Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Saturday 8th May, 4:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Rd 13, 2020: Collingwood 10.5 (65) def North 5.5 (35) at the GABBA.
Lead by Anderson, Simpkin and McDonald, the Roos were excellent until half-time, level pegging with the Pies. Unfortunately, Pendles decided he’d had enough after the main break with 11 possessions and 1 goal in the third quarter paving the way for the Pies to overrun the Kangas.
Match Preview: You know what? I only just realised that the Pies are second last! Is it wrong that I may have chuckled a bit when I sighted the ladder? The Kangaroos have improved in recent weeks and this seems their best chance to chalk-up their elusive first victory for the season. And if they do, Bucks might finally receive his marching orders.
Thommo Watch:
I think I speak for everyone when I say, “We love you Tom Powell!”Collingwood
We are running out of forwards so I settled for Steele Sidebottom and I still feel unhappy with that decision!
VC on Grundy or Gawn tonight (Captain choice tomorrow of either Macrae or Walsh). Would normally throw the Captain on Gawn but a bit concerned after last week.

69 vs 76 at half time. Nothing in it.
Had the v on Ziebell all week….put it on gawn at last moment. No kahunas.
I had Merritt vc Ziebell C or Grundy
Went Grundy and Macrae
Same got cold feet
I got vc on ziebell I can only hope
I knew that Moore would go hard back in his spot, cheap pick up next week
Hahahahaha, that’s the worst decision of the year lol
Zeibell and Grundy VC good option made both scoring well
Started Neale over Grundy & had Martin at R2. Reversed that tonite [via Danger] plus the VC on Grundy. Team looks so much better.

Murphy done for the night? What’s happened
Head clash, concussion 🙁
Too bad, he was playing well
you have to be effing kidding me … and I just traded him in for this game to avoid the donut … SC this year just sucks …
damn bought in Murphy last min and his subbed off hope he can still get a game when he comes back!
He’ll be straight back in once he recovers.
Looked good out there, was also on track for a nice 70-80 score 🙁
McCreery just struggles to get his hands on the ball doesn’t he … have noticed the last couple of games so many balls slip through his hands …
What does everyone think – is Grundy’s score getting into the space of taking his VC?? Currently on 115 … would hope he gets to 130 …
hmm, taking Grundy hope the scaling kicks in after the Gawn game starts. Poor form SC.
Supercoach hurry up and calculate Grundy score before Melbourne game starts
Aaron hall .. viable pick or is this guy gnna pull a hammy or tweak his ancle anytime soon ..
