Story

I expect this means we'll see Clarke in the middle, and probably Brown up forward.

 

[Heater39]

Why on earth would Rocca be named as an emergency? either he should not have been named in the team at all or he should be playing. Doesn't make sense to me

 

[Territory Magpie]

I was wondering about that too, Heater39. Perhaps they're waiting to see how he pulls up after training, and if he's OK, he may be a late inclusion?

 

[sneakydaycrawler]

Goldsack is in.

 

[Coons17]

Why on earth would Rocca be named as an emergency? either he should not have been named in the team at all or he should be playing. Doesn't make sense to me

Will be to keep the Dogs guessing as to weather or not he will be a late inclusion.

 

[shawthing09]

My guess is toov's pulls out. If not I hope he does well. If he doesn't show signs of improving he will surely be one of the first in line for the chopping block at years end

I expect this means we'll see Clarke in the middle, and probably Brown up forward.

I bloody so!! Marty needs to be where the ball is at not defending!

 

[sunnyTEE]

If collingwood lose this round, i will officially come out of the closet. thats how confident i am

 

[Teh_Nub]

Are we letting a few players get a rest?
Davis, Fraser out
And i assume Rocca is injured

No, just no point playing these players when you will get beaten by 10 goals with or without them!

Who else is disgusted that Toovey is playing? No membership next year unless Malthouse gets sacked. Simple.

Take your money and run then that is disgusting. I personally do not agree with the selection nor am I thrilled with it. But to have so blatantly judged a youngster is horrible and to hinge your buying a mermbership on that players selection is just disgraceful.

 

[smiddaz123]

I've never been so furious over a selection. Christ, Malthouse plays favourites with Toovey so blatantly it's horrible.

Everyone should just not show up as a show of disgust.

I live in Tasmania and never get to see the pies play live.

Don't take it for granted and not show because you disagree with a selection. I'd give anything to be able to go the Collingwood games regularly.

Toovey

he hasnt even had any form leading up to the game

why is he selected? i mean seriously

at leat pick someone who has played in the vfl and who is in some form not toovey who has been injured and has show no form

he needs to earn his selection and this round he hasnt!!!!!!!

who agrees?

 

[Ickirus]

Im sure Toovey is a goog guy and all but for him to be selected coming back from an injury and having played one average game at VFL is a joke.

For him to be selected ahead of a guy like Stanley who has been getting around 25 touches and many centre clearances and tackles in the VFL is mind boggling considering we already have alot of mid sized players in the side already and are getting killed in the centre clearances.

Toovey should have earn't his way into the team through the VFL like others have, not be gifted a spot, even Toovey's biggest fans couldn't argue with this logic

And Ben Reid hadn't played for three weeks prior to last week, and had a good game.

get over it

 

[smiddaz123]

Wrong. I thought he had just missed the previous week?

He's shown he has the qualities and UPSIDE to develop into an important player.

Toovey has shown close to no upside and/or ability.

Baffling selection, putting it nicely.

 

[medhurstugun#7]

and Ben Reid Hadn't Played For Three Weeks Prior To Last Week, And Had A Good Game.

get Over It

Your The Only Person Who Thinks Toovey Warrants A Selection

And Ben Reid Has Proven He Can Play Before (against Hawthorn) Toovey Hasnt

What The **** Is Mick Thinking?

The Only Reason Toovey Got A Game Is Because Mick Loves Him And It Is Form That Should Decide Whether Someone Gets A Game And In This Case It Hasnt Which Is Unfair On The Players In Form In The Vfl

hoggy You Are A Fishmonger

 

[Godfrey Jones]

i wonder how many of you flogs will apologise if he has a good game

 

[smiddaz123]

i wonder how many of you flogs will apologise if he has a good game

What would I have to apologise for?

He does not deserve a call up at the moment. He's had close to 2 months out and hasn't shown form even close to that of Iles/Anthony/Stanley in the VFL.

If he has a good game, I'll congratulate him and acknowledge he deserves to hold his spot for now.

Whether he has a good game or not doesn't change the fact that in my view, his selection is stupidity and Malthouse playing favourites.

 

[sneakydaycrawler]

You can dream all you like but it wont happen.

The "I'm not renewing my membership!" stuff always cracks me up.

Toovey shouldn't be playing, but what exactly are you trying to accomplish? You'd simply be depriving yourself.

Next time I'm at my local Coles, I'm telling them I'm not coming back unless they start stocking better quality cheeses. That'll show them!
