Sounds like Macrae isn’t playing VFL today, so I guess he’s the sub.

Some think its going to be the warmest day since the 1990 Grand final for a collingwood essendon match.

Good to get the win today at VP in the vfl.

Who thinks we kind of play similar brand type of footy like that of the Brisbane lions circa 2001-2003.

I do.

And guess what we have Fly who played in all of those premierships too.

Some say we are same style and brand of footy like the lions of 2001-2003.

We will win anzac day.

Keep the pressure up and the rewards and opportunity will come.

Each of Macrae, Ruscoe and Will Kelly missing from the VFL today, presumably held over til Tuesday. Krueger picked in the media today. No word on the others yet.

Carmichael had a good game today including 3 goals and a great snack from the Daicos pocket. McInnes and Murley both kicked late goals in the come from behind win at Vic Park. Ed Allan some good moves again.

Increasingly confident about this one.

I think Kreuger will cause havoc up forward- not in the sense of kicking goals, but bringing the ball to ground where Ginnivan, Hill, Elliott and McCreery can go to work.

Frampton must be very aggressive at the man in ruck contests and work very hard defensively when Phillips and Draper roll forward; would be nice if Jordy could give a masterclass in the guts. I am expecting Crisp will return to his B&F form on Tuesday- his gut-running is critical in the big games.

Go Pies.

As in pre match venues before the match where do you go.

Also where abouts in the MCG is your favourite areas to watch the footy.

Mines behind the goals at the city end under neath the rafters ground deck and up at the standing room area.

If we are well and truly winning the match easy ill float down the other end to see the opposition supporters and their reactions of us winning or about to win.

other then that i like top deck on the mcc members stand side like 4th level.

Yep i agree WL Kruger to do the same job as mcstay and have some presence in the forward line.

Attendance 98k

Anyone know when the team announcement is happening?

You’d think they would have announced it by now,wouldn’t you?It’s only two days before the game now,and no team has been announced,not even an extended squad.

Extreme delay in announcement of team selection. What's the hold up? Are we waiting until Essendon releases theirs? But what if they are waiting for us?

I suppose it's possible it could be tomorrow evening. Not sure what the standard approach is for end of round Tuesday/Wednesday games, but during COVID I think it was usually night before, right?

Yeah, looks like it will be tomorrow evening.
I just rewatched Fly's presser, and he said something about a decision being made in the next 24 hours. I couldn't exactly make out what the question was, but seems now to confirm that teams won't be released tonight.
