anyone willing to do a match preview for the website??

Once upon of time a bloke carrying a collarbone injury would not have returned early against a Collingwood team. Shows just how soft we are. Bet he'd give it another week if we were the Lions.

Says exactly where we are at.
our senior players either start looking out for our kids or our kids shouldn't play, I'm sick of seeing our kids getting bashed every week without anyone flying the flag, we play like a team of champions (not that we are), not like a champion team.

According to the Aged newspaper, we're considering putting Cam Cloke on the injured list, getting his shoulder surgery and promoting harry O'Brien from the rookie list.

Interesting considering I saw C2 on the news this week saying he wouldn't get the surgery til the end of the season.

Also suggests that C3 will be omitted basically for a rest which I agree with wholeheartedly.

I wonder who will step up at CHF then ? Looks like its going to be Matty Lokan!

Rumour is Andrew Williams will be holding the team board at quarter time.

Outs:
T Cloke (inj - hip)
Caracella (inj - groin)
Rowe (supersoftcock)

In:
Didak
C Cloke (if fit and not having surgery)
Rusling

I wouldn't mind a look at O'Brien if C2 goes under the knife. Also think that Davidson, B Morrison and the Shaw's should be given an opportunity at senior level this season.

Hall and Cole should be retained at senior level for the remainder of the year. What have we got to lose?

Steve I have done 2/3 of it.

The Age reports today that Harry O is a BIG chance to come in. Puts paid to the ideas that we can't promote rookies at this stage of the year.

Bloody harsh on Rowe, jackcass!

Harry O'Brien may be called up as Collingwood looks to make selection changes after last Friday's loss.

Collingwood's reaction to its listless performance against Essendon last Friday night is likely to produce as many as five selection changes tonight and has given rise to the idea of promoting rookie Heritier, or Harry, O'Brien for the remainder of the season.

With only five victories for the season and little more than 2006 to prepare for, the Magpies are expected to elevate O'Brien for Cameron Cloke, who faces shoulder surgery and is likely to be placed on the long-term injury list.

"We're certainly considering that," Collingwood football manager Neil Balme said last night.

"The paper work hasn't been submitted, but we think Cam will have surgery and will be eligible to go on to the injury list, thereby creating a position on the list for Harry. Whether he plays this week or not we're not sure."

I wonder if Davis will be taken at Didak's expense? Nah, not with all the focus on him this week. I'd like to see him on the whole game though.

Probably is harsh J26 but I am fast running out of patience with this kid. Soft is the only thing he has done consistently week in, week out.

I think they will unfortunately drop Swan for coming up late to training. I think Rowe was gone anyway.

Out: Rowe, Swan, Caracella (inj), T Cloke (inj), Hall
In: Didak, Woey, Yakka, Obrien, Rusling

Caracella did not look injured at training today and i doubt he will be out.

T Cloke and Rowe look like they will miss. Rowe did not train and T Cloke did nothing to prove he was fit enough to play. No chance of Cam coming in as he didnt train. Yakka, O'Brien and Woey would all have to be big chances
