Collingwood to rest players against Brisbane

[Cruiseon]

I just put this in the Collingwood thread but it's probably more relevant here.

There is no indication of whom might be rested this week but from a team persepctive Pendles is due, perhaps Ball or even one or two of the younger guys. From a SC view I hope it's not Pendles but it would make sense. I doubt Jolly, Thomas, or Swan are candidates. Cloke also probably unlikely.

"Malthouse flagged as many as four changes for Saturday night's game against the Brisbane Lions at the MCG, but would not speculate on who would go in and out, other than Maxwell."

Thoughts?

mick won his supercoach final i take it?

Surely he's not that Cocky and would rest two premium players in the one game.
I feel that if i were the coach Pendles and L Brown would be rested, then the week after, Ball and Fasolo. therefore resting that mix of better and worse players.

L Brown and Ball would be my guess, give Keefe and Buckley another crack.

+1

I did too so feel free to give Pendles a break this week Mick

Not sure if you saw it, but I posted in the dream team section that Pendles and Ball have gone to Byron. I would put them in the big chance to be rested basket.

[Cruiseon]

38% of the poll picking Pendles - that could be a SC disaster, not least combined with Geelong's bye.

Mick better not rest pendles  >:(
Or Swanny for that matter...

[Windigo]

Pendles maybe.....But Swan will run out this week end. Already had his little break.  ;)

[coolfugitiv0]

Pendles not in Brownlow contention anymore?

[Crowbot_85]

Guys, lets get serious here. If Mick was going to rest Pendles or any stars it will be next week against Fremantle. What will be better for the body, missing a home game at the G or travelling across the country side to Perth? Pendles will play this Saturday night.

My mate who is on the GOld Coast at the moment text me on Monday night saying he saw Dane Swan at Dreamworld during the day. I wonder what that means.
