It seems there is absolutely no stopping the Pies if the results of practice matches in the last few weeks are anything to go by. If the Magpies can retain their winning form throughout the entire season, they will most certainly give the competition a run for their money.
Collingwood defeated the Swans by 44 points on Saturday in Canberra, following up an earlier win by the reserves on Thursday, who beat North Ballarat by 48 points. For full match details and comments, visit <http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/FootballNews/football_news21.htm>.
You can also catch an exclusive glimpse into the rooms after the game to see the players wind down after their win <http://www/collingwoodfc.com.au/FootballNews/football_news22.htm>

And you thought these guys just played footy!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Collingwood Family Day last Sunday at Jock McHale Stadium. A great day was had by all at the club, and hopefully all supporters as well. Over the next week, we will have some video footage and pictures of the day up on the website.

Don't forget to keep sending in your Quiz Questions. Each week we will be publishing a series of Collingwood based trivia questions to test your Magpie knowledge, and the following week, will have the answers on display to see how good you are. So send your questions, along with the answers, to magpies@sportsview.com.au <mailto:magpies@sportsview.com.au> and keep your eye on the website to see when they're published.

Watching the Pies on the field every week sometimes lets us forget how much work goes into making the Collingwood Football Club what it is. The truth is, an incredible team effort goes into making sure everything runs smoothly, not only on match days, but throughout the entire year. Inside the Magpies gives you an exclusive look behind the scenes and introduces you to a new member of the great Collingwood family every week. This week, meet Collingwood's Head of Conditioning Noel Duncan, and find out exactly how much work goes into getting the team prepared to take on the competition at their fittest. <http://www.collingwood.com.au/InsideMagpies/InsideMagpies.htm>.

That's all for this week. Make sure to keep your eye on the Magpies website each day for the latest Collingwood news updated as it happens.
