Taking into account injuries from my team I would replace Licuria with Lonie, Adkins with L Davis, N Davis with Lane, Clement with Kinnear and Betheras with Scotland ..........

Yes ok paulf-but i think Neon leon needs some more time in the 2s
he has to put on some muscle, he has got the talent but has to read the play a bit better..

i have to admit it's the first time i've seen someone put wazza in their best team (apart from me). very interesting. i agree entirely.

I agree wazza is a very good player and carries the ball beautifully so to speak,when this guy becomes injury free and gets a little confidence back he will be a servicable player for collingwood he can be very dangerous in midfield so good luck wazza i hope you kick arse mate.

FOOTNOTE
Some time ago on here i was bagged by others cause i thought wazza was a good player and i mentioned that in his first year with the pies which i think was 98 or 99 he was picking up high possesions for collingwood i was told by a paticular person whose name now escapes me that maybe i was dreaming well then i went on a search through all my collingwood stuff to try and find stats on wazza i was spewin cause i couldn't find anything to back me up BUT a couple of weeks ago i spoke to wazza after training and yes i was right in some games wazza was picking up 25 possessions in midfield which proves when the guy is travelling ok he can be a very good player.

Can you guys foresee any changes to the team this week ?

When does Williamstown start playing ? How can the fringe players push for a spot if they aren't even playing.

PaulF · Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2001 12:06 pm

I've got to admit Foxy and Joffa that I'm a bit worried about Wazza's constant injury problems and his lack of development since he first played two or three years ago. I remember seeing him pick up possession after possession, streaming out of the back line a couple of years ago against Carlton (the game Bucks had his jaw broken) and I went away thinking this guy could be anything, however that seems to me about the last good game he has played. Whether it be injuries, lack of confidence, whatever, I think he is probably on his last chance. I hope he proves me wrong .......

Nick Davis has to come in for Freeborn / Ukovic. And what about Leon for some spark at ground level?

The original team Paul F posted sounded pretty good, but just two changes:
1. Replace Rocca with Holland
2. Replace Didak or Burns with Lonie - he's a gun.
