I'm more worried about Kent than Weideman. Weideman's work rate is there & you can see he is presenting to the ball, crashing packs where possible & also doing things at ground level. Kent has looked pretty poor today from watching on TV anyway. Can anyone at the ground comment on Kent's work rate off the ball?

The team as shown on Channel 7 before the game. Spencer was named in the centre but I've switched him into the ruck.

B Munro Hutchins Collis
HB Wagner Keilty White

I/C Fritsch Gent Hulett Lewis-Smith Moncrieff 

Free to Dion Johnstone followed by a 50 metre penalty makes it a 27 point lead.

Fritsch passes to Jack Trengove who goals.

fantastic spot up by fritsch to trenners for the goal

Cox played really well in the first half and now is in his jumper - looks like he is being held over for Monday...

Collingwood goals through a lucky kick off the ground.

is mayne playing for the pies? barely sighted

Downfield free and goal brings the Pies back to 23 points.

Mayne was, JKH is now in his tracksuit as well for Monday. 

jkh the carryover for us; in tracksuit on the pine

Only watched the 3rd quarter so far but Weiderman has been good. Crashed into a few packs, buried a bloke in a tackle, took a good contested mark on the lead, few taps out of the ruck, hit up a target inside 50 to setup a shot at goal, grabbed the ball out of a pack and just missed a snap at goal. He's building in confidence. With more strength, conditioning and confidence he will be a good player long term for us, I'm sure of that. 

Shocking quality game, disposal efficiency less than 50% from both teams at present due to it just being a rolling scrum for large periods. Wagner has far more class than anyone else out there. Only one who can evade and get a kick off among the scrums. JKH off in the tracksuit now, no injury but they're saving him for Queens Bday if needed.

Few other of our AFL listed not doing much. Kent just jogging around, Stretch can't get near it, Keilty losing nearly every contest he gets near, Hulett puts decent physical pressure on with tackling but has horrible skills, missed every kick I've seen him try so far. 

Casey should be able to hold on from here and build more form and consistency.

Another free and a goal to Mayne makes it three in a row to Collingwood and its now 3 goals the difference.

Encouraged to hear the reports of the Weid's application and endeavour.  That's all you can really ask of any young, developing player.  If he keeps the work rate up, his form will turn around.

Wagner who has been best on the ground goals on the run.

Why did Wagner get dropped again?

Tim Smith done for the day - icing his ankle.

The Weed finally gets a goal and the lead is back out to 31 points.

No wonder Wagner was allegedly looking dejected at training - he was solid vs Gold Coast and hes a class above VFL level.

What's the feeling over there about losing to Bangladesh in the cricket?

Pretty bummed out - the worst part is we played well against Aussie and the match got rained out and since then we have been shite.

Stretch gets it off a pack and snaps a great goal.

Channel 7 bought the vhs Sony handy cam to broadcast today's game. Facebook live would be better quality

the commentary on the vfl is classic maguire media coverage - just all 'pies just need the first couple of goals and they'll be right in it'
