Quite possible. After he was out positioned in the goal square by a bloke half his size last week, this would not be a surprise at all.

Team doesn't look too bad on paper. Better than I expected.
I think we have to play hard for Warnock at the end of this year. He isn't a certainty to star at Carlton, seeing their two rucks are dominating and are young.
Go after him I say!
Woods done at Collingwood, I believe. With 2 or 3 LTI, why are we not considering elevating!?
I know we have young blokes to ruck, but hell we need somebody with some experience too. I believe Jolly is almost cooked.

I watched Witts and Ceglar the other week and I was impressed with both (even though Witts was only used up forward). The raw talent is there but they're both a fair bit away from being ready for the ones.
Warnock would be a great fit actually. He biiig,mobile and has some talent. He forced Hampson out last year and was the number 1 ruckman for a large slab of the year and would waltz into our starting 18 at the moment.
At least Collingwood would be poaching someone from Carlton for a change.

My initial thought when I saw the team was "Well that's the end of Cam Wood", but I think we are planning to rest Jolly on ANZAC day.
If the game against Carlton proved one thing (apart from fans do leave early  ) it proved that Wood and Jolly can never play in the same team, they are both number one rucks who can not play support roles.

Spot on.
This is the worst Collingwood side on paper I've seen since 1999. Our only hope is that the inclusions all play their hearts out. With no Heater or Daisy, there's not much run in our team at all. We will now be very lucky to beat Port. I can't see us beating Essendon now without Daisy or Heater.

If Johnno goes down with an injury, there is NO run out of the back line whatsoever. We've lost hardness in the middle and speed.

That says we have no confidence in Jolls. If they omitted Jolly to get him ready for Essendon, that would be different.
I think Wood has played his last game for Collingwood.

^^I just think we realised playing two first rucks is dumb. We only tried it last week because we were worried about Carlton's rucks.

Surely Wood is being held back for Wednesday. He wasnt so bad last year when he rucked alone.

Carlton offered Warnock a reported $400,000 a season to leave Freo & join them. We could not offer anywhere near that. Not unless Jolly retired.

I wouldn't jump the gun on Woody. We won't know the thinking until we play a couple of more sides with decent ruck combos. It might be horses for courses given the opponents or still experimental at this stage.
