Trivia:
- This will be the fourth time that the Collingwood and Essendon VFL teams have clashed in an ANZAC Day weekend match.

- Following on from that, this will be the first time Collingwood and Essendon have clashed in an ANZAC Day weekend match in this competition at Victoria Park since Round 6 of 2000.

- However, in a quirk of history, this will actually be the second time that Collingwood has hosted an ANZAC Day weekend clash at Victoria Park since 2000, having hosted an ANZAC Day weekend match in Round 3 of 2010 which was against Essendon’s VFL affiliate of the time, the Bendigo Bombers.

Over to you...

[roar]

Damn it, I'll be away.

[MagpieBat]

Forgot to add, but I've updated my OP with some new broadcast info pertaining to replays, both television and online...

[John Wren]

about 1.2 to 1.5gb.

[MagpieBat]

Yeah, so pretty steep.

Collingwood Radio probably the better bet. Or just hitting refresh every 30 seconds on the phone in this thread...

[roar]

No reception where I'll be so I will simply re-live the experience by jumping onto this thread when I get home.

I would have liked to have gone to the game, though.

Late news, but the squad is out, including the AFL extended bench, which will be trimmed on Saturday at 4pm...

B 21. T Phillips 6. T Goldsack 14. J Aish
HB 37. B Maynard 41. T Golds 17. J Marsh
C 39. B Crocker 27. M Goodyear 8. T Langdon
HF 38. J Howe 9. J White 11. J Blair
F 3. B MacAffer 33. R Wills 40. J Smith
R 47. D Wyatt 2. J De Goey 29. T Broomhead
Int 62. L Ferguson 74. J Viola 61. N Gray 67. M Smith 35. B Sier 60. J Kelly 53. J Hellier 54. J Collopy 57. A Close 58. B Moloney 65. L Howe 71. A Rambaldi
23P 70. M Hore

Marsh, Macaffer, Goodyear, Goldsack, Maynard, Ferguson and Close all big ins. White comes in as well, just in case anyone cares...

Rambaldi in for his first potential run as VFL Pie, good luck to him. Hore back for his second stint as our 23rd player.

After 4 outs for the seniors and a carry-over, should come in at 14 AFL-listers...
