Do we look to Billy-Boy?

[leonmagic]

Before I get shouted down - I know his form is not impressive in the slightest, but is he a smokey for Monday?

I believe McGough, Maxwell, Richards, Lokan and Mullins hadn't/didn't set the world on fire before their debuts, yet have settled in very nicely.

Is he ANY chance at all, do we think? Or will BK get his 8,946th last chance at AFL level?

Morrison - not this year
Kinnear - never again

I've seen Morrison twice on TV in Willi games and both times he has looked far from a VFL footballer. Not even close to being considered. He will have his work cut out to make it into the seniors next year. Meanwhile Cam is there and doing fine. Not sure both can fit into our side.

 

[Joel]

Not just yet. I would rather play Cam Cloke at full forward, or even Didak if it came to it. Otherwise, Fraser can play there. We still have options.

Does anyone know if Rocca is a certainty to miss, yet?

HF: Didak, Fraser, L.Davis
F: Lockyer, C.Cloke, O'Bree.

This will have too do unless we move Wakelin or Clement forward which is possible or even the dreaded J.Cloke if he has no matchup in the back half.
Perhaps even Walker. My changes are:
IN: Walker, Mullins, O'Bree/Holland
OUT: Rocca, Tarrant, Swan

I would say you are about on the money with those changes and more likely to be Holland rather then O'Bree just due to the fact that Holland is fully fit and we just can't afford to take someone into the game who might not make it through!

There is also a good chance that Buckley will be named in the team but pretty sure if he is he will be a late withdrawal.

At the moment anyone is a chance. Even BK.

Totally Agreed!

Looks good, I'd substitute Lokan for O'bree tho, and have Cam playing CHF and Fraser deep. Looking forward to seeing him take some contested grabs using his ample strength.

BK = no chance, if we play him, we are on the path to oblivion!

COLLINGWOOD
B: Holland, Wakelin, J.Cloke
HB: Shaw, Clement, Cole
C: Woewodin, Buckley, Lockyer
HF: Didak, Rocca, Lonie
F: Johnson, C.Cloke, Fraser
FOLL: Richards, Burns, Licuria
I/C (from): Davis, Lokan, McGough, Maxwell, Prestigiacomo, Swan, Walker
IN: Buckley, Holland, Prestigiacomo, Walker
OUT: Tarrant (suspended)

Rocca been named, prob give him til the last minute. Bucks back as expected, and no BK. Excellent.

Ive seen Billy play VFL four times, 2 times he was good, the others he was very limited. He has shown some good signs in the way of over head mark and leading. He has he goods IMO but he isnt a prospect for selection this year.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Mick loves the kids at the moment and if Collingwood don't win enough games in the next month, I won't be suprised to see Morrison, Shackleton and even one of the Shaws come in just for an experienced senior list at AFL level.

Can't wait to next year when Davidson is back in the side though.

 

[Rival_V]

I believe he has been dropped to the reserves this week.
