Pies stick to winning formula
Collingwood has named an unchanged line-up for Saturday night’s clash with Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
The Magpies have stuck with the 22 that put in such a gutsy performance to overcome an in-form Essendon on ANZAC Day.
Emergencies for this week's match are Shane Wakelin, Chris Egan and Sam Iles.
Collingwood comes in to the game having won three of its five matches so far in season 2007, while Adelaide, which has also won three from five, is coming off a one-point loss to Fremantle at Subiaco last Sunday.
Forward Paul Medhurst is yet to fully recover from an ankle injury sustained in round three, but is not far away from making a return.
