+1 I had these as my selection changes then decided I'd look through other suggestions and found Frankie has nailed it.

If White is unavailable, I'd play Witts and sub him (perfect scenario would be early in the 3rd quarter) and play Kennedy.

Out: Sidey, Maxy, Adams, Witts
In: Swan, Dwyer, Ball, Grundy

I would have had PK in this week if he didn't cop a hammy!

Quite a few changes but we don't lose too much except for Maxy's strong leadership down back!
I prefer this... although Frankie did Ok also! :shock:
Love us or Hate us... we are Collingwood - you can't ignore the Mighty Magpies!!!

^^Agree. If Ball's back, Adams is out, unless one of them is the sub.

Dwyer or Kennedy also a chance if Goldsack is moved back to cover for the loss of Maxwell.
Well done boys!

If White is out you'd play Witts with the plan to sub him early in the 3rd? Really? You think we should leave Cloke as our only tall forward and Grundy unsupported in the ruck against Jamar and Gawn? Really?

We are! :lol:

But seriously, every week other teams get up for us. That's the problem.

Dawes's stats from the Pies vs Melbourne game last year... 0 goals, 1 behind, 4 disposals, 4 kicks, 3 marks, 1 tackle.

Dawes is playing better this year though.

Really don't understand this irrational desire to play Kennedy and Martin at the expense of Blair and Adams. Blair stays without doubt. Adams gets another gig on the back of his hard work against St Schoolgirl. He butchered it by foot sure, but he is clean by hand and that after all is his stock in trade; great inside, hard over the ball and very brave. Adams needs to get a few consecutive games and if he then still can't exhibit some composure then OK, give Kennedy or Dwyer his spot, but Martin is a long way behind in my opinion.
Out: Sidebottom, Maxwell & White (inj)
In: Ball, Swan, Grundy
After the epic draw comes the decisive knockout!
Collingwood rules the world again and Mick Malthouse fulfils his destiny with the twenty ten premiership and can you hear the people sing!

^^^ I think he means the guy with the scary hair-cut wearing H's number. I didn't recognise him in the pre-game warm-up, either.

Not sure if someone has answered this already.

He is a rookie listed player. He would need to be upgraded to get a game. This may happen so due to the Round 11 rule which allows the upgrade of a rookie without an LTI.

We haven't been able to upgrade him because IIRC, it would have forced Frost out (he is also a rookie listed player).
