Collingwood v GWS Giants
Sunday 24th February 19
Morwell Recreation Reserve, 2:05pm (ADST)

The Pies hit the road and travel to Morwell tomorrow for their game against the Giants.

Giants will be favourites, especially as the Pies will be without their best player so far, Ash Brazill. Braz out due to a concussion from last week.

Emma Grant & Kristy Stratton come back in for some much needed experience.

Not looking good, 4 goals down, yet to score 1st qtr.

We just don't have the physical profile to compete, we look too short, a bit slow and not imposing enough. Our girls unfortunately look way out of their depth. Dare I say it, but we look a bit too butch imho.

Improved 2nd quarter - Pies kicked 2.1 to 1 behind.

Upped their kicking efficiency and tackle count has been better than the Giants in both quarters.

I dont think they can win a game this season.

Improved after qtr time, but they let the Giants kick too big a lead to peg back.
