Notice no Cameron Wood again and not on injured list have I missed something?

^^ thought he was injured but no official thing about him on the injury list, begs the question, has he run out of lives?
I was hoping this was going to be his turnaround year but it just never seems to be the right time for him.
Persist, persist, persist!!!

Could be a planned rest for minor niggles?

Congratulations Ben! Hope he's back in the seniors soon.

Couldn't be happier to see the original Collingwood boy back. If we just get that bit of luck from now on things could fall our way. I would definitely feel more confident with Johnno off the back of the square even at 80% fitness than I do at present.

Awesome news. Welcome back Jonno!

So the team this week......

B: Chris Tarrant, Harry O'Brien, Nathan Brown
HB: Nick Maxwell, Ben Reid, Alan Toovey
C: Sharrod Wellingham, Alex Fasolo, Jarryd Blair
HF: Scott Pendlebury, Chris Dawes, Heath Shaw
F: Dale Thomas, Travis Cloke, Steele Sidebottom
Foll: Darren Jolly, Ben Sinclair, Dayne Beams

Int: Marty Clarke, Alan Didak, Jamie Elliott, Paul Seedsman

Emg: Luke Rounds, Tom Young, Peter Yagmoor

If we can add Johnson and Krak, and of course Swan and the Sack to this, thats a pretty damn good team.
Krak would have to be ready to go, but could take Sinclairs spot. The Sack and Swan for Elliot and Seedy and Jonno in for Marty.
Harsh for the young ones to get omitted, they have been great but if we get that bit of experience back, we may start to see some 4 quarter footy. And the good thing is Sinclair, Elliot and Seedy have played plenty this year, so they are there to go if need be. And how about the Caff?? Wow, all of a sudden we will have alot of players putting their hand up.

Very good news. We won't go far in the finals without some senior experience. Our backline looks much better with BJ in it.

Very happy to see Ben Johnson return after many weeks on the sidelines. I must say that it's great that he's returned, because I think he's been the 'missing link' off the half-back line in the senior side. In the past, I've noticed that Benny J tends to adapt well to the VFL quickly even after being out of the side and I think this time will be no exception. If he has a standout game tomorrow, the club will consider him for the North Melbourne match, otherwise he'll probably play in the VFL again next week. I'm predicting that he returns against West Coast in round 22 as he aimed to do.
