Why isn't anyone playing Rocca? If anyone needs a run its that bloke.

Besides they should play the forward line in as it would line up in round 1. With the changes that have been made, Taz gone/Medders in/Ruz fulltime/Didders missing, the fwd line needs all the match practice it can get.

Don't want a repeat of round 1 vs Adelaide - Fwd line looked shell shocked and Rocca and Taz kick 1 goal between them.

Need to win this so we can see them play in Melb the following week. Also, the last thing they want to do is go to Sydney, then Carrara, then Perth!

Edit: Sorry, just read that article in The Gold Coast Bulletin with Brad Scott saying Bucks, Rocca and Licca won't be playing.

 

[daics cousin]

Was reported that Rocca,buckley,licca,clement will not play.Neither will didak (injured),holland (suspended).
I'd like to see reid,brown,clarke,********,medhurst,cook,anthony get a run.

 

[Philzsay]

What is happening with Josh Fraser at the moment? Is he injured?

 

[didaka]

Fraser won't play. He is just moving into full training.

FB. Iles. Prestigiacomo. Brown
HB. R Shaw. Maxwell. Johnson
C. Pendlebury. O'Bree. Egan
HF. Thomas. Cloke. Cox
FF. Medhurst. Rusling. Davis
Foll. Richards. Swan. H Shaw

Inter. Dick. Bryan. Cook. Burns. Clarke. Nicholls

 

[DWil6]

Will be good to see how Richards and Bryan go without Josh there. I'm looking forward to that and seeing Thomas take the next step.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

There's no point trying to guess until we see what the squad is, because we don't know which senior players are going to be in the side, which in turn affects which young players get games.

The ones you can bank on are Paul Medhurst, Chris Bryan and Guy Richards. Those three could potentially be important to us in terms of filling holes.

 

[Stakerz]

Just hurry up

I can't wait to see the pies play again.

I have been wearing my 2004/5 Collingwood Guernsey for about 2 days straight and have recently hung it up above my bed

GO COLLINGWOOD FOR 2007!

I thought that Brodie could play in the NAB and preseason games and his suspension only applied to the season proper. Is that right?

 

[BoundforGlory]

What is happening with Josh Fraser at the moment? Is he injured?

I was at training this morning and Fraser was in full training & looked good. Rocca was doing just some running work, but he isn't injured just a modified progam to keep him fresh all year!

Clement was in full training and also looked fit.
Didak was doing heaps of up & down sprint work, he looks like he could play round 4 to 6 IMO.

Holland was in full traiing. Bucks wasnt training & was working on his guns!

We have just about no injuries now, except for Didak & Dawes.

Round 1 NAB team will look like this IMO:

IIles Wakelin Maxwell

H Shaw Brown Obrien

R Shaw Swan Lonie

Thomas Cloke Egan

Medhurst Rusling Davis

Richards Davies Johnson

Inter: Bryan, d/ck, Stanley, Cook, Clarke, Burns, Pendelbury

rocca, fraser, bucks, lica, clement, obree, Presti, Holland, Lockyer & Didak will be the senior player to miss.

Also, today at training in a scrap match Fraser was playing alot at CHF with Richards & Bryan in Ruck. Maybe Mick wants all 3 in team come real stuff, with Fraser as an forward option!

 

[Nickelass]

I thought that Brodie could play in the NAB and preseason games and his suspension only applied to the season proper. Is that right?

He can play preseason but he's on a modified program to get him ready for round 6 not round 1. As result they'd be better off playing a youngster at this stage.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Cheers. It certainly does make sense to have him ready for round 6. Good thinking.

So the next question is, who do we thing will take his spot for those games?

 

[snooze]

Is this game on tv?

 

[nick_savo]

Yeh channel 7, If you mean the Collingwood vs. Kangaroos match.

 

[lenny&carl]

I wanna see us win, so any more than 5 debutantes would just be taking the piss. So, for a list of 24,

new guys - Brown, Dick, Clarke, Cox, Nichols.
almost new guys - Pendlebury, Rusling, O'Brien, Iles, Davies, Cloke.
middle-aged maestros/muppets - Bryan, Lonie, Stretch, Medhurst, Licca, Rhyce.
the actual team so we'll win - H.Shaw, Thomas, Leon, Johnno, Swan, Ego.
bench - Bucks

 

[nick_savo]

Bucks won't play.
They would be stupid to risk him.
