NAB Cup round 2: Tigers vs Pies

[Ramps]

Based on who was left in the main group at training today I would take a guess and say the following rough changes for the Collingwood game:

IN:
Cousins
Vickery
Thursfield
McMahon
JON
Johnson (maybe)

OUT:
Hughes
Silvester
Post
Collins

I wouldnt drop Post, Id rather see Post play than JON.

dont' see hughes getting dropped.
talk is that terry says it suits richo more if he has a week on, week off, so we could see him rested this week.

hence i'd say post and hughes both ought to be playing.

I don't want Post dropped either but I was just passing on who was in which group at training. It seems Post is staying in the team for Thursday so it'll be good to see how he, Vickery and Rance all go. The Pies are taking the NAB Cup seriously.

Sounds like we'll have more cubs in the team this week. You could be right about Richo peggles. He only trained for a short while. The main thing is to have our best side fresh and ready to go for round 1 as much as it would be great to beat the Pies and boost memberships even more.

[WA Tiger]

Yep the Pies are going in with a full strength side and we are taking youth in, it will be interesting to see if the press call our side this week "strong" or "our best side" just because Cus is playing!!

Id like to see Rance start on a wing. His a big unit but his a fit kid. Id play him there for the 1st quarter, hopefully he'll get the footy afew times and his confidence will grow. Giving kids confidence early is important for there development. Vickery should play up forward, hopefully he can kick a couple of goals and give himself some confidence as well.

The Collingwood rucks aren't much chop so they may give Ty some time in the ruck as well as up forward. He's got the leap and his tapwork is pretty good for an 18 year old.

Hey fellas

Just wanted to confirm to you all that Post is not playing this thursday. Says it is due to rotating the likes of Rance and Ty into the team. Also Conners will be back in the team next week

Ch 10 news showed David King watching Collingwood training yesterday.

Rance is filling out very nicely and has apparently put on a cm or 2 to be 194 according to a few die hard black ducks.  Could be a big unit the a big engine.

I was told today there's going to be 9 changes.

Cousins, Jordie, Sugar, Rance, JON, Thomson and Vickery I believe are seven of them. Gilligan could be another as he stayed behind at training to do some goalkicking. Not sure who the ninth one is. Maybe Kingy I'm guessing.


Out:
Hughes - in rehab today
Post - they were pleased with what they saw in Perth and know he can play.

I haven't seen too much to get excited in over Hughes and have concerns over his ability to make it as a KPP forward, but I think it is important to find out by playing him as much as possible before the season proper starts.

In my mind I am starting to pencil Schulz in there.

Thompson may be interesting.

I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on him
