"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

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?

Good point. It will determine my level of drunkeness.

Terrible planning. You need to find a better wolf pack.

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.

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'

Might well be time for a great escape Steve

Howe on the pre-game banging on about the Pies exciting young list...(and his running ability and a move to the wing).

MFCSS has me backing him for the first goal at $14.

Lay off Mr Potato. He's your friend and mine.

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.

[frankie_d 1,471]

They are fast and tall. I don't think we match up well and I'm worried. Plenty of Dees support here...

[Ted Lasso 19,334]

Word is a few of the pies blokes aren't feeling great with the flu, some pulled out but some are playing! pretty handy.

[Wilson7 2,663]

Demons by 35

The filth hit by the flu this week. 

[Ted Lasso 19,334]

Dees by 41 Jesse to kick 6

Waiting for Demonland to crash like it always does during Game Days.

That's what happens when you smoke out of the same bong.

We need a good start, so badly.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Mythbusters needs to do an episode on Watts' first game (and that tackle).

[Maple Demon 449]

They just had to say that Cloke has only kicked 3 goals this season. Thanks. Now he'll kick 3 by half time.
