Richmond v Collingwood

[LondonTiger]

I liked the way we trained today so I've got a funny feeling about tomorrow night but now that I've said it I've probably mozzed us  .

Any chance you can get on a plane and head O/S - we play well when you're not in the country 

  

Something tells me even that wouldn't help us this year 

So you mean I can come back now?

I don't know if this is true but some Pie supporter posted on their forum that on the radio they said 55,000 tickets have been sold so expect a crowd of 75,000  .

3AW said Jack was out, SEN said Simmo was out.

Both said Howat was in.

Go figure.

Go figure.

Any confirmation from either station?

BF saying Simmo is out due to a virus.

Fraser is out too for the Pies.

Go figure.

Howat?!?!

You'd think Krak would suit the conditions better.

Howat?!?!

You'd think Krak would suit the conditions better.

I was thinking the same thing wayne. A slow track with lots of congested footy to slow the game down would suit Krak with his skills.

SEN repeated that Simmo is out. Has a virus and was having trouble breathing so is in hospital  .

Tigers ruckman ruled out of Pies clash
The Age
August 10, 2007 - 5:04PM

Richmond ruckman Troy Simmonds has pulled out of tonight's AFL clash with Collingwood at the MCG because of a virus which has put him in hospital.

The club said Simmonds had been suffering from a virus which had affected his breathing and was hospitalised last night.

But the Tigers said Simmonds' problem was believed to be a short-term one.

"He entered hospital last night as a precautionary measure to undergo some medical testing," the club said in a statement today.

"The club will give an update on Troy's health when it has the result of those tests, but expects this is only a short-term problem."

It is the latest setback for Simmonds, who missed the start of the season with a broken ankle and has managed just 10 matches for the struggling Tigers this season.
