[carlton_99]

Oh boy.

You have a wild imagination if you think that is anything close to what you said.

 

[timokane]

my pies line up tomorrow night MCG:

fb: howe moore iq
cb: josh maynard houston
c: perryman nick lipinski
cf: pendles checkers whe
ff: elliott mcstay timmy
r: cameron crisp long
int: sullivan cox steel hill
sub: mitchell

i think hill plays
mitchell as sub
sullivan given one more go but on notice
pendles to try his hand there at half forward
crisp long at the stoppages
allan and dean omitted
cox to be called upon to relief in the ruck with cameron they share the ruck cameron and cox
whe up forward
steel debuts
rest looks settled and right
close early on blues coming after the pies
but after half time pies pull away and get its mojo back and click into gear
should run out say 4 goal winners pies
say around 24 points.
weather clear crisp night only a cool light breeze
if i was moore and i win the toss ill kick to punt rd end first quarter
attendance should get around 87k there mcg

 

[timokane]

No Hill at training today.
Not confident now that hill plays.
Still misses this week methinks.
Thinking of playing Will parker now or at a pinch Cochrine.
Kind of running of these types now that Shultz is another week away and mccreery is 3 weeks away.
Pies lacking pressure forwards in this game.
We could play Harry DeMattina in this situation.
Hope Hill is ok.
Family issues getting in the way now.

 

[timokane]

Methinks this is the best chance blues has beating the pies for a couple of years now
if not tomorrow night then when

[WalshistheGOAT]

Frankie Evans in.

Blues by 200

Respectfully, there isn't really a comparison here.

I would have thought De Goey, Schultz, Sidebottom, Hill, McCreery and Frampton are very significant outs by any measure. All would be in Collingwood’s best 22.

They are. Carlton probably have 9 unavailable in their best 22 which was more my point about the comparison. We are bringing in Frankie Evans. Don't think you have much to worry about - especially with our recent "responses" after poor losses

 

[LoungeLizard]

Oh my, do Carlton have injuries?

Again?

Moir and Evans to combine for 6 goals, The greatest things since sliced bread.

Let's get Evans to 6 touches first. One step at a time.

So 'not comparable', because Collingwood are a far better team with far better depth?

Still.

 

[Robertio]

Frankie Evans in Carlton won't lose.

 

[carlton_99]

You are definitely the better team this year

 

[Aphrodite]

Pies by 28 points
bit rope a dope 1q maybe 2q but pies by 4-5 goals
kind of getting the job done easy now
no injuries win it by 28 points

but after half time pies pull away and get its mojo back and click into gear
should run out say 4 goal winners pies
say around 24 points.

 

[Fadge]

You are definitely the better team this year

Are you sure?

I mean, you guys beat Geelong, and they beat us...

 

[carlton_99]

I think I've made it pretty clear in the past how I determine which team has had a better season. Doesn't change regardless of how my own team is going.

6 out of a team that heavily relies on 35 year olds to win them games with no talented youth on their list is massive though, let the pies have their two good years now before their best players turn 40 and we’ll sit back with a hot chocolate and a scotch finger biscuit and watch them cellar dwell for the next 5 years after that.

Nice melt flogzey. Can't wait for more tonight!

Gotta make allowances for Fitzey mate. Not sure the lift goes to the top floor with that guy. Poor old Fitzey didn’t have any friends as a kid. Apparently his mum used to tie a bone around his neck, so at least the dog would play with him. Very sad case.

 

[Cyclops]

Surely the Blues lift for this? Both sides usually lift despite to positions.

Just hoping for no injuries.

Frankie Evans in.

Blues by 200

Pitonet in. There will be a fight. Possibly concussions, and not just friendly fire from Maynard.

Surprised no one has gone with Tryden Maynhard yet. I guess he's loved and respected by all.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Carlton by 27.

Curnow to kick 8.

Cripps 35 touches.

Daicos 0 contested marks.

 

[voorhees]

expect the blues to show a bit of back bone, like the roos last night..
But pies will get home - pies 24p

 

[_jrtp09_]

Surely the Blues can produce something tonight for their embattled coach.
