Some serious problems with Grundy I think, watch him around the footy in the 3rd last week against the dogs and he either couldn't keep up or didn't have any heart in it. I called it last week just watching him behind the ball.

Think Marsh will play for sure, late change looks likely. Really shouldn't risk Frosty if he isn't 100% no point smashing a young kid to try and get him though a game. He will have a great future if he is developed and conditioned properly.

seriously how does Blair hold his spot?, he is no good and cant get form back because he dosent have any to start with. Surely Martin would be a better selection than Blair. I'm fuming about this decision. He can't jump to take a mark because he is so small, can't kick over 30m, why is he in the team?

Grundy has been struggling with back problems since he arrived at the Magpies last year. Hopefully, he'll be cherry ripe in September.

I think you're right Dave, scary considering he is only 20. Bit worrying when Luke Ball can run a game out better than you.

I don't get all the rubbishing of Blair.

Taylor copped it last week but Blair cops it every week. Just mystifies me. Why aren't you calling for swans head???

Even when Blair has a good match still his head is called for. Yeah he was quiet last week along side a bunch of other missing players.

I'm happy he's been selected again and hope he plays a blinder just to shove it up his critics proverbial.

Blair is in our bottom six players.

Swan isn't.

Hard to imagine Kennedy couldn't provide everything Blair does now if given the chance with much more potential upside in him.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

I think that's more likely. But I know SFA.

Donny wrote:Saturday. MCG. 2.10

Collingwood v. Hawthorn.

Selected team.

B: Marley Williams, Jack Frost, Alan Toovey
HB: Paul Seedsman, Lachlan Keeffe, Heritier Lumumba
C: Tim Broomhead, Brent Macaffer, Clinton Young
HF: Sam Dwyer, Jesse White, Luke Ball
F: Dane Swan, Travis Cloke, Jamie Elliott

Foll: Jarrod Witts, Dayne Beams, Scott Pendlebury

Int: Jarryd Blair, Taylor Adams, Josh Thomas, Tom Langdon

Emg: Brodie Grundy, Ben Kennedy, Jonathon Marsh

IN: Dayne Beams
OUT: Brodie Grundy (omitted)

Let's hear ya !!
I reckon Langdon will start instead of Harry and Harry will move to the wing with Young back to the bench.
I reckon also Kennedy will come in for Blair and Marsh is on stand by for Frosty.
Taylor Adams or Josh Thomas will most likely be sub.
Young will pinch hit from wing or back pocket. Give Seedsman some time on the ball at some time.
Broomheads run will be important for us.
