I love that, this is our last hitout, don't hold back now.

What is wrong with krak/fas?

 

[Pera]

Please no injuries!

 

[THATSGOLD]

Can't see any of the names below playing Round 1.
Still no Krakouer.
Other notables missing.
Fasolo
Didak
D. Thomas.
Reid

Who probably isn't in contention for round 1 now.
Kennedy
Paine.
Martin.
J.Thomas

 

[mattys123]

It seems we have chosen a squad of players who will all be in consideration for round 1, meaning the likes of Krakouer, Thomas, Didak etc are next to no chance of playing round 1.

Krakouer is the interesting one, haven't heard anything negative about him for a while, maybe the club just thinks he isn't fit enough for our best 22-25 yet.

 

[SnakePlisskin]

Please no injuries!

Don't say that word.

 

[Rusty22]

We'll get heaps of injuries friday.
*reverse psycology*
why do we always get injuries i dont understand?

 

[76woodenspooners]

Fair to say that Kyle Martin has been evicted from the Big Brother house as far as a pre-season rookie promotion goes?

Hudson hasn't been selected either, but surely that's because his name has already been penned in?

So it's down to Frost, Mooney or Dwyer for that last spot?

 

[SpongePie]

So it's down to Frost, Mooney or Dwyer for that last spot?

Interesting to see who gets it. Do we go the much needed forward pace, or the Presti type defender, or another Mid.
Personally I'd be leaning toward Frost. Allowing Harry to move up the ground, maybe playing off the wing.

 

[mattys123]

I count 23 senior players in that squad, and if you take out Clarke and Witts from the round one side, and add in Ben Reid, you just about have our round 1 team.

Jamie Elliott looks almost certain to play round 1 now.

 

[Pies_10]

Worried about Fasolo, his never been on the injury list ( as far as I know) and hasn't played at all this preseason.

 

[Rusty22]

Fasolos in a bad way
Will there be a live chat of this match on the cfc website?

 

[TradeDraft]

Strong squad named.

Be Good Game to Watch. Better then the NAB CUP GF

 

[the mighty T]

Now that's a strong side. Hope we come out all guns blazing

Fasolos in a bad way

Any other details on this?

It said on the collingwood website Hudson is only a likely chance to be promoted, not certain.

Also said the other rookie spot was basically down to Frost Dywer and Mooney (if hudson gets one too)

I would love to promote Mooney and Frost, then play Hudson if jolly or witts gets an LTI

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

We've named a strong side too so should be a good hit out. Good to see the Pies come down the highway for a change!

Good luck for the year as well. I reckon you guys will be the team to beat.

When was the last time anybody saw Krak at the club?
Or even a picture of him being down there?

All the Swan crap has covered up a massive case of dejavu...
He left after the First NAB game.
Hopefully he's back soon if not already.

Not sure what the issue was this time.

Pretty sure Krak was seen laughing in the background of the video showing Beams getting his head shaved at the Westpac Centre, late last week.

 

[Hardas]

Don't say that word.

OK - no injuries!!

 

[Hardas]

Now that's a strong side. Hope we come out all guns blazing



Any other details on this?

Will be interesting to see who's named for the VFL game, won't it.

 

[Salty]

I hope so! We need him in the team!
Much prefer him over Sinclair..

 

[Pera]

Two years in a row we seem to have players underdone heading into round 1. And we have heard nothing.

The start of the year is going to be tough, so we need close to full strength to stay ahead of the pack.

Refer to the previous page. BEEG saw him putting in extra training on Friday last week. Absolutely nothing sinister going on with Krakouer except eating all the pies....

I am going Friday Evening

It's amazing. You look st the number and strength of the 'ins' and stil remember that your list is still not named (and add Ball to that list as well)... There are stilll 6 of our very best players not playing this week (and who will probably miss the first few rounds of the year).
