Sandringham sit in the eigth spot on the ladder (4 wins and 5 losses after 3 byes), while Collingwood sit at tenth (3 wins and 7 losses after 2 byes). A woeful percentage sees us sitting behind Box Hill, who are ninth.

Sandringham are aligned with St. Kilda. Poor Sandy...

Our VFL boys are likely to be bolstered by some serious ins this week. Ben Johnson, Brent Macaffer and Josh Thomas are all likely to return from injury. The return of Dane Swan and Dale Thomas will also see a couple of players taken out of the senior side and possibly return to the VFL. Players such as Alex Fasolo, John MacCarthy, Simon Buckley and Tyson Goldsack are all prospects, as is possibly Jarryd Blair.

It is also conceivable that, with Mumford's suspension, Darren Jolly might be held back from the Sydney trip, and return to the senior ranks via the VFL. However, it is more likely that Cameron Wood will make way for Jolly and return to the VFL.

Among our 2nd stringers, players like Luke Rounds, Tom Young and Lachlan Keefe are all possibilities to debut at AFL level, in line with Mick Malthouse's idea of having a squad of 30+ players ready to contest the finals. So they may be held over as emergencies or debutants for the Sydney match.

We need a win, a BIG win, to beef up our woeful percentage and to stay in touch with the rest of the comp. Our prospects will be made better with the inclusion of some serious firepower from the seniors.

I don't mind telling you, I am STARVING for some Magpie football after the bye, with no Collingwood matches being played at either AFL or VFL level. I wonder who thought that up when crafting the fixture...

Should be a good game. GO PIES!

No Ceglar. If Keefe travels to Sydney with the other emergencies, will Shae Mac be doing the bulk of the ruck to help manage Jolly's return to form?

And STILL no Josh Thomas...

Good to see MacAffer & Johnson back. Along with Jolly certainly gives the team some senior talent.

Be nice just to beat this mob due to associations...
