Where have you seen that?
Saw it on Facebook -

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has confirmed that maligned forward Travis Cloke will play against the Fremantle Dockers tomorrow night, his second game since he was dropped for the Anzac Day match against the Bombers.
Cloke has managed to find little form in the VFL, but Buckley admitted after the Queens Birthday match against Melbourne that he made some selection blunders heading into that game.
Buckley also confirmed that defender Nathan Brown and former Brisbane Lions midfielder James Aish will make their senior return also after spending a number of weeks in the VFL.
Rookie Tom Phillips, ruckman Jarrod Witts and defender Jack Frost have all been omitted from the team that went down to the Demons two Monday's ago.
Could be bullshit though, the ins sound accurate but the outs could still be unknown.

Sounds right as in replacements
Buckley has also said that M.Cox may be a late out pending weather

Not sure what to do if Phillips is out :/.
Would be terrible, I'm needing his DPP so this would force me to change both of my planned trades and then I'd have no idea what to do with Mathieson.
I've been very happy with my trades all week, haven't even touched them for about the first ever time, please don't screw me over Buckley!!

Same boat, been very happy with my trades and now i'm worried.
We shall find out in a few hours, the Pies fans will be quite unhappy if he's dropped going off their board.
Fingers crossed aye matey!

Fingers crossed indeed!
I actually just changed my trades anyway haha.
Decided it's the wrong week to get Simpson when he is playing GWS at home, so Wells > Deledio and Liberatore > Steven.
Steven or GAJ lads? I'm torn. GAJ is GAJ but Steven is an uber premo these days and I'm not as worried about him getting injured.

Flog
I've got both now
.Lets look at their form lines:
Stevo: 132, 103, 135, 138, 83
GAJ: 120, 124, 120, 82, 82
They both have a similar run coming up, could almost toss a coin... It's Stevo for me comparing the two,GAJ will probably score better this week as he loves playing the Hawks but think you're safe with either of them.

Would it be crazy to trade Dangerfield to Ablett pocket 113k and expect about the same scoring from them from here on in?
I need to get rid of some R13 players for byes.
Otherwise im looking at getting in a J.Joyce or T.Mckenzie.

Waste of a trade IMO.
If you were cashing him in you would do it next week but you'd still be crazy. 83 break even and has scored below that once this season against GWS.

Is it a waste if they score the same from here on in though and it pockets me 113k? Ablett would also have a low BE
I just have no idea what other trade to do. Will probably go Frost to L.Pierce
Means i go into R15 with 13 players missing before trades and teams are named.

I would need to see your team. I can't believe that your best trade is going Danger > Ablett.

Whats bad about the trade though? Ablett doesnt miss a game from here on unless injury occurs and is every bit as good dream teamer as Dangerfield plus i pocket a nice 113k
Your failing to tell me why its a bad trade?
Yellow Feathers
Norm Smith Medallist
Harwood injured.
Milera and Phillips not named.
Guess who's down to 16 already.

What's bad is you are trading out the inform player in the competition who has scored 140+ and 180+ in the last two weeks, also plays Essendon, Richmond, Melbourne and Brisbane during the last 4 rounds.
If they score exactly the same for the rest of the year then yes, it's not a bad trade. It's a gamble, Danger has a much higher ceiling compared to Ablett this season.
You have got yourself in a spot where you have too many round 15 bye players, I can see that.
Looking at your team I would trade Daniel Wells.

How are people so certain on Phillips not being named?

Ablett is also avg 121 in his last 3 games hes also an inform player of the comp
What has the last 4 rounds got to do with anything? why is that a priority over the next 6 rounds?
M.Robinson, Jack Viney tags?
Who would you trade Wells to though?
13 round 15 bye players before the next 4 trades. I could potentially go Wells to Laird and swap Tippa forward and keep for a week. id sort of prefer to keep Wells though otherwise im not improving my side.

How is Dangerfield > Ablett improving your side though? I figured you would be playing in leagues as well as for overall? Hence the last 4 rounds are important. I'm in money leagues so I care about league finals.
Honestly i'd say go with your gut, that way you only have yourself to blame if things go pear shaped. Trading Danger to Ablett could be crazy enough to work.

It does in 2 ways
More points as Dangerfield is guaranteed to miss one game for the rest of the season
and the other is it gains me 113k
It is a crazy idea but it also has merit
League finals is great but planning for the last 4 rounds is pointless if you dont actually make finals in the first place
Haven't seen him being named as out anywhere from Buckley's / Collingwood's actual mouth. Don't believe it to be honest. Would be so harsh considering some of their crappy players.
Even if he is out, I might still trade him in..... not many other options :/ really doing it for the M/F link I'd lose from trading out Keays. Mason Cox will probably be a late out, and in that case Phillips would still get a run. So just going to stick with it. Already have 18 players playing regardless of if Phillips plays or not.
