Team for the Crows

[Optimax]

Collingwood has named an unchanged line-up for Saturday night’s clash with Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.

The Magpies have stuck with the 22 that put in such a gutsy performance to overcome an in-form Essendon on ANZAC Day.

Emergencies for this week's match are Shane Wakelin, Chris Egan and Sam Iles.

Collingwood comes in to the game having won three of its five matches so far in season 2007, while Adelaide, which has also won three from five, is coming off a one-point loss to Fremantle at Subiaco last Sunday.

Forward Paul Medhurst is yet to fully recover from an ankle injury sustained in round three, but is not far away from making a return.

Good to see all the kids are still in, i still wonder where Medhurst is.
Looking forward to it on Saturday night Go Pies!!!

 

[Ekulman]

sucks that Medhurst isn't playing.
I think we still have a chance though.
Wouldn't mind seeing Egan given a run and give Dick a rest.

What is wrong with Medders

 

[Medstar]

There was some talk wellingham might get elevated for this game.

 

[Stakerz]

I would do it next week IMO.

Who knows with Dick, sure he is exciting but may need the rest. But in saying that he may kick a few goals this game.

 

[Ron]

Pretty happy with that.
Medders is the only one who could have really come in, but i'm not too disappointed.

Next week should be interesting, with Medhurst and Holland coming back in, and Lonie a chance.
Should be interesting to say the least.

 

[Magpie Mick]

Medhurst and Holland will be back nexy week.

BTW where is Lonie?

 

[Stakerz]

Medhurst and Holland will be back nexy week.

BTW where is Lonie?

Expected to come back next week.

Has a groin injury I beleive.

 

[Sydney Crow]

I may get bashed from pillar to post for saying this but I think you blokes at $3 in a two horse race is very good odds. Our lengthening injury list, a week after a trip to Subi and you blokes always lift against us no matter what.

I think we are very short at $1.40.

Something to ponder anyway.

 

[favourites]

Lonie has OP, so the rumours are... thats why when they had him listed at 1-2 weeks i knew he wouldnt return before Anzac Day. Hopefully he gets himself fully fit, can be a dangerous player and uses the ball very well, something we really do struggle with.

If we are to beat the Crows this is the game to do it.They have a few players out and if rocca,didak,davis and cloke play well we should finish with a win.I am not overly confident with this game because they have their home ground advantage and the crows are a well drilled outfit,and players like welsh,macleod could be a handful if not kept in check.Anyway i still believe we can win this one Pies by 15 points.

 

[Big Bryza]

I hurt my ankle and it took 4 weeks before i could run let along get out on the field and move laterally and so forth. Im guessing Medhurst has a similar injury so im thinking he is probably a couple of weeks away at least.

No offence mate but I'm not sure you can compare your ankle injury to Medhurt's. I'd be pretty sure that he's getting some pretty intensive daily rehab on the ankle whereas unless you are also an elite athlete, I'm pretty sure you weren't.

As I said no offence, but I think I'd prefer to listen to what the Pies have to say.

 

[mm fan]

If we are going to be any sort of side this year we have to win Saturday. Going to the game sitting in the middle of crows members so need to win.
Looking forward to seeing Fraser and Bryan in the ruck Thats where we will win it .

 

[ICanDressMyself]

Good luck, should be a tight tussel like always.

Crows by 58.
