    Rd 8 vs Collingwood Magpies @ MCG - Match Thread

    Collingwood v Sydney at the MCG, 3.20pm AEST

    NO LATE CHANGES

    SUBSTITUTES
    Collingwood: Jack Ginnivan
    Sydney: Aaron Francis

    I'm surprised we are using Francis as the sub (and disappointed). I'm not a fan of using key position players as the sub.

    Yes, another perplexing match committee decision. You would think, and most teams do this, you would choose a tactical sub to give some extra run late in the game...

    We have made some strange decisions this year so far...

    On a cold wet windy day makes it an even dumber decision

    Also disappointed. I guess the thinking is that Francis can play as a key forward or back and if we're replacing a mid, Florent can move into the midfield, with Fox or Blakey playing on a smaller opponent, as suits.

    Seems a very strange decision re: the sub.

    Wet and a bit blustery at the G, but field looks good.

    Have very low expectations for today's game, but just hope we give it a red hot go. Need something to spark our season.

    It’s going to be a slugfest, there’s no logic behind it whatsoever

    You're up and running before the ball has been bounced

    Stevic and Foot umpiring...we are screwed!

    I'm also confused about Francis being the sub.

    Yes. I see this is the thinking too. He's slightly more mobile than McLean so that's the only way I see us getting quicker when using the sub.
