Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board

That's what I said yesterday just before the teams were announced about an AA player missing thread...

No point in panicking just yet.

Please Collingwood don't treat us like idiots - Reid has completed an indoor training session whilst every other player picked to play PLUS the three emergencies are all training??!?

Give us some credit for having even an ounce of intelligence.

Here's the summary: Ben Ried will not play - take it to the bank.

Urgh, not sure I wanna think about how we manage these match ups if he misses.

You'd almost say Leigh Brown has to play back again. Lynch is probably equally as lumbering, so I guess he could go with him. Maxwell to take the resting ruckman with a bit of assistance. Ideally you'd like O'Brien on LeCras, but he might have to go to Darling. Tarrant obviously takes Kennedy.

I don't think Goldsack is smart or strong enough to go with any of their tall forwards 1v1. I'd say you'd probably play him loose and have him trying chop out the other boys as much as possible. Or maybe have the more adept loose man, Maxy, fill that role and Goldy take NicNat?

Band aid cures all round. Hopefully it just wet enough to take their aerial ascendancy out of the equation.

Said it's a bit suspicious he isn't training with the forecast for tomorrow and Collingwoods silence on this topic is deafening.

They dont have room for silly questions, he is answering the serious stuff like the boys new " mo's or hair dos for the finals" seriously WTF

What do you expect? These are PR people. They're not familiar with dealing with actual information.

^ I didn't expect him to answer my question or post it.

I just reckon they are treating us like fools. We supporters are not that silly (contrary to the belief).

this is gonna hurt, remembering that tarrant isn't 100%

^^ yes, i was really looking forward to the game 10 minutes ago

Geez, huge loss. Flag made a lot harder to get now IMO.

OK so it'll be a little harder to win, let's just pray for rain & their talls won't factor in as much.

Come on folks, keep the faith, we didn't come this far to give up that easily...

Keefe in for Reid IMO, we have 3 power fwds to take care of, Keefe must play.

Can't he's not named as an emergency.

Its going to be real tough...

Full Back: hammy. Out.
Back pocket: coming back from hammy
Back Pocket: Coming back from 8 weeks off.
HBF: Coming back from broken hand.
CHB: Injured foot

Midfielder: Suspended.

CHF: Injured knee last week.


Anyone notice our backline is F*^ked...!?!??!?

This is going to be tough.
