"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?

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' :(

Might well be time for a great escape Steve

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.

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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
