Opinion Is this where Carlton drops away?

[freddy mercury]

Hoping for Collingwood Carlton elimination final. Could genuinely happen.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Carlton Collingwood next week with Blues playing for their lives and Collingwood trying to kill them off/ secure a top 4/home final is going to be like a final come early.
You'd expect 85k+ to that one.

Brisbane remaining games tough draw, i think the blues can take the lion's spot in the top 4.

Um.... No you wont

How apt was this thread!

 

[Demonalke]

Any word on when they are going to appeal the loss?

Get it?

The top teams can usually deal with injuries, think the blues aren’t quite able to just yet. It’s probably going to be the one that got away as I think they could’ve given it a shake this year at full strength.

Carlton can still make it even if they lose next week?

Thought I read the difference in result in two games needs to be less than 10 points I believe.. OR something like that

If Bulldogs also lose yes.

If Bulldogs win by under a goal and Carlton lose by a goal they might still make it too

At least you were brave last night Juddernaut08 La Dispute

Must be a strange feeling watching a team be in the 8 fir 22 rounds and on the verge of not playing finals.. Guess the premise of the thread is accurate that Carlton were always going to fall away..

Dogs game earlier timeslot - result will be known before ht Pies v Blues match

If Sydney beat Collingwood today it makes the Carlton/ Collingwood clash next week really interesting.

Richmond might end up playing Collingwood first week of the finals.

Oh boy!

 

[nut]

If collingwood win today then they’ve locked in top 4 …. So next week won’t matter too much for the pies

I think Richmond need to lose this week, Saints and Dogs lose or win by not much.

 

[Jibroni]

Blues would be stiff to miss as their best is very good. I'm hoping they will play the Pies back to back and win both.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

Hate 'em but the Blues aren't a bad side. Could be a contender next year if their twin towers keep firing and they keep most of their best 22 on the park.

Yet, of course, I hope none of this happens.

 

[tigerfan1961]

Might not be far off. The line is 20.5.
But I expect the intent the Blues could bring has the potential to make it closer.

Great call Mate, deserves recognition as like many, I thought the Dees would win comfortably

Have maintained that the Bloos bottom 6 is some of the most ordinary in that top 10 sides. Carlton top 8 is as good as any that's what makes them a scary proposition

Its usually the case that if you have a top midfield and two potent key forwards you'll be a threat.

I thought the Docherty in the middle experiment went well last night. Vossy will probably go to that well again next week.

Cracking last game of the season which may lead into a fantastic possible elimination final between Pies and Tiges. Let's get in there first and then our GF can be knocking Collingwood out

The difference between top 4 (and potentially having to travel to Brisbane) vs top 2 is huge.

But if you win today you’ve made to 4

I still don't rate Voss yet.

The list has the top end talent. But the defense structure is fairly average, teams like Port, Hawthorn and Adelaide have got a run on against them when the momentum has switched.

Perhaps a pass for 2022 as he hasn't had much time, would expect great improvement in 2023. Also need to have a 1 out 1 in game style where the odd injury doesn't ruin defensive structures at stoppages or in d50.
