Full strength in terms of personnel. But not as a side. We won't be at our best for the rest of this year. Not enough continuity. We'll just have to hope we reach a level good enough to win it. On today's performance, we're not quite there yet.

Bucks said he would have played if the game were two days later. In other words, the usual spiel come finals time. The same was said of Presti in last year's prelim.

yeah, Larkins was in the rooms when he said it and he said Reid was walking around no problems. I know it dont mean much however he would be breaking a story if it was worse and he didnt seem to preoccupied with it

Defence was superb today but I was still very uncomfortable everytime they bombed it in. I've got no doubt we'll be much better with Reid back. I just hope he's right for the GF if we get through

On the 5th Qtr Ralph Malph says Collingwoodfc insists it is a groin but he thinks it's a 2-3cm tear in the hammy so 21 days and he will be touch and go for Preliminary. Anyone else heard this rumor?

Seriously, how would a newspaper know the size of the tear? Did they sit in with the collingwood doctors? Assuming a player has a certain type of injury is one thing, but predicting the extent of the injury is just guess work.

Does anyone know the training schedule for this week? I'm keen to see whether Reidy trains, and if he does, how freely he's moving.
I'd love to go into the prelim with our first best 22 side in God knows how long.

Give him time. |
Quite happy with my foresight here.  |
not one for grand statements, i think reid will be all-australian in the next few years. |
this makes me happy.

Underestimating our players again. AA in the next few years? Try next year.

I'm glad your not director of recruiting!!!!!!
Todays Age has Tarrant quoted to say 2010 to be his last year (I just read the headline). So you'd swap a potential 10 year player for a washed up forward, come back flanker with 1 and a bit years left in him. I'm a Tarrant fan (the CFC version), but now glad we did what we did in 2006.
pffft. Reid is almost equivilant to a first year draftee KPP. FFS, He's done more than Jack Watts in 2009.
Jezz, I'm gunna love bringing this thread back in two years time to see so many of you eat your words!!!!
How can so many experts be wrong about this kid. So many of the coaches at CFC think this kid will be good. So many commentators of VFL & AFL say they reckon this kid has got the stuff to make it. |
Lol. Kind of ironic re: the Tarrant comments.
