2nds VFL - Collingwood vs Casey.

[Smoky]

When I come back from my Reunion/ excuse to get on the sauce... I expect to see Rusling with 6 majors to his name.

Nothing less, thankyou.






(and yes... I have already had a few!)

 

[the mighty T]

gee so much for that good looking forwardline. No Rus, Rounds, Anthony. McCarthey out as well..

J.B has said their all injuries but nothing major

Thanks Ramere

Sounds like Dawes may just get his opportunity on Anzac Day.

Kicked a couple and playing quite well.

Almost sounds like a given with Jack/Rus not playing.

Also, Rounds and J-Mac not playing either.

Jack has a hurt ankle, but what is the go with Rus, Jmac, and rounds?

Don't know about Roundsy or J-Mac but Rus is definitely being "managed" IMO as part of his program to keep him fresh and get him through the season I would have thought.

Either that, or he was dropped for getting a bag of seven kicked on him last week at FB.

On a serious note, how bad is Jack's "hurt ankle"? We really need him back, fit and firing in the seniors.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Just at the game and it's half time, Scorpions 8.8 to our 7.7.

We're turning the ball over at half back repeatedly, resulting in scores to Casey on the counter attack. Blight has lost the knee strapping and looks really good, Dawes presenting well and following up on the deck. Buckley running hard and building on his good effort last week. Wood looks short of some match fitness which is understandable. Reid and Browny having mediocre days so far. Big Shae has looked good in patches.

None the wiser here as to why JA, Rus, Rounds and J-Mac are MIA.

All pulled up sore supposedly.

Jonathon Bernard:
All missing through injury. Precautionary move by the club Brown told me.

20 points down at 3/4 time.

Inaccurate goal kicking is killing us (sounds familiar).

Dawes 2.3, Goldsack doing well also, Ben Reid smashing Watts.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

J-Mac, Sinclair, JT and Rounds all soaking up the sun on the grass near the forward pocket we're kicking to this last quarter. If any are injured it doesn't look life threatening!

 

[HFF]

^^^^ hahaha.

Cannot wait to actually see JT play a few games.

 

[Zahki]

The poor accuracy seems to be a running theme at the club this yeah, eh?

 

[mattys123]

Buckley and O'bree on fire in the last quarter, scores are level now, cmon pies, get our first VFL win of the year.

 

[HFF]

Hahaha, yeh the poor conversion seems to run through the entire list.

Thrilling finish to the VFL game though.

Scores level with 10mins to go.

Simon Buckley kicked the last two.

 

[Optimax]

Poor conversion is becoming an AFL wide thing

 

[HFF]

Dawesy takes a pack mark 20m out directly in front!

Kicks his 3rd.

Senior selection beckoning...

 

[mattys123]

DTM just exploded as Dawes took a pack mark and kicks the goal to put us 7 points up.

 

[Number 10]

Rusling is injured, has been since Wednesday. Heard from a very reliable source.
I hope its not true, but he seemed 100% serious. IF so, game over rus.

Meanwhile, I saw Anthony at last night's game, didn't seem to be limping etc. So im guessing maybe it was just that ankle he rolled last week and knowing him he would've worked his ass off this week, but may have strained it a bit too much to jump/run at full strength.
On a side note, Anthony does look a bit scrauny at the moment, maybe needs to hit the gym, work on some core strength and his arms... needs far more strength in the air.

 

[Territory Magpie]

DAWES!!! Takes a strong mark and converts from 25 metres. Pies now in front by 8 points.

 

[handy point]

Pies in front by 8 - 20 mins into the last.
