It wouldn't matter who Collingwood brought in for this week. We will get absolutely smashed by Richmond. The current crop of players just aren't up to it. For goodness sakes one game out of seven does not even begin to describe it.

True, I think you will find the paper work has been lodged today to elevate Fanning for the injured Rocca.

i dont think davidson is back from injury yet maybe i dunno. Who cares we need him. Knobel aint flash either. Fannings first game was against luke darcy, maybe we rated his game a bit harshly considering his competition. He is probably more agile around the ground than knobel

Knobels not flash but according to his Stats he still gets the ball to his players. Being flashy doesn't always win you games.

true but id prefer knobel rucking than stafford or as Fanning has already encountered, Luke Darcy. Saints obviously didnt find him much use as they got rid of him even though their ruck situation was pretty dire. They still struggle in the ruck yet were more than happy to delist him. Shows a lot to me.

In: King, Swann, Fanning, Egan, Presti, Johnson, C. Cloke

H. Shaw not in

Outs as mentioned previously

Pies by 5 goals. Richo to crack the shits when the cheer squad wave tissues at him again.

Get down to the ground and show those low bitchmond dogs what real supporters do when their team is against the wall.

You are right. Your sounding like MM.
There are 17 other positions that matter on the feild as well. The problems are broader than just the ruck. What if they play Simmonds in the Ruck? They have too many options.

nah your right strav, im not saying fanning will win his spot by no means. Im just saying we probably judged him harshly but he played up against one of the better ruckman in the league. Stafford out gives us a chance. I personally prefer fanning in than cloke and walker. they have rucked galantly but the fact is they have not won their spot once this year. Glad fanning is in.
