flag #17.

It's a bearable time. Could be worse. Still, Frampton has become a pillar for us. Fingers crossed we've seen the bulk of our injuries now.

JUST PLAY HIM!!

PLEASE!!!

PLEASE!!!

I'm that confident he'll play that I will give you one of my medical centres for free if he doesn't

Has been BOG tonight.

 

[BillyElliott]

Big Bill was great tonight.

 

[Sea fog]

Our best defender atm

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Back to his best the last 2 weeks.

 

[Vicky Park]

Frightening to think where we’d be without him - especially with Howe going down again. Big Bad Bill. You just know he’s gonna mark it or at least punch the daylights out of it.
