We're definitely copping it from the umpires this week. Will need to be 3-4 goals better than them to win the game.

Unless the changes are catastrophic, I'm extremely confident of a win. 4+ goals I reckon.

Imagine if they won 13 in a row
News reporting 3 changes at least, Dixon with ankle, Mckenzie with ankle, Rioli.

They're arrogant tools but the handful of upset losses over the last 10 years stick in the memory.
Always pissed me off how we lowered ourselves to their level on a regular basis and made their cast of spuds look like hall of famers.
I've been pretty confident over the last several weeks but think we might drop this one. It'll probably be close in the end but the slow starts are a concern.
At the very least. If they are within reach at 3/4 time they will be kicking with a 6 goal umpire in the last quarter.
Surely the club knows that the 3 games after Carlton will be tough - Pies, Cows and Cats.
This really is the week to rest Dixon, and an extra one for Lycett if needed.
I don’t think we have played our turbo high pressure game plan much since the bye - just a couple of bursts here and there.
Will be interesting this week

If your ruck can dominate and put it down their throats all night it might get interesting. I'm more worried about the maggots than Carlton honestly. If we steer clear of the worst of them Razor Ray yeah yeah, Nicholl not yeah yeah and some of the other corrupt maggots we should get it done.
Honestly I think the gap isn’t in the first choice mids but the next tier down where we edge you out but it’s academic as the Umps will be channeling wicked VFL vibes Saturday and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 10-2 or 11-3 free kick count in your favour by 1/4 time so any advantage we have is well gone
Sheesh could be an interesting line up with those outs.
McKenzie - Jonas
Lord - Dixon
Sparkle - Rioli
And then maybe Lynette in for Hayes.
I’d rather Duursma come in for McKenzie and move Bergman back but the others there ain’t to many options left!
To be fair, although we've won our two after the bye, we haven't been convincing in either game. They are overconfident, but at their home ground (/umpires) and with us bringing back Captain 'turning circle and speed of the titanic', this is a 50-50 game. If we're a real contender to Collingwood we should be winning this by 40+, but I'm predicting another small margin win.
What happened to Lord last weekend? Didn't play in the magpies side and wasn't an emergency in the AFL

Dixon out is definitely a loss, but he hasn't been doing much lately. He has looked extremely sore. Its part of the reason why I was flabbergasted last week when he was doing ruck minutes. It was a horrendous coaching call.
Going to require Lord to step up again but we need him to get involved more when playing at the level, if he has a good game then we won't lose out a heap.
OUT: Dixon, McKenzie, Rioli
IN: Duursma, Jonas, Lord
SUB: Evans
Hard to shake a bad feeling when you look at those outs. Wouldn't mind dropping one soon, but really want to get to and through Collingwood before dropping one, so hoping it isn't this week.

Was serving a one week suspension for the SANFL game against West.

Of course. Any team that has finished off the might of Gold Coast, Hawthorn and Fremantle over the last few weeks should have no trouble accounting for a team on a 13 game winning streak.

Keep Hayes In and put him in the goal square like he's been doing in the sanfl and make him help lycett out in the ruck

If Dixon is finally out I'd put Dante forward and he can help out in Ruck now and then.
I suspect Lord will get names as an emergency.
I can’t see Dixon being an out. He can ruck if Hayes runs out of steam and opens options for Finlayson to go down back if the back 6 needs a hand.

Playing Lord after returning from suspension is dubious.
His form immediately before was not great.
That really, by default, only leaves Visentini as a potential tall to come in.
