AFL ROUND 19 2010; GEELONG V COLLINGWOOD;
MATCH PREVIEW INCLUDING TEAM LISTS, TV DETAILS By Ben Jensen from Ljubljana, Slovenia GEELONG CATS v COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES GEELONG host Collingwood at the MCG this Saturday night in the most anticipated clash since Geelong and St Kilda earlier this season. Jimmy Bartel returns from injury, with Trent West making way. This will leave just the one recognised ruckman in the team, Brad Ottens with Mark Blake still in the VFL. Win, and the Cats will leapfrog the Magpies into top spot just three weeks out from finals. Lose, and not only will Geelong supporters and the rest of the AFL public hear about it for weeks, the Wobblers will all but be assured of top spot and the Dr McClelland Trophy Mark Williams used to bang on about before Port Adelaide gave him the boot.

TERM, BUT PUT MAGPIES FIRMLY BACK IN THEIR PLACE, REGAIN TOP SPOT COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES V GEELONG CATS GEELONG have smashed any designs Collingwood had of challenging them for immediate supremecy in the AFL, winning by six goals and snatching back top spot on the ladder, to celebrate Cameron Mooney's 200th game. He certainly performed on the big stage, booting three key goals in front of a massive crowd. A huge crowd of 88,115 packed into the MCG on a Friday night blockbuster, after pubs surrounding the ground emptied and the masses flocked to the cauldron decked out in their respective colours. At least that’s how I imagine it was, as I sat in my Edinburgh office with the window open on a fine Friday morning, where it was a balmy 20 degrees, which here feels more like a Melbourne 35. Decided to listen to the game via the 3G phone today rather than the work computer, whose bandwidth was limited and to keep off the IT police’s radar.
