Reid & Witts Playing seconds footy Saturday night.

Reckon both clubs will really want to win this one, though both will try to be nonchalant about it.

Happy to see Ramsay get another crack. Likewise Patty K.

So who has gone out of the squad from the last game?

[Pies4shaw]

^^^^ According to the official Collingwood site, only Oxley is missing from the team that played Hawthorn. It's a 29 player squad, so presumably a few more come out before the match (I can't remember how many players are allowed in this tiddlywinks version of the game).

[swoop42]

^Cheers.

Looking over the squad it wasn't obvious to me who had been omitted.

I think the final team might be 26 players or something.

[didick]

3 to be withdrawn before the game.

[jackcass]

29 listed, is it still 26 +2 round 2 of NAB? Or 24 +2 and 3 emergencies?

strong side. I'd expect a few of Steele, White, Gault, Grundy, Ramsay, De Goey & Elliott to come out prior to kick-off. With Reid, Witts and Seedsman still on the sidelines, we're building towards having solid and game fit picks in every position come round 1.

While it'll be good to see our kids again I'm also keen to get a first hand look at a couple of the Carlton kids, in particular

9. Patrick Cripps
12. Blaine Boekhorst,
15. Sam Docherty
18. Kristian Jaksch
22. Jason Tutt
25. Clem Smith
31. Matthew Dick
38. Ciaran Byrne

They've bet the house on Boekhorst
