MAGPIE RADIO > Rnd10 Pie NightCollingwood goes into Saturday’s round 10 clash with West Coast at the MCG unchanged.
Coach Mick Malthouse has stuck with the 22 that performed so brilliantly in crushing reigning premier Geelong by 86 points at the MCG in round nine.
The emergencies for the match are midfielder Ryan Cook, running defender Shannon Cox and key forward Ben Reid, with all three having performed strongly for the Collingwood VFL team across the season.
By beating the Cats last week the Magpies improved their record to five wins and four losses for the season, and sit seventh on the ladder, while the Eagles, who are coming off a comprehensive 50-point trouncing of Adelaide, are 13th with two wins and seven losses.
The last time Collingwood met West Coast was in the memorable 2007 semi-final at Subiaco Oval, in which the Magpies prevailed in extra time.
The Collingwood VFL team doesn’t play this week with the competition breaking for the representative match between the VFL and the SANFL.
