Cam Cloke out for season.

[Muffo]

Cameron Cloke out for the season with a shoulder reconstruction, is anyone else happy...?

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Jesus Christ, our bloody ruck department!

Plan A in the ruck now: Fanning
Plan B: There is no Plan B!

Mercy!

im not happy

 

[Presti_is_god]

Harry O'Brien... Come on down!!

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Harry O'Brien... Come on down!!

Richards half dead with a broken leg would be better than a fully fit David Fanning and Cameron Cloke.

Mercy!

Wont be much of a problem this week as Essendon also are struggling for Ruckmen. Most likely Cartledge will be in for only his 3rd game and Bradley to help out. So should be an interesting ruck duel on friday night.

People with this attitude are not supporters.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Cameron Cloke - hate his attitude off field, and maybe even on field, but looking at it, he was our only half decent ruckman. Josh Fraser is named to return if completes a fitness test, if not - i dunno.

Exactly. What club do you really go for?

I go for Collingwood have done since 1986 and always will. Since that time I have supported every player who has worn the jumper and will always.

I meant O'Brien will be promoted off the rookie list. He is no ruckman.

 

[jefffff34]

Give Hall a shot.

 

[Coin_Toss]

Cam is a huge loss. Tough challenge for young Fanning over the remaining rounds of this season, but hopefully he can improve a bit each week.

 

[Rozza44]

Good Test for Fanning to see if he got what it takes to stay on our list

Well, we'll see even ruck contests this Friday night then

Incorrect, people with this attitude ARE supporters, they are NOT members...

 

[Wildman]

Hope we get Fraser back this week,they'll probably give Walker another run.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Terrible news.

Is it the same shoulder he had done last year?

 

[dogga16]

Presti on Lloyd
Clement on Lovett
Maxwell on Lucas ??

Is there an obvious match up for Wakelin this week ???

Possibly he could be used as a back up for Fanning this week, a follower rather than a ruckman, this week only ?

Give Fraser another weeks training if need be !

 

[bucksisbest]

Hall will debut.
You'd think Wakelin would play on Johns(if he isn't dropped) , after Merrett kicked 4 on him last week you'd think he'd want to restore his pride-no matter how good the Lions delivery is.

 

[rychenroller]

Hall will debut

Seriously why? whats he shown? Essendon did that with Johns last week, for his previous 5 VFL games he had about a combined 10 touches Theres no point.

They'll ruck Fanning all night, and if Josh is uninjured, he'll be the relief off the bench for 10 min a quarter.

*Edit, disregard, just read he is playing.

 

[hotpie]

No news in the papers about Cam being out for the season though. It says he is out this week and doubtful next week and will have an operation at the end of the year.

Good luck to Big Bad Bustling Brent. Hope he guns, God knows we need it. Trav is next in line to ruck, after him it will be Presti!! Its also an ominous sign that Tristan Walker seems to be disregarded, could be the end for him maybe?

 

[Pedro]

Tex was injured in the game against Coburg I believe. That aside, he still may be no closer to getting a game

 

[hotpie]

Presti on Lloyd
Clement on Lovett
Maxwell on Lucas ??

Is there an obvious match up for Wakelin this week ???!

Wakelin on Lucas. He deserves first crack at Essendon's best forward. I'd like to see Maxwell forward as an experiment and J Cloke taking Essendons third tall forward.

 

[Murray]

Give Hall a shot.

But who will the Willi seconds use in the ruck?
