"COLLINGWOOD is facing a fine after it was forced to make a late change from outside its emergencies for Sunday's clash against Melbourne at the MCG.

The Magpies withdrew defender Tyson Goldsack because of illness and replaced the 28-year-old with forward-turned-backman Jesse White, who was not named in the initial 25-man squad.

The AFL confirmed Collingwood would be sanctioned for the late change.

White, 28, will line up for his first appearance of the season against the Demons.

The Magpies' emergencies for the match are American import Mason Cox, Matthew Goodyear and Brent Macaffer. 

Final terms will be confirmed 90 minutes before the opening bounce."

 

Should not be allowed. What's the point of emergencies if clubs do this?

What's the point of having a 40 player list if you can't pick any player you want at anytime before the match?  It not like the game had already started.  Named emergancies is really pretty pointless

I will know within the first 10 minutes of the game what the result will be. Both from our tackling intensity and the umpiring.

Best of luck to Jayden Hunt. Hope we get to see him with his afterburners on streaming through the middle.

Unfortunately I have to go to a wedding that starts half way through the game. I've set up Foxtel Go on my phone so will be sneaking off to the toilet quite often to watch the game. Depending on how we go will probably determine how much I drink.

Well you'll end up drunk either way.

What do you mean you "have" to go? Is it your wedding?

Collingwood loosing Goldsack is probably a win for us, thought bringing in white at the last minute may change the dynamics of who plays on who due to his extra height.

Well we're about to push back and depart for Perf so the game will be done and dusted by the time I land - hopefully to a positive result. Have set Foxtel to record also but have since learnt Tree Fu Tom and MKR have been left on series link recording for the whole week so might not have enough memory space to fit the game in.

A divorce may be on the cards the way this is shaping up. :mad:

I'm not sure which of those two is the worst!

At least you don't have to keep turning the volume up to drown out the annoying sounds of 'Peppa Pig goes to Potato City' :(

Just saw that Hodge is part of the commentary team for the game. I am not a huge fan of having players currently on an AFL list as part of a telecast team. Just get that feeling that they could be potentially biased and/or not entirely forthright in their opinions.  Others may like it, but that is just my opinion.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
