Pies dominating inside-50s
As we approach the midway point of the first quarter, the Magpies are on top when it comes to inside-50s.
They lead the count 9-2 and should have more to show than a 1.1 return at this stage of the match.
Patrick Voss marked to give the Dockers their second inside-50, but his shot on goal went left and through for a behind.

The heavens opened when Gather Round began on Thursday night.

Expect the pill to be extra slippery tonight.

Nick Daicos and Scott Pendlebury return for the Magpies after missing the Lions encounter with injury.
Daicos was a late withdrawal at the Gabba last week due to a corked calf, having began the warm-up before he was scratched.
Pendlebury returns from Achilles tightness.
And rounding out their ‘ins’, mature-age recruit Angus Anderson has been named to make his debut.

Gather Round continues

It’s the Dockers who enter tonight’s clash as the higher-placed team on the ladder.
Justin Longmuir’s troops have a 3-1 win-loss record to sit in fourth place.
The Dockers have won three straight and are coming off a two-point triumph over the Crows at the same venue they play the Magpies.
Speaking of the Magpies, it’s been a mixed start to the season.
They’re 2-2 to be 11th on the ladder.
The Magpies arrived in Adelaide on the back of a 54-point thumping dished out by the Lions last round.
But they do have some important inclusions tonight …
