Fun Facts:
- Collingwood has not beaten Coburg since Round 12 of 2010, the only time the Magpies have beaten the Tigers since returning to the competition in 2008.

- This is the 5th consecutive year since 2008 that Collingwood and Coburg will have only a single encounter in the home and away season.

- This will be the first time Coburg has played on the glorious surrounds of Victoria Park since the ground began hosting VFL matches again in 2010.

NOTE: This game is scheduled to finish at approximately the same time as the AFL game against the Bulldogs is scheduled to begin (4:40pm). The game is, however, being broadcast on both analogue and digital radio (see broadcast guide above for details), so fans who leave Victoria Park early will still be able to keep in touch with proceedings while en route to Docklands.

Over to you...

Keeffe, Young, Russell, and Krak all named. A sign of things to come with players returning from injury.

And Hartley on the bench.

Also, I notice that there is no Ben Richmond in the side.

No great loss, given his recent form. But I do wonder if now they might finally give Gault a run up forward now that Hartley is back to take that key defensive position?

VERY strong line up, regardless of who misses

so many big ins

just missing Benny J now and ramsay

[MagpieBat]

^ And Goldy too, you'd reckon. After missing six weeks or so, he'll probably need a run or two back at this level before he can come back to the seniors.

And suddenly, we have depth again...

[jackcass]

Wonder if they'll give Hudo a rest and play Witts & Grundy as the 2 rucks with an occasional chop out from Gault?
