Very happy to see Ben Johnson return after many weeks on the sidelines. I must say that it's great that he's returned, because I think he's been the 'missing link' off the half-back line in the senior side. In the past, I've noticed that Benny J tends to adapt well to the VFL quickly even after being out of the side and I think this time will be no exception. If he has a standout game tomorrow, the club will consider him for the North Melbourne match, otherwise he'll probably play in the VFL again next week. I'm predicting that he returns against West Coast in round 22 as he aimed to do.
It will be interesting to see how Krak and Caff go in their second match back from serious knee injuries. Will we see an improved performance from last week or will they maintain they same kind of form they showed last week. I'm looking forward to see how they go tomorrow.
It won't be easy but I'm not writing us off tomorrow, but I think Sandringham might just be too good in the end and they'll prevail. We need to back ourselves up after a good performance last week against Bendigo.
Hopefully Josh Thomas can have another ripper of a game. He's a very talented player and I think if he keeps playing well, he is entitled to a senior side call-up sooner rather than later.
GO PIES!!!

Interesting stat:
In each of the last 3 games between the Pies and Sandy, Collingwood has lead at 3 quarter time, only to get overrun in the final term each time.
Also:
The last time Ben Johnson began a stint in the VFL after returning from injury, it was against Sandringham (round 13, 2011).
And here's ANOTHER fun fact:
This is the 2nd consecutive season that the Collingwood VFL team has played Sandringham the night after the Collingwood seniors have played Sydney in Sydney.
Just all part of the service from the team here at the MagpieBatcave.

Been playing for 5 mins or so.
Pies to the right of screen (Yacht Club end).
Witts to Yagmoor, chips it over the top... Krakouer!
Krak... from 35m out, forward pocket, shoots... GOAL!
