It would be ironic if it was washed out !

Half a millions bucks for lights for your footy oval seems a tad extravagant for a town forced to "tightent its belt" - they could have kept a 100 shearers drunk for a fortnight with that sort of money.

The whole thing stinks of spin.

A few temporary measures have been required. On Friday night, Collingwood will change in the nearby basketball centre while the Swans use the two rooms beneath the grandstand.

... as it should be.
Hope the heavens open, just as the wobbles start making their way to the ground.

Depends on what they are getting the shearers drunk with. $1000 of Krug doesn't keep a shearer drunk as long as $1000 of moonshine made from corn mash.

Sydney: Barry Hall, Nick Davis, Jarrad McVeigh, Ben Matthews, Ryan O'Keefe, Craig Bolton, Nick Malceski, Peter Everitt, Nic Fosdike, Darren Jolly, Jesse White, Michael O'Loughlin, Jude Bolton, Ted Richards, Sean Dempster, Jonathan Simpkin, Brett Kirk, Amon Buchanan, Jarred Moore, Tim Schmidt, Adam Goodes, Luke Vogels, Paul Bevan, Sam Rowe, Simon Phillips, Kieren Jack.

I found this on a Collingwood site but there's no reason to assume it is not accurate.

The squad is starting to get trimmed down as the senior players return. The youngsters who are left have to be those in with a chance of an early season game. The only one missing of any note is probably Laidlaw - the likes of Thornton, Brabazon, Smith and Faulks are clearly a long way from senior football.

Kennelly and Barry are also missing as shadowed earlier this week.

Details now posted on Swans' website.

Roos' comments pretty much confirm that none of Crouch, Ablett or Schneider will be available for round 1.

Will Collingwood be able to cope with the travelling thats involved with getting to Narrandera ?- I mean its about an hour or so from Wagga - that means the school bus! they aren't used to travelling such distances.

I'm surprised that they agreed to play at all.... Afterall, they only travel about three times a year don't they??? And one of them is the end of season trip to Bali....

Can you say that going over the River Murray is like going overseas?
