Where and When: GABBA, Thursday 6 August at 5:40pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Collingwood 11.14 (80) def Sydney 11.7 (73) at the SCG
What it means for Collingwood: After two losses in WA, the Pies are looking a bit shakey in tenth position at 4.5 wins, 4.5 losses. Losing today means losing touch with the top 8, something they will want to avoid in a shortened season.
What it means for Sydney: Not much really. Although they are technically in the hunt for a top 8 spot, the Swans are a young side and have few external expectations on them so only pride will push them to win this one.
Supercoach Watch: Pies: Few people own him, but Adam Treloar is getting it done as is Taylor Adams. Grundy has had a quietish patch but loves playing Sydney.
Swans: For the Swans, Lloyd should be in your backline but otherwise there is not a lot of SC relevance in Sydney unless you’re getting creative with Parker, Dawson or perhaps Rampe.
Thommo Watch: It’s boring, my eye is on Grundy who will be my captain this week in the hopes he can pump out a monster score.
Thommo’s Tip: Pies by 24 points.

No Late Changes to either team.
Let’s see how much I end up regretting choosing Gawn over Grundy as Captain – I changed it about 10 times before last nights game. Should have just thrown it on Clarrie – hindsight is a wonderful thing! Hoping my boys (Magpies) can turn around their lackluster form of the past couple of games and enjoy a BIG win!
Ditto for me Lisa, to make it worse I swapped Neale for Dusty vc just before that game as well.
What’s everyone’s scores at the moment?
I’m 1705 from 14 with Neale as captain
Trying to gauge what might be average scores this week
Hey, I’m on track for 2100 with 19. Close’s 31 to drop out. Had an ok round so far, Clarry covering some average scores.
I’m on 1567 from 16 – Neale as Capt after VC Macrae (post above re. Grundy/Gawn was for my Tech Team). Still have Grundy, Treloar, Noble, D Smith, Whitfield, Ridley to come. 3 scores to drop off will be the donut in the backline with McPherson not being named, plus at this stage, Close 31 & Starc 45.
Hoping for a few more 100’s…..a double ton from Treloar would be awesome.
Will do half time & end of game scores.
Alex Neal-Bullen, Melbourne, has been charged with Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackle) against Will Hamill, Adelaide Crows.
He has been referred directly to the Tribunal and cannot accept an early plea.
Apologies to Huttabito who had already posted this in MRO Rd10.
I wasn’t concentrating, watching game.
Adams going at 12% in the first quarter =[ could have been absolute huge!
how the heck does he get 42 points out of 4 kicks, 4 handballs, 1 tackle and 6 CP’s then??? 12% DE means only 1 possession was accurate … scoring is just rubbish
Psst, hey Macca, what’s your secret????
You actually get to “talk” to the Missus!?!?
Some poor bastards just get to listen!!!!! LOL
Lol
Hey Macca.
I just reread the SC “Points Scoring”
They score 4 point’s for both a Hard ball get , and a loose ball get.
If you touch it, and it doesn’t go directly to the oppo.
You score 4 points.
Eg. A defender gathers the ball near the line. He is forced over for a ball in.
4 points.
No kick, No hand ball.
Hard / loose ball get.
The most underrated stat in SuperCoach.
That’s recorded as a CP.
yeah, there’s some stats that we just dont see but its not these scores (maybe something else) … it’s still “iffy” often with scoring. And also I’ve noted this year that the scoring system is hyped up in the first quarter … and if players get awarded at high DE early, their scores get scaled up well and they maintain that (unless absolute clangers etc later) and conversely if they go poor early, they struggle to get rewarded higher later as the scaling has eaten away the scoring already … it much bigger this year with the shorter quarters … the key for us, you want players that have high DE history of getting the ball well in contested possies AND using it well early in matches … more so than other years … another dimension to this year …
This game is just silly. Swans have had 3 scoring shots.
Half Time – Swans 5.0.30 lead Pies 2.10.22 – I have no words. 12 scoring shots to 5 in a frustrating first half, and easily leading the contested possessions but just can’t get the ball through the big sticks. Hoskin-Elliott looks done for the night with a leg injury and Maynard with a sore shoulder as well. Both 1st gamers in Ruscoe & Wicks with a goal each. Hoping for a more productive 2nd half.

Lloyd is being sat on the bench a lot this game – only 75% TOG ATM … after killing it first quarter … Swannies need to keep him out there
Coaches maybe trying to manage their squads like Cats last night managing Duncan TOG as well … and Dangermouse up forward a lot …
Treloar down into the rooms with the physio. Was jogging ok, so hope nothing arises from this
Maybe a hammy, according to Alastair lynch
Treloar yet to return as the 4th term starts. Not looking good
Grundy big 3rd
3/4 Time – Magpies lead by 9 points
Top scorers for each side :

Treloar 102 (spent the last 6+ mins down in the rooms – unsure of injury concern)

Holding the ball rule is stuffed.
Always hard to pay when you’ve got players standing in front of you blocking your view.
String for Treloar?
Quaynor is done now and could be for weeks
Injuries for Collingwood! that sucks
Cmon Grundy
Get 170
Full Time – Rippa goal from DAICOS at the death sees the Pies win a brave game by 9 points, with only one fit player left on the bench. Quaynor off on a stretcher in the final term with a leg injury, Treloar possibly pinged a hammy in in the 3rd tem and Hoskin-Elliott with a bruised bone in the first qtr.

Thanks Lisa
Treloar never again list!!!
You mean he isn’t on it already ? He’s a member of my NA club along with T Greene, Fyfe, Jelly. I know I will miss some big scores, but I’ll sleep well.
Adam Treloar injured his hamstring tonight.
Nathan Buckley said it “is a minor hamstring at this stage. You’d be looking at 3-4 weeks. We’ll await further information from our medical team.”
