Preview 2023 Round 9 – Collingwood vs GWS Giants, Sunday, May 14, 4.40PM AEST, MCG

[Giant Strides]

Toby is clearly still touch and go I reckon. No one out yet but a few names in


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Extra names are standard for a Sunday game, though. Sub comes out, 4 get added to extended bench (or, as is the case here, sub retained + 3 extra) until tomorrow night when "final" team is announced.

Hopefully just Toby for Lloyd who
Pushes back to sub. Real shot at the pies with that team

is struggling with an infection in his elbow and is in some doubt to lead the Magpies in their clash with GWS. The star defender failed to join Collingwood's main session on Friday and will rest up before Sunday's match against the Giants at the MCG. Magpies coach Craig McRae

is hopeful Moore's health will keep improving during the next two days. "Unfortunately Darcy got an infection in his elbow early in the week, sort of almost like a spider bite, but it's not, it's a scratch that got infected," McRae said on Friday.

So that's both teams' skippers in doubt!

Collingwood v Greater Western Sydney at the MCG, 4.40pm AEST

COLLINGWOOD

In: T.Bianco, T.Ruscoe, R.McInnes, A.Begg
Out: B.Frampton (groin)

Last week's sub: Jack Ginnivan

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

In: T.Greene, J.Riccardi, C.Fleeton
Out: None

Last week's sub: James Peatling

Hmmm, still no Fahey, Angwin & Toby named on field ... minor possibility that Fleeton replaces Brown in the backline. Cadman could yet be dropped, essentially for Toby to return.

Perryman, Cadman, Peatling and XO would be the pick of the bunch from the bench I imagine. Feel pretty confident the other 3 will be picked but maybe they give Cadman another go and keep persisting with him as well.

Accounting for Greene returning to last week's team, the opening premise would be: Perryman, Cadman, XOH & Brown. Peatling sub, and Lloyd left out. We could switch out Cadman for a small/medium (Peatling or Lloyd). If Brown's out, then I'd expect Fleeton to debut or Riccardi to be picked down back, unless they decide to counter Collingwood's smaller Pies' forwards by switching Peatling to defence (but Brown could be played in a smaller role too).

 

[Gigantic]

Fleeton to debut.

 

[Colonial]

Congrats to Cameron, hard work paying off.

 

[Hendo_21]

Fleeton to debut.

That's awesome, good for him he's really grinded away in the 2s for a few years now. Gets his chance on the MCG, super cool.

 

[Giant Strides]

Always good to see the passion and enthusiasm when the boys get around a debutant. Good luck, Fleety!

It’s definitely a great thing the young guys are getting games that they have rightly earned …. Seems we are starting to bat a little deeper

 

[BarryAglett]

Fleeton to debut.

Good video even though I was distracted watching Kingers holding the soccer ball in one hand.

 

[Giant Strides]

Team announced - no Toby, Ward drops back to sub & now Cumming is out injured. Lloyd, Peatling, Brown, Angwin all retained; plus Fleeton to debut.

No Toby

What happened to Cumming - do we know how long he is out for?

[Brave New World]

Fleeton to debut.

I wrote of this some time ago when Cam was first recruited but will mention it again. GWS deserve special praise here. Cam's junior club was Geelong West/St Peter's which used the colours red/white/blue (some old hands may remember Geelong West as a power club in the former VFA). More recently during a reorganisation and due to a connection to Dave Matthews when he was with Barwon VFL, Geelong West adopted and has kept the Giant's colours and moniker. Further, the young boys from Geelong were once a year hosted on a match day in Sydney where they saw the training facilities, were given lectures and had match day access etc. The Geelong West lads and parents paid to fly up for the day but GWS were always generous with their time, a meal and effort. Cam was a part of this. Kudos to GWS and a fitting reward for all concerned.

 

[Giant Pete]

I think the Pies might be too quick across the park for us. Hopefully we show strong commitment for the 4 quarters.
It’s not about this week… it’s about building on our gamestyle and giving young players good opportunities.
Guys like Fleeton, Angwin, Callaghan, Cadman, Peatling, OHalloran and Brown.

 

[Cameron_Jezza]

Great to see Cadman play on the MCG.
Will have lots of family/friends there.

 

[Orange Agent]

I hope Hill doesn't kick a goal, no doubt he has rehearsed some rubbish celebration all week just for the occasion.

sI hope Hill doesn't kick a goal, no doubt he has rehearsed some rubbish celebration all week just for the occasion.

Wish nothing but the best for him after what he has had to go through. BUT
That doesn't take away from his cry baby antics before all that happened when he wanted out because the Giants wanted to see how he returned after another off season after some average efforts over the years. Hope he gets zip against us.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Hill’s having his milestone 50th game against us tomorrow. Hope it’s memorable but still want us to win!

Cancer and two trade requests: WA ace’s tough journey to 50

Collingwood small forward Bobby Hill's 50th AFL game will come against GWS, the club he left during the 2022 trade period.

The afl site says Ward out (Sub) but Peatling was the sub last week. Is this a simple error or a sign that Ward is this week’s sub?

 

[BarryAglett]

Yep, Ward is listed as sub according to our club website Two Changes for Magpies Clash

 

[Giant Strides]

The afl site says Ward out (Sub) but Peatling was the sub last week. Is this a simple error or a sign that Ward is this week’s sub?

Yep, we've just done what a couple of coaches (Dimma, Bevo) have complained about wanting to do, and just moved Ward from on field to sub role.

 

[Spacedog]

Any ideas on whether Bedford will keep getting mid time?
