The second Robbo said he was looking forward to playing Collingwood I got the feeling we were focusing on some games more than others. Because Robbo said this in his interview after the FREO game 5 weeks ago!

Interesting to see Duigan dropped. Being in the leadership group and all I thought Mick might have persisted a bit longer. It's a shame Duigs hasn't been able to match the levels he reached in his debut season. Hope he can get back there.

Hope Laidler plays as well as we all expect him to and that he remains injury free.

So did I cb. Very interesting, but at the same time refreshing I reckon.

Not a fan but while he's in he's got an opportunity to perform a role. Just needs his team mates support and to do the very basics well with no errors.

Does anyone know about a live feed of this match?

It will not be shown on AustraliaNetwork in Singapore and I still have not managed to get the new afltv.afl.com.au paid stream to work on any of my computers (mac or windows) tablets or phones!

Yep, agreed.

No favourites. Yet. :lol:

Marcus Davies...Good lord...

Please make me eat my words

An improvement on Duigan (although that's not saying much)...better we get games into he, Boots etc rather than wasting time with guys not up to AFL standard.

How far have Duig's stocks fallen :eek:

Let's hope he takes it as a rocket and fires up. The message had to be given though.

27° forecast for Sunday

If we're right in it at 3 qtr time there really shouldn't be any excuses with an extra 3 days rest.

All the moe reason to hit them really hard early and make them earn every possie. The game could/should open up for us late.

Yeah I remember hearing that statement and thought there is so much more football to be played before the Collingwood.

Winning the centre clearances is so crucial in the way the game is played today, lets hope we can at least break even. If not our defence wii crumble with the pressure.

Mine works fine on all the above. You can only use it once you are outside the country so if you have tried it before you go it won't work.
I don't mean this to be offensive but are you clicking the right buttons??? I find it easy to use. Wait until the 'LIVE' button comes up and just click it and voila. I did have problems logging in this season and had to open a new account.

Good luck, otherwise PM Jimmae and he might have a better way of getting in. He seems to know everything and is always my first port of call for every problem I have here.

Do I need to buy a ticket for this game as a member? Or is it walk up?

Not sure, but suspect you'd need to arrive quite early.

@MCG Gates open 1pm AEST for @CollingwoodFC v @CarltonFC. Match starts 3.20pm. Public tickets will NOT be on sale at gates. #AFLPiesBlues @AFL

Due to my arrival time in Melbourne for the Richmond game I just went straight to the ground and I suspect the gates had been open for less than 30 minutes. It was easy enough to get a seat in the Ponsford Stand.

I thought it was sold out

I wasn't going to the game today as it's my Birthday and I didn't want to risk ruining it if we had a bad day....

Well, my lovely wife bought us some tickets as a surprise, so I'm off for lunch in the City and the G for the arvo. Great day for footy - let's just hope the "good" Carlton turn up today and give me a Birthday present I won't forget.

I know, a little bit selfish, but I don't care!! ;-)

Seems completely sold out. Unless you're membership includes a reserved seat for away games it looks like you're out of luck.

Blueboy · **Posted:** Sun Apr 07, 2013 10:43 am

Happy Birthday Mil, I hope you get all your birthday wishes

So does that mean one would be foolish not to take up Sportsbet's offer of having your first bet refunded, that is if at least 90 000 turn up?

I see the maximum bet is $100.

Stephen Gough in todays paper says max capacity for h&a is 95k, and no shows are usually 7k or so. Might be borderline.
