Formline:
Betting:
Last time they played:
Why Carlton will win:
Weitering put on a clinic last week and now has support from Liam Jones who returns. Williams is on fire and the inclusion of Fisher will inject pace in their line-up. McKay has established himself as an attacking weapon and last but not least Walsh is a genuine threat.
There is pressure on Carlton to win this game. Their coach who will be fired at the end of the year regardless, is even more likely to be fired regardless.
Why Collingwood will win:
Collingwood has won the last 7 games against the Blues, this alone has them set as favourites. Our ball movement is finally looking more fluid and we're coming off a huge win against the other enemy, Richmond.
JDG has clicked as a midfielder that has short stints in the forward line as opposed to the other way around. Maynard is back to his raging-bull best. Pendles is ageless and Crisp just keeps on trucking.
The Blues are also likely to go in with just one key forward, which will make life tougher for Harry McKay who will be squaring off against Roughie.
My thoughts:
For fans of either club it doesn't matter where we're positioned on the ladder. Beating Carlton will make our year seem less sh*t, and vice versa.
I was a sooky kid. I cried for days when my dog got hit by a motorbike but nothing made me cry more than the 1979 grand final; fn Wayne Harmes.
Playing Carlton 4 decades later will still trigger those awful memories and it doesn't help at all that their leaders have always looked like aliens.
I believe this game will go the wire. Pies by 5 points. Elliot to kick 4.
