The Run Home:
Box Hill - Collingwood (H), Casey (H)
Collingwood - Box Hill (A), Footscray (A)
The Stakes and the Scenarios:
Collingwood
- If Collingwood win or draw and Casey win, the Magpies will remain in 2nd, guarantee themselves a place in the top 2 and earn the right to a home Qualifying Final.
- If Collingwood win and Casey lose or draw, the Magpies will ascend to 1st, guarantee themselves a place in the top 2, earn the right to a home Qualifying Final and sit either a game or half a game clear of the Scorpions, with the results of Round 21 to decide the minor premiership.
- If Collingwood lose and Williamstown win, the Magpies will slip to 3rd, with the results of Round 21 to decide 2nd place.
- If Collingwood lose and Williamstown lose, the Magpies will remain in 2nd, guaranteed of a place in the top 2 and earn the right to a home Qualifying Final, with the results of Round 21 to decide 1st and 2nd place.
Box Hill
- If Box Hill win and Essendon win, the Hawks will sit a game outside the 8 in 9th, with the results of Round 21 to decide 8th place.
- If Box Hill win and Essendon lose, the Hawks will rise to 8th, with the results of Round 21 to decide 8th place.
- If Box Hill lose and Essendon win, the Hawks will finish Round 20 two games out of the top 8 and will be out of finals contention.
- If Box Hill lose and Essendon lose, the Hawks will finish Round 20 a game behind Essendon in 9th place and will need to beat Casey and rely on Essendon losing in Round 21 to finish in 8th place.
Trivia:
- Collingwood have won their last 3 encounters with Box Hill, but they haven't traveled to Box Hill City Oval since Round 13 of 2013. The result that day was the beginning of this particular winning streak, with the Magpies prevailing by 7 points.
- Following on from that, the Magpies have had a particular knack of lining up with a high profile senior player in their team in each of these last 3 wins over the Hawks. In 2013, it was Dayne Beams on return from a three month quad injury. In 2014, Luke Ball was demoted to the VFL as his career wound down to a close. And in 2015, Ben Reid played for the VFL Magpies in the middle of (yet another) comeback from persistent soft-tissue complaints. Will Travis Cloke continue the streak on Saturday...?
Note:
- This match will form the first act of a Saturday afternoon and evening double-header of Collingwood football. The VFL match will finish at approximately 3:30pm, leaving Magpie fans intent of viewing both games live just under 4 hours to commute between venues before the first bounce in the AFL at 7:25pm.
- There will be a curtain-raiser played beforehand, in the VFL Women's competition between the Eastern Devils and Diamond Creek, which will feature Collingwood women's team football manager and player Meg Hutchins playing for the Devils. Game begins at 10am and will finish at approximately 12:15pm.
Milestone:
Lachlan Wallace - 50 games

Good guess. Not a fan, ever. Don't understand the backstory, never watched the cartoons, basically NFI at the attraction.
Now if we were talking Dragon Ball Z or the classics such as marine boy or speed racer, then I'm on board _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Another OP update: this week marks a milestone for another VFL-listed stalwart in Lachlan Wallace, who is set to play his 50th VFL game (49th as a Magpie, after just 1 game as a Dolphin).
Has missed most of the season with a foot injury and only played his first game back last week, in which I thought he was adequate enough. Still a heck of high stakes clash to come into with such little footy under your belt, though.
Well done, young fella. Play well. And get the win... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Team's in...
Box Hill v Collingwood
VFL Round 20
Saturday 20 August 2016
Box Hill City Oval, 1pm
Collingwood
B: Alan Toovey, Jack Frost, Matthew Smith
HB: Tim Golds, Jordan Kelly, Ryan Pendlebury
C: Marley Williams, Brent Macaffer, Jordan Collopy
HF: Travis Cloke, Darrean Wyatt, Corey Gault
F: Nick Gray, Jarrod Witts, Lachlan Ferguson
Foll: Mason Cox, Gus Borthwick, Matthew Goodyear
Int (from): Lachlan Wallace, Jack Hellier, Ash Close, Ben Moloney, Cal Matheson, Lachlan Howe, Dale Hinkley, Adrian Indovino, Lachlan Tardrew (23rd man)
Captain Jack returns, and just in the nick of time, with a golden ticket up for grabs.
Gus Borthwick named, after staggering off in pain with a wrist complaint late in the match against Port.
Cox returns from injury without another tall omission, so it's going to be interesting to see just how they juggle such a tall lineup.
One of Cloke, Williams or Macaffer will, you would think, play a first half at most and then head over to Docklands on standby, which complicates things further... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Just as a matter on interest, Andrew Tardrew from Sandhust in Bendigo (23rd man) is a brilliant youngster who has big wraps in him. I work with a few who know him as a player and rate him extremely highly. _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine! |

I've only ever been to watch the VFL at Vic Park but I'm going tomorrow. It's close to home and it might be my last chance to see Trav in the black and white. _________________ #TEAMBUCKS

Well, he was nothing short of spectacular in the second half last week, so enjoy! By the way, Bucks just said to Rohan Connoly on SEN that Cloke is still contracted and a required player - in other words, you really had better go this week! |
