^ Nah, he's been dropped because of an injury after Buckley overtrained him. Buckley has lost the players. We're stuffed. Time to start tanking! BUCKLEY WILL NEVER WIN A FLAG! (just kidding!)

Being serious, though, that would be great if you could find the reason for Ceglar's omission for us, Culprit. Will read with interest...

Elliot named. Didak going around again, as is Brown.

Team now in the OP...

No Marley Williams or Ceglar but good to see Elliott & Smith back. Hartley not named is a bit of a shock, thought he'd recovered from his injury.

Depend on who ends up on the bench, starting 18 looks well balanced.

The Box Hill side:

B: Duryea Boumann Langford
HB: Litherland Gilham Kelly
C: Bateman T. Murphy Wanganeen
HF: Puopolo Lowden Pratt
F: Gilchrist Pattison Hughes
R: McCauley Bruce Schneider
Int: Jones Tobin Lock Andrews Mirra Cass Fagan Johnson Cassidy*

What irks me is why this game can't be scheduled for the morning, so that Pies fans have enough time to hop on the train to Docklands.

The Box Hill/Hawthorn double-header later in the year is scheduled this way, and there is no VFL Reserves match at Box Hill City Oval on this Saturday morning, so what gives?

Langford is the son of THE Chris Langford, 303 game player for Hawthorn. Wanganeen is a "distant relation" of Gavin Wanganeen.

Just saying, for those who weren't aware.

I think the VFL fixture guy is a former Hawks player.

^ That might explain it. Never give a team called Collingwood an even break, eh?

Also, I must apologise, for I spoke without knowing: collingwoodfc.com.au will not be providing the usual LiveChat on the club website this week.

Which means that whatever stats I manage to post will be from the ABC coverage, and as such not as comprehensive as the usual service from the club.

Will Ugle spend much time in the middle? He still looks very slight so I thought he might struggle there

I hope the Pies win again. If we hadn't been playing this afternoon, I would have popped down and see the guys as the ground is only about 10-15 mins away from my place.

Disturbed that Ceglar isn't playing in the Twos. It seems to me that he is still the best long term candidate for the Leroy Brown role. Dawes can't ruck and Wood can't lead or jostle effectively as a forward. I would have hoped that Ceglar would be getting as much game time as possible in the VFL.

Rambo, Dids both playing. Hahn making his debut in black and white.

There's an umpire down BEFORE THE BALL HAS EVEN BEEN BOUNCED!

HTFU, ump!

In all seriousness, though, the Pies medical staff is out there with him. Hope he is ok...
