Where and when: SCG, 1:45pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R10 2020: Collingwood 6.14 (50) DEF Sydney 6.5 (41) at The Gabba.
Collingwood’s 6.14 (50) to 6.5 (41) win came at a cost, with Will Hoskin-Elliott (knee), Adam Treloar (hamstring) and Isaac Quaynor (lower leg) all suffering game-ending injuries. Josh Daicos finished with a career-high 25 disposals and almost 500m gained to be among the Pies’ best players, while Taylor Adams (29), Treloar (25) and Brayden Sier (23) ensured they won the contest battle. Jake Lloyd won a team-high 25 possessions in an ambushed Swans defence, while James Rowbottom (16 contested possessions, seven clearances) worked hard in the midfield.
Match Preview: The Pies did what they needed to last week to see off the Roos but will find Sydney at the SCG a much tougher assignment. The Swans took it up to the ladder-leading Dees but after falling short by 9, will be very much looking forward to hammering another nail in the Buckley coffin.
Motts Watch:
Sydney
Parker, Lloyd, and the Young Bloods
Collingwood
Pendles, Grundy, McCreary, and Moore

Thinking I should grab rookies on the bubble as who knows how many good rookies are left to come, and still need to generate cash for upgrades somehow….
TU – OUT: Berry & Rowe IN : Poulter & RCD
TD – conserve trades and wait until the byes to offload them
FINAL TEAMS | No late changes.
Medical subs.
James Bell (SYD) and Jack Madgen (COL)
Poulter 3 clangers 5 minutes in, lacking composure but amongst it at least.

Thank you, Lisa.
Grundy come on!
Gee, that idea of Darcy Cameron, even over Jeremy Cameron was so dumb.
Hey, mate, more power to you if you picked him and he scores great. It’s not for me, I understand he’s got a nice 3 round average but they’ve played Essendon, suns and north. 3 of his next 4 matches are against port, geelong and melbourne. Hes currently priced at 379k atm and even if he averages 80 from here which I doubt he will for the rest of the year it’s not gonna make cash and hed be an average midpricer. The snarky attitude doesn’t look great for you though mate so hope he’s good for you but wasn’t really needed.
Well said, Tom.
Snark goes both ways. I remember the snarky attitude I got when I said “you need to trade Lachie Neale out before he loses a heap of cash”.
Or when I said that Taylor Walker could be straight swapped in a couple of weeks for pretty much any forward.
Or that it was a good idea to drop an underperforming premium and a non playing rookie in a double trade for Jiath and Impey. Or that Hickey was a viable R2 before his injury, and looks to be so again. That Isaac Cumming was a viable D5 or D6. Or that Dustin Martin only scores two big scores before the byes and they are historically round 1 against an unready Carlton and Hawthorn. Or that we might actually have to consider Daniher and Ziebell and maybe even Taranto premiums in 2021.
Or the very unpopular notion during the preseason that Zac Williams was going to be constantly injured and score less as a midfielder than a defender.
Yeah, I’ve copped a LOT of snarky comments this year. Funnily, a lot of it has come from people much much further down in the rankings than me.
There’s a lot of people on here who have very preconceived ideas of what works and what doesn’t, such as “KPP’s don’t score” but then choosing the two biggest most expensive KPP’s in Gawn and Grundy with their first two picks 🙂
But mostly based on an era of the expansion teams when there were rookies to burn and you could start with 12 uber premiums and 18 cows, when there was no sub rule.
But also because of player past history at different clubs in different roles, or emotional attachment to those players.
So yeah, if me throwing up one name, to start a debate is going to be seen as a big deal, you’d better also include the other “crazy” stuff I’ve done so people can make a fair judgement of whether those debates are worthwhile.
If making people think at SCT is going to make me a pantomime villain, so be it. Put me in a top hat and I’ll twirl my mustache and laugh maniacally for the rest of the season whenever I can be bothered.
So fair warning, if named I’m bringing another midpricer in for round 10. Jesse Hogan.
I might be bringing in a second one too, but I’ll need to check my bye structure.
How bout now?
He still scored MORE in a team that nearly had it’s scored doubled than Jeremy Cameron who was in a side which got an easy victory.
So yeah, still stand by it as far as throwing up an option to another player that they could choose to accept or reject.
Not that I chose to trade him in. I brought in Zorko and Poulter this week.
Next week it will probably be two midpricers.
Half Time – and a goalless one for the Pies – Pies 4.4.28 lead the Swans 4.3.27. Grundy as a VC not scoring as coaches would have hoped.

some decent changes on key players and nice bump up on rookie poulter!
Thank you Macca, for the updated scores.
This broken system needs fixing urgently.
