I think post bye is when the club will pull the trigger on both greenwood and Reid barring anymore setbacks. Bloody handy inclusions as we take on the Hawks, freo and the power

Going to be exciting seeing Greenwood finally step out for us. Hopefully the Freo game, if not then back against Hawthorn.

Any reason you want Reid held back? Personally if he gets through the next 2 VFL games then I'd be getting him in the side against Freo. Could be huge if he finds his best form in the second half of the season.

I doubt they will want him flying over to Perth for his 1st game back,
(his arms might get sore with all the flapping )
due to the cabin pressure and restricted leg room.
I'd guess they would hold him back another week and have him play in Melbourne.

How did you come to that conclusion? Serious question. Caff said that he is on track to play at the back end of the year. Nothing was said about season over. Hell, even the title suggests positive news!

I heard that there was another pretty serious hamstring injury today with the injured person needing to be stretchered off the ground. Apparently happened during a game of touch footy outside the club.

Anyone else hear anything?

I meant at AFL Level. He find it hard to get back in

Nah first I've heard of it. Im heading down to training tomorrow so will be looking for our 39 fit group to become 38 and shark who it may potentially be.

Feel free to drop a name or a PM for someone to check out on

Just out of curiosity am abit perplexed where this touch footy was played if being stretchered off the ground would surely indicate a semi professional environment/organisation and not a game of footy in the park with mates.

Oh no! Not the Coach!

This from the Collingwood web site:

"Collingwood senior coach Nathan Buckley is to have hamstring surgery on Wednesday evening after injuring himself on Tuesday afternoon.

Buckley tore the hamstring in his left leg from the bone playing touch football and was advised this morning that immediate surgery to re-attach the muscle is required.

It is expected that Buckley will coach the side against Melbourne next Monday but if this is not possible senior assistant coach Robert Harveywill deputise.

Harvey took control of the training program this morning and will continue to oversee the preparation of the squad until Buckley returns.

“Clearly, the end to my playing career taught me very little,” Buckley said.

“I’m still confusing ambition with ability and my ropey hamstrings are still reminding me of that mistake.”

Harvey has worked by Buckley’s side since 2012, was promoted to senior assistant at the end of 2013 and is in his seventh season of coaching after drawing a decorated playing career with St Kilda to a close in 2008.

Collingwood Director of Football, Neil Balme, said he expected the training week to continue smoothly.

“As important as the senior coach is, the strength and quality of the Collingwood program should compensate for his absence for a couple of days if that is what transpires,” Balme said.

“‘Harves’ and the rest of the coaching staff are an experienced group and more than capable of ensuring continuity.”

I did flick him a message early this morning on Twitter but Coach Buck's obviously declined to comment

Love his words in this statement - 'confusing ambition with ability'

The shame about Greenwood and Reid is I believe the VFL has another bye in 2 weeks? You'd think both Greenwood and Reid would need more than 2 or 3 VFL hit outs respectively. Greenwood potentially not as he has been able to get a big body of work in the last couple of weeks and similarly hasn't had the issues Reid has had throughout his career and also as a midfielder someone you could throw the green vest too not that I would advocate for that. You would think the club would want a big body of work in Reid though, and Reid for his mental case may need the same. I still wouldn't be expecting Reid to play AFL for at least another 5 weeks.

Reid wont last 5 weeks

At least Bucks won't get blamed if we lose.

Updated list - finally looks like only being four, plus the two that will go unnamed:

READY TO PLAY:
Brenden Abbott (illness) "Brenden missed the VFL game. He had been quite ill during the week. I saw him on Tuesday and he was running so he should be fine."
Taylor Adams (toe) "He’s certainly going very well with (his toe). We’re reasonably confident that he will be available for this week, but he will need to train so there’s no certainty, but we’re pretty happy that he will be."
Jarryd Blair (ankle) "Jarryd hurt his ankle during the game but was able to finish the game off so we’re very confident that he will play this week.”
Levi Greenwood (fractured tibia) "We expected Levi to play in the VFL last week bit we were a little bit conservative and decided not to play him. He ran over the weekend and ran again today so he is almost a certainty for Werribee on Sunday."
Jarrod Witts (soreness) "Jarrod was a little bit sore. In truth he probably could have played but we decided to give him a rest. He will be almost a certainty for this week as well."

2 -3 WEEKS AWAY:
Nathan Freeman (hamstring) "Nathan is recovering from that little bit of extra surgery on his hamstring. We’re not going to rush him, he will be medium-term as well."
Brent Macaffer (knee) "Brent had that little bit of extra surgery on his knee. He’s really recovering from that and we will be very conservative with him. He is probably more likely to be medium-term."
Jackson Ramsay (shin) "Jackson has still been a little bit slow with that shin problem. Often those stress reactions are like that, a little bit slow to come on. He is walking a lot, doing a little bit of running, but will still be probably medium-term I would think."
Ben Sinclair (hamstring) "We always said Ben's hamstring would take a while. He is training pretty well but he will probably be after the bye so that would make him medium-term."

[MyManLynch]

List is looking stronger & deeper all of a sudden.
Pressure for places heating up...perform or out you go...
Even the medium term chaps will find it hard to break in (Caff, Ramsay, Freeman & Sinclair) will have to play some bloody good VFL to get the nod.
So we should be at top strength within a couple weeks, when Reid & Greenwood are ready for AFL, plus Moore & Scharenberg start to press for selection with consistent VFL form.

Looks lot better the last years one

Would you think that Greenwood would return faster due to his injury not being soft tissue and just a contact injury, hoping he can return for the freo game
