You must be disappointed Jacobs is no longer on the menu/list

Surely Finbar can take over the 'sauce' label.

Feb 20.

Wonder whether we'll be looking at getting as good a squad onto the paark for this one, or hold that idea back for the start of The Marsh series?

We will name a strong squad.

But there will be a heavy focus on managing minutes, workload and rotations.

we need to get back to our glory days where we achieved the reverse of winning the pre-season cup and the real season spoon.

 

[Aphrodite]

It's a practice match.

NO INJURIES



That is all!

From the AFL website:

ADDITIONAL PRE-SEASON HITOUTS CONFIRMED
Geelong v Collingwood – Thursday February 13 – GMHBA Stadium – TBC
Gold Coast v Brisbane – 7pm, Saturday February 15 – Metricon Stadium – 7pm – 4x25min
Carlton v Collingwood – 4pm, Thursday February 20 – IKON Park – 6x25min
Melbourne v Essendon – Friday February 21 – Casey Fields – TBC
North Melbourne v Melbourne - 1.10pm, Friday February 28 – Arden Street Oval
Hawthorn v St Kilda – 5pm, Friday February 28 – Morwell – 4x25min
Adelaide v Port Adelaide – 12pm, Saturday February 29 – Thebarton Oval – 4x25min

I'm assuming the 6 x 25 minute sessions is a typo. If not, means there's more footy for us

Why did they reduce it to 2 games if every club has gone ahead and scheduled a 3rd anyway?

the daisy cup........

[LCBlues95]

Beating the pies one more time on Princes Park. why not!

Cost shifting?

 

[Skull Face]

Cost shifting?

I thought it was because the club's complained, maybe they just want to make sure they only play away once

 

[Amers]

Thursdays are my day off, so I'll be there, looking forward to seeing Eddie and some of the new boys run around for us!!

Docherty back, as Blues remain uncertain on Curnow

No return date for Charlie Curnow but two other key forwards are on track for round one, while Sam Docherty prepares for his long awaited comeback

www.theage.com.au

Carlton co-captain Sam Docherty will make his long-awaited return for the Blues in a practice match against Collingwood at Ikon Park on Thursday night after he missed two consecutive seasons due to two knee reconstructions.

Carlton coach David Teague confirmed the All-Australian defender would be in action in the scratch match after an outstanding pre-season that has seen him return an even better athlete than he was before his first knee injury in November 2017.

old school amers, my man..........

Teague said in his Press, that the 4 players training will get to play in this game and that it goes for 6 quarters.

 

[Lace_Out]

That's a big ask, 4 of our players v 22 of theirs, for 6 qtrs no less..

Unless Cripps is one of those players, then it's unfair.

Sorry but no way. No way we’re lending Cripps to Collingwood to even it up.

I’m going. Feel a bit nervous. Am I a competent ‘game watcher’? Or am I just good at watching blokes run intervals along a boundary??
