Pretty much the perfect match-ps for both sides there IMO

I like Thomas and Lockyer playing negating roles on our forward line and i think you have got our backline match-ups pretty much right.

Yes. Toovey on Motlop!!!!

How many extra weeks will we give him?

well all i'll say that if he's not at 100%, leave him out. 8 days later we play melbourne on queens birthday, no offence to melbourne but it would be an easier game for him to return for.

it also gives him 8 days to absolutely get it right, having said all of that if he's 100% fit then bring him in now. but dick did well, lockyer did well too. so who does he come in for? with thomas, didak, medhurst, rocca and t cloke coming in over the next 2 weeks you have to drop players for them dont you. after the west coast game if you can find more than 3-4 changes you're doing well.

How many extra weeks will we give him?

You give him as many weeks as his injury needs. What are you suggesting? We delist him because his injury has taken a bit longer than we originally thought it would?

If he is 100% then play him. If he isn't then he gets another 8 days. If he isn't 100% in 8 days then he misses that game too. Dids is a gun player. You make sure he is right before playing him.

Having said that I bet he gets up this week. Apparently the only reason he didn't play last week was because it was in Perth.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

You give him as many weeks as his injury needs.

Plus another one to be sure. In fact I'd give him half a game in the VFL before playing seniors.

I really hope Dick, Cox, Goldsack, Sidebottom and Wood all become fine Collingwood players. The commentary would be awesome. Chuck in a couple of Browns and we're laughing.

Sounds like you are starting a rumour....

 

[toxic]

just asking the question as i heard it on SEN this morning

 

[BigA.G]

Sounds like you are starting a rumour....

I heard it aswell. Any truth in it? Anyone?

 

[Trojan82]

Its about now I expect someone who was at training to pipe up and say "This is complete and utter BS" Please do that.

Now.

 

[toxic]

which is exactly what i was asking for in the first place

Does anyone know why Nathan Krakouer was withdrawn last week? (He's in mu SuperCoach team and if Dids doesn't play i really need someone to replace him)

 

[MrNatural]

Good to see Port still dont have Shaun Burgoyne available
That man is a freak, destroyed us last time, even though we still won.

I think if we come to play we should win comfortably. I can only see Motlop possibly causing us problems

from afl website:

Scott Pendlebury, despite rumours he had injured himself this week, was on the track and didn’t seem hampered.
