Re: AFL Rd 21 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - crashlander - 08-01-2024
Our line-up:
B: [37] Jordan Boyd, [23] Jacob Weitering, [42] Adam Saad
HB: [17] Brodie Kemp, [11] Mitch McGovern, [24] Nic Newman
C: [13] Blake Acres, [9] Patrick Cripps, [46] Matthew Cottrell
HF: [20] Elijah Hollands, [10] Harry McKay, [21] Jack Martin
F: [8] Lachie Fogarty, [30] Charlie Curnow, [3] Jesse Motlop
R: [27] Marc Pittonet, [18] Sam Walsh, [5] Adam Cerra
Int: [39] Alex Cincotta, [29] George Hewett, [4] Oliver Hollands, [44] Matthew Owies, [7] Matthew Kennedy
Em: [2] Lachlan Cowan, [16] Jack Carroll, [33] Lewis Young
Now, if only we were actually in some sort of form ...
[1] We need to work on our ruck issues. Cameron has developed into a very good ruckman and will be hard to negate. Pitto is just not playing that well at the moment.
2nd ruck is a big problem too. H is the obvious one, but he isn't that good. It is a problem that we don't really have a solution to as yet.
[2] Cottrell, Cerra and Fogarty are far from their best at the moment. Ollie Hollands and Matt Owies are also struggling. We really need them to stand up.
[3] Cowan is a bit stiff to be out. I like the way he plays.
[4] Martin hasn't shown much yet. I hope he comes up.
[5] We need to squash the Daicos boys. Cincotta is just one man.
[6] Who do we play on Cox? Maybe Weitering? McGovern for McStay?

Long is a ordinary player who Hawks flicked.
Bytel...see Long
Noble...good footballer
DeGoey wont be fit and might be a last minute out
I think we have them well covered and Martin might have a good impact like he usually does first up after injury and we deserve to strong favourites...
McStay fitted in pretty well last round. He and Cox could make life very difficult for our defence.
I think that the Pies would be disappointed with Schultz but he seems to save his best footy for us, as do a few of his teammates. Their confidence will be up after having their way with the Tigers and I suspect that we’ll be in for a tough night.

He and Cox could make life very difficult for our defence.McStay was a good out for Collingwood in the premiership season and when he came into the team late was when they lost games. He doesnt do what Mihocek does in terms of creating goals for his smaller teammates and being that team focussed FF who sacrifices his own game and if Weitering picks him up he wont get near it imho.

Cox with his size and our lack of it down back will cause problems for sure if the supply is decent but its going to be our mids and forwards who are going to have to be better and stop that rebound slingshot game so our backs can at least have the time to cover their man.
Not sure the Tigers are a great form guide but I expect Collingwood to lift for Pendlebury who will be probably go down in history as the greatest Pie player but I still expect to win comfortably and reestablish us as a contender.

I wonder if someone (hopefully) realises that Cinc is potentially more than just a run-with. I'd have him as an inside-mid with Crippa, Walsh and Pitto. He can do most of what Georgey H can do, except he's faster. Having someone quick over the grass close in (and minding a designated other mid) gives us some clearance speed from ball-ups/throw-ns who's also more than capable of strong defensive pressure. Plus his smarts and abilities to get the aggott out to the outside mids (Cerra/Blacres/Cotters etc.) is more than valuable. He's already shown his goal smarts when hovering around ball-ups/ball-ins up forward.

Re: AFL Rd 21 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - townsendcalling - 08-02-2024
There are comments going around on various social media sites, that all supporters in attendance tomorrow should stand up and clap at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter in acknowledgement of Pendlebury and many Carlton supporters are agreeing that they will. Now, win, lose or draw I'm happy to applaud him at the end of the game...... but not mid match in the heat of battle.
Re: AFL Rd 21 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - Lods - 08-02-2024
That is a ridiculous idea.
If we have momentum the last thing our players would need would be that distraction.
By all means at the end of the game...but mid quarter. :

Like if it was Cripps they would clap? No chance.
