Well hopefully the rain and slippery conditions will negate their 4 talls.

Reid will be a great loss though, I'd rate his our second most important player re structure after Cloke. Just a rock in defence, and his contested marking for a backman is amazing.

Praying he's ok, but not looking promising.

Someone who usually gives me some good footy mail reckons the Ben Reid hammy rumours are likely to be 'bulls--t' #aflpieseagles
...apparently the source is the same bloke that led to the leaking of the Heater betting issue on Twitter.

"likely to be bulls**t". Not really reassuring. Fingers crossed

Lets not panic just yet. I will wait for the official word from the club.

If he has tightness then it would be a given that he would not train in heavy conditions. He will be assessed up until game time.

I don't feel like I am being treated as an Embicile??? Some of you seriously need to understand how things work. Just accept that the player management sits primarily with the Football Dept.
All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

I had that feeling last night, I am awaiting the club to make an announcement on him and not worry until then.

UPDATE: Waters said it is a slight groin tweak, but he should be okay for tomorrow.

Ok maybe he has some hamstring tightness or something else. He trained indoors. Its not conclusive yet. He's a very important player so they would take no unnecessary risks training outdoors if not needed. Friday's session is only a light one anyway.
Magpies love pies(Lol)

Hopefully some can stop stressing now, and we can look forward to feasting on Wet Toast tomorrow. :D

Ahh, who is Ben Wise ??? Believing his twitter as gospel is not much better than just taking rumours!

From Scott Watters presser after training: "We're hopeful Reid will be able to play but at this stage it's unlikely".

Whorks finished third with their best tall backs out and no roughead.

We are better than them, Reid or no Reid.

The Lad would like to see Reid run out but not stressed if he doesnt.

Side by Side ladies and gents- this is going to be a finals series for the ages.

Collingwood usually do well as underdog....this will fire up the playing group even more.
Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...

God I can't believe some of you people, talk about going to water.
Like I said, just wait & see who runs out tomorrow & worry about it then.
Panicking unecessarily does nothing.

I have faith in the CFC & besides, my daughter is going to the game tomorrow & she has not seen us lose for 2 years. She is a good omen!

The 2 games she missed this year, we lost.
And you're all welcome to come pat her on the head for good luck tomorrow, LOL!
WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

N.Y METS, N.Y GIANTS, PENRITH PANTHERS & HOBART HURRICANES FAN.

WE ALL LOOK GOOD AT TRAINING, IT'S THE MATCHES THAT COUNT!

Ghaaaaaa PP - If it is the case.....

Look for the another Brown to put up a remarkable effort in the finals down back - Bad, bad Leroy Brown!!! and Fasolo coming in to help Dawes and Cloke kick a bag!

Pies will have it covered!

Cheers

SEN said the opposite...or I completely misheard (or they didn't play the entire grab). Sorry folks!
