Player Watch Josh Rachele

[Soggy2112]

Nicksy slipped out that he’s at least still 1-2 weeks away from playing on 5AA last night. Basically, it seems he’s zero chance for the first final and they’re targeting any games after that.

Burgess said that in his last update.

On Crows Instagram there is a vid asking a question.

Rash is in blue Guernsey which is the same as what looks to be first team with boots in hand.

Second team players wearing white.
.
Maybe he is in.

Are you sure they’re not just training him with the first team as that’s obviously where he’ll be when he’s ready to go?

Burgess said that in his last update.

That wasn’t exactly super clear about whether it was 1-2 weeks away from playing or returning to full training. It’s clear now that he was referring to full training.

 

[weekend at bernies]

reckon at best he is sub. but more likely will be ready for our home prelim.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

None of us will know either way until the team is named next Wednesday. Regardless of what the club says publicly, they'll be trying to get him back as soon as possible.

Haha classic. He’s 100% not playing. How many more times does the club have to spell it out for some of you?

so you're saying there's a chance?

They said he’s ruled out but I think we should wait and see what they do on Wednesday

I'm going to give them until Thursday arvo for a late geelong-esque call up.

Why wouldn’t I be?

It just makes me laugh that even after the club comes out and says he ain’t playing, people still think he might be playing.

The club has said for at least a couple of weeks he wont be ready for the 1st game of finals. Only a week ago he didnt look great on his knee. To be fair though, some people dont sit there and follow every injured player closely. Probably just thought he might be available. Even now, if we lose this game and he plays next week expect a few people to question whether he could have played against the Pies.

 

[Crow till I die]

Why rule him out at all..even if we have no intention of playing him,surely for the mind games you make Collingwood think he is a strong chance to play and make them plan accordingly?????

I think you vastly overestimate how these kind of decisions matter.

If Rachele plays, all it means is the guy you assign to do these kind of jobs has him. If not, he just goes to Keays.

hmmm, not sure as Rach poses a vastly different set of problems to that of Keays or ANB and it might have been that Collingwood were going to bring in a certain type of defender to run with him so keeping that decision as long as possible on the table throws their set up into doubt - maybe.

 

[Brenton Davy]

maybe sub?

And say we get an injury in the first 5 minutes?

I can't believe it makes you laugh, how pathetic. Even after the club comes out and says it doesn't make you laugh, you still come here and lie to everyone.

Calm down. It’s a figure of speech. He isn’t playing. And I felt it was slightly amusing. We’re on the same team here.

The club has come out and said you are the one that needs to calm down.

What are you talking about? I’m so confused.
