Pre Season SnapShot - Collingwood

HTM · December 30, 2010, 11:04:52 PM

COLLINGWOOD

Medical room: Alan Didak has been the only player on a more restricted program than the rest of his teammates; he has recovered well from surgery to reattach the pectoral muscle to the bone. He should be fit to play in the NAB Cup, although whether the coaches risk him remains to be seen. Nathan Brown has had shoulder surgery and will resume contact drills in early January, while big man John Ceglar is on a modified program as the club concentrates on increasing his body size.

Who's burning: Chris Tarrant testing results since arriving at the Westpac Centre have made him a standout. His results in Arizona were among the best at the club, both in endurance and strength. The developing Lachie Keeffe also appears to have taken some big steps on and off the field. The coaches have been impressed not only with the key position prospect's training but also his increased leadership.

Draftee watch: Andrew Krakouer was considered one of the coups of trade week when the Pies landed him. His WAFL form meant he was widely regarded the best-credentialed player outside the draft. Collingwood got its man, however Krakouer was unable to travel when the Pies later travelled to the US and there were some concerns he might fall behind the pack in his training. But the midfielder/forward has ticked every box

May have a different role than at the Dockers with the departure of Anthony and find himself changing the game by pinch hitting up forward when Cloke and Dawes can't get into it.
Very cheap.

That surgery for Didak will make it harder for me to pick him. Makes Sidey even more of a lock.

Swan & Krakouer at this stage.

can anyone tell me why there are a number of people keen on Sidebottom? I can see that he is an improving youngster, but a start of season lock?
