Is Starcevich any chance of making it into the AFL?

[Pies4shaw]

Well, that's that then, DTM.

[Pies4shaw]

Every time I go there it is freezing cold with wind.
I think we have lost every time I went.
Still I like the position next to the beach.
Always hot food with a beer to be had.
So it is football in winter

Must be the coldest place to attend footy anywhere in Victoria.

Have you been to Casey? It's a serious question - I went there a couple of years back and it was so cold, I lost feeling in my eyes.

[Jezza]

No, I've never been P4S.

However, I've heard from others it's really cold down that way as well.

Trivia:
- Collingwood have never won a game at Point Gellibrand Oval. In seven attempts across two incarnations in this hybrid competition (2000 and since 2008), the Magpies have visited the Williamstown Cricket Ground and come away empty-handed every single time, with an average losing margin of 43.3 points. Owing to the vagaries of fixturing, however, this will be the first time Collingwood has played at Williamstown since Round 16 of 2015.

Over to you...

Well thank you. That's mighty impressive work MB. Thanks for your hard work providing the detail and links. Collingwood should be employing you at a decent salary.

[MagpieBat]

They couldn't afford me, Jim...

[RudeBoy]

In light of Dunn's injury, I'd love to see Rupert Wills play a lot of the game at CHF, to see if he could replace Mihocek, who will most likely be required to play at FB.

I don't think McLarty is ready for the seniors just yet.

[Pies4shaw]

They couldn't afford me, Jim...

Well, perhaps they could recruit you as a mature-age mid/half-forward - they seem to have endless money for that.

[MagpieBat]

Pies have won the toss, we'll kick to the City End, which is usually the end favoured by the wind in these games.

We've never conquered Fort Gellibrand. Not a single damn time. Today is a good day for that streak to end.

LET'S GO!

[MagpieBat]

Cavarra gets the first of the game with a blind snap that goes through...

0-6

[Pies4shaw]

Now that's a really stupid place for a TV camera at a footy ground.

[MagpieBat]

Couple of behinds Willy...

0-8

[MagpieBat]

Touched behind to them...

0-9

[MagpieBat]

Willy dominant early in the term, they add a second goal over the back of the pack...

0-15
