The current formula is a winning formula according to Collingwood’s match committee.

Nathan Buckley is likely to take the same line-up into Sunday’s clash with the Western Bulldogs as last week’s 24-point victory over Geelong.

Three players have been added to the Magpies squad to allow for a Sunday game, yet no one who played last weekend has been left out.

It’s mean that after two consecutive wins, round 10 may be the first time this season Collingwood will play with an unchanged line-up.

“For the first time in a fair while there’s no change,” director of football Neil Balme told Collingwood Media’s ‘Team Sheet’.

“We’re getting into a better position. We’ve got a much healthier list. We’ve got a lot more blokes available.”

Football’s service to the greater community will be on display on Sunday as the clash against the Bulldogs recognises not only Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round, but also the 17th annual Robert Rose Cup.

The Dogs are in current possession of the cup supporting those with spinal cord trauma after beating the Magpies by 18 points in round 17 last year.

The Pies will have a chance to reverse fortunes on Sunday in a game which will also celebrate the 50th games of Brodie Grundy and Jack Crisp.

Both men enter the game in strong form.

Grundy had 20 disposals, 13 hit-outs and two goals against the powerful Geelong ruck combination of Zac Smith, Rhys Stanley and Mark Blicavs, while Crisp finished with 24 possessions after 13 in the first term alone.

Despite impressive performances in the VFL last Saturday, a number of Magpies pushing selection will this weekend remain on the sidelines.

A VFL bye means the likes of Travis Cloke, Marley Willams and Tyson Goldsack will not see any game time.
