Round 12 vs. Magpies

I'm keen to move on already

This question possibly should have gone into the Craig Bolton injury thread; how are Collingwood's key forwards looking this season? I'll be watching the game today with interest to see. What will our potential matchups be if Craig doesn't come up for the match?

On other defensive matchup headaches, who'll take Medhurst?

Who will suspend him?

Leadership group, he has carry over points with them.

Ablett needs a spot to open up too. Isn't he in the cool gang now?

Rhetorical question? Looks like Bevo. Mattner may get Didak. We have to bring Smith and Laidlaw in. Both have played on the backline but it would be a tough ask to put them on Didak or Medhurst. Crouch should be suspended for his trip but he may get a repreive from the Tribunal and the selection panel to take Leon. If Crouch doesn't play we have to play one of the kids on Davis. If they bring back Ablett i give up.

Is that a promise or a threat??

That is so funny!

Nathan J Brown hyperextended knee. Could be an out in 2 weeks, depending on the seriousness.

Anthony is limping.

Looked like Mattner was struggling with some sort of injury during the game yesterday. Seemed a bit sore later in the game.

Medhurst didn't get up for the game today (for some reason I thought he was going to). Chance he might be okay for next week?

They seem to be doing OK without him at the moment!

Dick scored 5 goals today, another headache for Roos.

Just want to point out that we now have a week off, we play next on June 20- due to split round.

Also wonder if the team will get lots time off -remember last year they were given a big break and when they came back, they looked like they'd totally forgotten how to play.

I'm frightened that the Pies game will be an absolute shocker.

[Jeffers1984]

I shudder at the thought of what their small/medium enigmatic forwards in Dick, Medhurst, Didak, Leon Davis and Thomas will do to our backline. They will run circles around them.

No Craig Bolton for the red hot Jack Anthony as well.

...hmm like i said, i shudder at the thought.

Don't worry we have Rhyce Shaw now. We recruited him especially for this match. Mick's secrets are now in the open.

Close to a certainty. Was very close to playing today.

Will probably play reserves next week.
