Game Day NAB Challenge - Collingwood vs Western Bulldogs (Etihad - 1.10pm)

[jefffff34]

Strangely enough this is our only trip to the stadium Eddie wants to demolish until July 22nd and then we play 3 of our next 5 games there.

So not much to gain in terms of getting used to the ground today.

I want to see us run with our top class midfield rotation for at least a small period today. Just for 15-20 minutes to see how powerful it is when all together.

Well it has similar dimensions to the SCG...

So good Practice for RD 1

 

[Wayne Arnold]

I was thinking the same thing. What gives?

Played two full games, most of our mids will only play two games out of the three. Was great last week so I expect him to play round 1.

Could also have been sick and best to rest him.

 

[Antz]

Guess we don't want the Same Thing Happening Today to Greenwood

True Dave however I think that he is an important part of our midfield. Would love to have seen how he would have gone with Treloar, Adams, Pendlebury, De Goey etc in the side as well.

Might have been affected by the rumoured bug a bit worse than others?

Just looked at the team (in OP) and missing one ginormous sized Cox.
WTF!!! Last praccie FFS.
We have big cox, why not show him off?

Saving him for round 1

If you have a cox that big you need to have it out on display as much as possible. Poor form by collingwood

No need for tickets even for members. Can scan straight in

It will be interesting to see whether Toovey, Greenwood, and Oxley are being rested or whether they'll play in the VFL.

I say Greenwood and Toovey won't play VFL but Oxley might

Lolz spitting image of Dave in Doggies outfit laying into me about Bucks

 

[Bard]

Does anyone remember if you can bring food into Etohad now?

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Kind of excited. A nothing game but I guess in one way it's exciting to see a dry run with a 95% team against great opposition. If we play like last 2 weeks it will be a joy to watch and there's no real heartache involved in a loss.

Looking to see some improvement in backline rebound and pressure today.

 

[Bard]

Also with Campbell being their ownly ruck Witts needs to absolutely murder him to keep his spot for next week.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I forgot to allow extra time for the trams. Will miss the first 5-10 minutes

 

[Mkcaptain]

Can someone please tell Treloar to not get a touch till I get there?

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Treloar to get one touch in the first 15 minutes? Don't undersell him that much Mkcaptain.

They are off the field now. Doggies doing the warm up.

 

[TradeDraft]

Just Walking to ground now

Might do a Dangerfield and get the first kick of the game
