Re: Injury Thread

any insights as to why Ceglar has just been withdrawn from the squad against Saints?

Injury? Was hoping he'd debut vs Hawks. Jolly to ruck solo whole game vs Saints seems a bit daft.

Re: Injury Thread

I know it sounds frustrating guys,we do have a few niggles and players are no where near peak fitness.

I know that Hawthorn will throw everything at us in round 1 especially after we exited them from last year's prelim,they will be super keen to beat us,and they may.

They are ahead of us at this stage of the year,as far as conditioning and ftness is concerned.Just gotta hope that we don't get any sertious injurires out of that game,its gonna be a rough and tough encounter.

The collingwoood hierarchy want us to get to full fitness second half of the year,this is where Buttifant has to work his magic so we a primed close to finals.the start of the year doesn't matter too much,although we must stay in touch with top 4 ,and not drop too many games.

At the half way mark if we are say 8-0 wins say 3-4 losses we can go hjard second half of the year,and run ourselves into peak fitness closer to end of yaer,ready to rip the finals apart.

Senior player management and a few who need to step up,will see us through ,i hope.

I'm actually not too sure about that with the player fitness levels. Buckley had the squad training very hard early on and players were saying it was more than they had done in any preseason previously. Collingwood then slowed down the training loads over the last few weeks and have spaced out NAB Cup games, but the fitness is already there and built up in most players. It's the lack of match fitness that is a concern with some players.

Re: Injury Thread

On track for what? Obviously not a rd 1 start, so for when are they on track to play? Also, I never realised we had so many players injured till I saw the list today.

Most on the list are ready come round one.

Re: Injury Thread

From the Pies website:

Missing in action
In positive news for Magpie fans, Chris Tarrant (foot), Alan Didak (adductor), Ben Johnson (hamstring), Nathan Brown (knee), Dayne Beams (shin) and Cameron Wood (shoulder) are all expected to be available for selection in round one. All six will sit out this week’s match giving several youngsters another opportunity to impress.

Good news I guess? But how underdone will they be?

I think we need to accept a Round 1 loss to the Hawks, which will be FAR from the end of the world, and will simply put more focus on them, and less on us.

Could be a good thing in the long run.

As long as we throw everything at them and don't get pumped I'll be happy.

Re: Injury Thread

They might be ready for round 1 but there's no way we're gonna pick so many players who are coming back from injury at once.

Gonna be a tough first few rounds I think.

I thought I made that clear when I said that Bucks was pessimistic about their chances of playing round 1.

To reiterate they are both on track to return around the time that it was projected they would, when Buckley commented on there injuries earlier this pre-season.

I'd hazard a guess that Thomas is being held back so long because they want to make sure he is 100% right when he does return.

Re: Injury Thread

According to The Age Wellingham, Wood and Tarrant are playing in the VFL game with Didak and Johnson redy for round 1 but probably with the VFL. Beams and Brown definitely not playing in round 1.

That is awesome news especially regarding taz who is crucial for round 1. Living in Sydney it is hard to get many updates. Thank god for the Internet. Would be great to have taz, wellers and wood good for the hawks.

Fwiw I reckon we r still a massive chance against hawks and even more confident if taz plays.

Taz won't take Franklin it'd have to be Reid you'd think, which is a pity, Taz always seems to keep Franklin leading to his non-preferred side.

Jolly, midfield, Cloke and Dawes have to play at the peak though.

 

[Shellz]

Taz, didak and Johnson will hopefully play against the bendigo bombers next weekend.

Re: Injury Thread

have heard that didak and Tarrant will be struggling to be fit for round 1.

Even if Tarrant plays reserves, 6 day turnaround brfore round 1 means,he will still miss.Maxwell is racing aginst time to get fit.
Nathan Brown,is still a few weeks away.

So quite possible we will be missing,Tarrant,Brown,Didak,Johnson,Maxwell,Beams,Wood.

Which means newbies in Elliot,Yagmoor,Keefe,Paine will get a run.

I doubt whether Keefe can handle buddy,so round 1 Hawks by 20 points ,

outside Tarrant or maybe Reid i doubt someone like Keefe can stop Buddy.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Re: Injury Thread

Franklin would destroy Keefe who is not an option to play on Buddy. Only Reid could be considered for this role.

Keefe is about as likely to line up on Buddy as Travis Cloke is.

Re: Injury Thread

Yep.

If Keefe is playing on Franklin, it means Buddy has already kicked 7 on Reid, and the game is already lost.

If Tarrant isn't playing then we might as well forfeit the game from now and save any more players gettign injured because Tarrant curbing Buddy was our only legitimate shot at winning.

 

[daics cousin]

Re: Injury Thread

If Tarrant doesn't play, and Maxwell doesn't come up in time.Brown is still a few weeks away,then I reckon the only option we have is Reid to take Buddy or maybe even Goldsac.

Goldsac could be the oone.I know buddy is possibly slightly taller but Goldasc is an aggressive player he could do the trick.

I am running out of options if not Reid or Goldasc then it has to be keefe

 

[boxy2010]

Re: Injury Thread

We put anyone but keefe on buddy...theres a plan

 

[melissamarie]

Re: Injury Thread

I would say no taz and no brown?no win for collingwood in round 1. thats ok though its only round 1

Doesn't matter , the ball won't get down there , he'll have to get his touches in th midfield

Re: Injury Thread

LOL too many folk thinking we still have the young inexperienced side of 2007-09 at present. this side is so much more mature & talented than back then - we are the challenged, not the challenger.

going in as confident as we can be.

No backing down from me, I still think we'll win, or as I've said, if we do happen to lose, it won't be by the 20-40 point predictions I've seen, it will be by a very small margin.

Take Tarrant out (still a chance to play), and we are only really missing Johnson and Didak from the prelim side last year (Beams played, but was almost useless with injuries). I don't count Davis or Brown, as both gave us very little on the night, in fact Leon almost cost us the game in that 3rd quarter on Puopolo.

So if either, or both of them come up, even if Taz doesn't play, we are still a massive chance.

Let's see the Hawks beat our forward press with their predictable short kicking game, it hasn't worked in the past against us, so why would it work now?

Keep the faith.

Well after the Saints game I felt more Confidence we can Win RD 1 but still not 100% confident
