Rumour Central: Grand Final Countdown-Thursday

Posted by Roy on 26/8/10 • Categorised as Teams

With trades down and coaches trying to put a full squad together for the big grand final, there are a few nervous people out there. With nerves, comes research in the form of looking through all the websites, listening to the radio stations and watching all the news channels. So, this post has the potential to be an awesome central location for everything we hear in the news re: rested players etc. If you hear anything, cut and paste the following so we can push though until team selection, completely in the know (cut and past Internet sources- reference newspapers and news outlets etc.). I understand this will potentially be an avenue for losers to try and be funny, which will mean we wont continue such posts.

From The Collingwood website ….

WHAT THE PIES SAY
“Three changes, I reckon they (the selectors) will [make this week] … I know there is a few blokes that are a little bit sore, so I think that the only smart thing to do would be to give them a little break and make sure they get their injuries right and ready for round one of the finals.”

- Darren Jolly predicts the number of changes to his side against Hawthorn

Didak??
Thomas??
Swan??

hmmm …..

    Beat me to it.
    
    I’d be very happy if it was Swan but I reckon Daisy Dids and Brown are it

I also have 2 trades left. With Hodge, Didak & Watson out. Hodge has the best cover in Kennelly, however I am $4k short of getting in Goodes & Montagna.

So I will go IN: Stevie J & Montagna OUT: Didak & Watson

The bloodshed has actually helped me as my opponent has no trades left.

As for captain, am thinking keep the faith with Swannie.
