Preview Port V Collingwood (Boak's 300th)

[Enviable Tradition]

Davies said in that interview that they will be looking at bringing some (or all) of the remaining 4 over to Melbourne in the coming days. Apparently some guys couldn't get on the plane due to issues but these guys are not in the frame for selection... Not sure if that means they are injured or that they are not currently good enough.

They may also be considering that if a few players end up needing to isolate we may need all hands on deck.

I guess that with the soft cap cuts they also don’t have the staff to stay behind with injured or developing players.

 

[PAFC66]

great

let's finish a quarantine facility when we no longer have quarantine

this is dopey politics pandering to fear

You think this will be the last pandemic? You think we won't need quarantine next year? Lol

 

[PAFC66]

The GF should be in Queensland again.

NSW is cooked. Victoria is too big and thus more prone to outbreaks than smaller states. SA and especially WA are too lockdown happy (it's comical that people think WA is a realistic option when 1 case triggers a lockdown and could shut the crowd out hours before a grand final).

The second best option is literally Tasmania lol.

Why?

There's every chance Victoria will be out of lockdown next week the way it's going.

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

CD said 40 of the 44 in the playing squad are in Melbourne this morning. Not sure who stayed home though.

Thanks.

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

So is tomorrow the first time all week our players will be allowed to train after being in hotels/home all week?

Terrible prep if so. Has any team had to spend 5 days in quarantine before a days run and then game day?

Wouldn’t be surprised if were quite flat come Friday.

Training as we speak at Marvel

What about the next lockdown? History says it will happen. And remember, after every lockdown comes the period of adjusting back to normal.

Could say that about anywhere then

 

[TeeKray]

Could say that about anywhere then

Yeah, that's why I said Tassie is nearly the best option. Victoria will have more outbreaks than the other states though simply because of a much larger population.

I'm hoping we're gonna do a Denmark 1992 and prove that no preparation is the key to success.

Tassie is a great option but they they've said no every single time

We’re gunna win we’re gunna win

We’re gunna win we’re gunna win

So we had 0 crowd against the SUNS in R1 last year and against St Kilda last week. What were the other 2?

will play his 300th game against the Magpies on Friday night in one of the more bizarre build ups to such a big milestone. In doing so, he equals a club record for the most games in AFL history. It adds to a growing list of accolades on the 32-year old’s resume, including two best and fairests and three All-Australians. The former skipper has enjoyed a second burst in his career in recent seasons to reclaim his status as one elite midfielders of the competition. Showing no signs of slowing down, Boak could now be considered one of, if not the best Power player of all-time. Perhaps the only thing holding him back of holding the title outright is a premiership medallion.

Magpies’ burning question: Will the dam wall break?

Collingwood has been hit hard on the injury front in recent weeks, with the likes of Darcy Moore

are all in doubt to play this week. It will lead to the Magpies fielding one of its most inexperienced teams in recent history on Friday night, including two confirmed debutants in Jack Ginnivan and Anton Tohill. Amid a disappointing season with the finish line now in site and a growing injury list, it must be questioned how motivated this group will be and if at some stage they wave the white flag.

Hahaha I heard an interview with him where he said Burgoyne, Rockliff, Farrell and Motlop (5aa yesterday). Not sure if he is giving mixed messages or we are getting confused.

Caro mentioned that Fantasia might be ready for a scratch match on 5aark tonight, so he may already have gone over to Melb with the main group.
