AFL 2017 ROUND 22
COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES V GEELONG CATS; MATCH PREVIEW & TEAMS AFL 2017 ROUND 22: COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES V GEELONG CATS MITCH DUNCAN and Wylie Buzza return to the Geelong line-up from suspension and a spell in the VFL respectively. They replace Rhys Stanley who is out with a calf injury after playing a pretty good game in the win over Richmond last weekend, and Brandan Parfitt who has somewhat surprisingly been omitted. Collingwood has made three changes including son of a gun Josh Daicos being named for his AFL debut. Also in are Tim Broomhead and Josh Smith while decent players Tyson Goldsack, Alex Fasolo have been left out through injury along with Jordan De Goey. It will be five years, eleven and a bit months since Geelong's crushing 2011 Grand Final win over Collingwood this Saturday. In more recent times the Cats have really struggled including earlier this season when the Magpies easily beat the Cats, by 29 points. The two sides also meet in the VFL, at Victoria Park on Saturday morning while the AFL match is on at the MCG at 2:10PM. The VFL Women play at home (Deakin Uni) against the Wheelers Hill based Eastern Devils- interestingly the Devils began life attached to Deakin's Burwood campus back in 1999, going their own way in 2008.
UMPIRES FIELD:
TBA EM: TBA TIP: Cats by 43 points

THIRD YEAR IN A ROW; GEELONG VFL SIDE
HAS A WIN AFL 2017 ROUND 6 GEELONG CATS V COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES GEELONG lost their first game of the season today against Collingwood, who have beaten the Cats the last few years and now won something like six of the past eight clashes. The Cats started well enough with a goal in the first minute to Nakia Cockatoo but the Magpies soon struck back, equaling the Cats' three goals for the term and took a four point lead into quarter time. The second quarter saw the Magpies step up a couple gears with the Cats stuck in neutral falling seventeen points behind at the main break. Collingwood's six goals to three the third quarter quarter all but ended it, the Cats facing a 35 point deficit just to level the scores, which was never on the cards. The winning margin was 29 points which just about flattered Geelong who were expected to deal with Collingwood if only due to the fact the Magpies played on ANZAC Day - just five days ago.
