Round 9 - Collingwood vs Bendigo at Victoria Park

[MagpieBat]

^ That's what I would like to know.

3 ruckmen with a 4-man bench is a dicey proposition. Throw in 4-5 KPP talls, and we have top-heavyness problems...

^ The prospective 23rd man has to be named on the Thursday night when the teams are submitted, hence the presence of the asterix when one is named. There is technically no requirement to play him when you have named him in the inital squad, but it is pretty much a certainity that he will if he is named.

Hence, the lack of an asterix in our named squad means we will be taking a 22 man team in tomorrow.

i think tarks is more focussed on getting our afl listed players game time so when they step into the afl side the player knows his role and is match fit, we will be seeing that today expect taz to spend alot of time on ground, and maybe also elliott and williams (due to swan injury).

Looking forward to the Coverage MB, you should do Twitter as well. Not asking much lol

Go Pies!!!

Ricardo to play a blinder as Mum and Dad are watching the other son today. It's normally what happens.

I'm not on Twitter actually, can't really see the attraction. 140 character tweets are not conducive to considered discussion.

But you have me here.

Good luck to Ricardo. You think he might be a chance at the draft this year, Culprit?

[MagpieBat]

Final team is in:

Collingwood
B: Trent Stubbs, Corey Gault, Tom Young
HB: Kris Pendlebury, Chris Tarrant, Mitch Hahn
C: Shae McNamara, Jamie Elliott, Caolan Mooney

^ Oh, no doubt, Twitter is very easy if you are at the local footy and you want score updates.

Something to mull over. I guess I could always use Twitter just to update scores and discuss the more cerbral topics the old fashioned way.

But you would lose my gold-standard commentary...

[Culprit]

Well 5 minutes away, I'm ready for the quality commentary today.

[MagpieBat]

^ Happy to provide it.

Collingwood will be patriotic and magnificent today. Bendigo, by contrast, will be <expletives deleted>...

[Culprit]

I will update you on South Croydon v East Burwood

[MagpieBat]

^ Excellent. Always good to have around the grounds scores...
