Really liking the forward line.
Charlie's 6
Martin seems to be impacting more with each game...and he doesn't need much to impact.
...and I thought Owies and Motlop worked really well together.
McKay has to play when he's fit, but we need to work a way to keep that full forward line a bit open.
I'm not sure where Durdin fits in.

Amazing game. Could not be prouder.
BT or, as we refer to him at home ‘hindsight Hodge’ said - Collingwood had a 6 day interstate wet turnaround - does that matter? We missed Cerra after halftime, Walsh and JSOS entire game ??♀️

Great win despite the umpires gifting the Filth some crazy decisions which led to goals.
King Charles needs to get his head ripped off to get a free.
Watched it with a Power supporter and he couldn't believe how hard done by we were by the umps.
I said welcome to my world.

Pitto and TDK will be fine, the big blokes need to string games together.
Cameron, Cox and if needed McStay are serious opposition.
It's the idea that we have to always choose one or the other that is a bit flawed, it's as crazy as the debate about "Harry or Charlie" like choosing one of the other makes sense, ..... it's called media dribble! Voss took the piss out of it in the presser.

Charlies angels?

Our belief and commitment to being the 'hunters' continues to grow and consolidate. There's a persistent ruthlessness about how we play that is irresistible.
When you factor in the missing key personnel, it only makes the win and the manner of the win all the more impressive - team of leaders with strong accountability and adherence to 'role'.
Now, time to watch the replay and savour every delicious moment.
Ps good to see the umpires finally catching most illegal tactics to stop Charles.

Very satisfying win given the lead up to the game and all the Collingwood hype.
Charlie has gone to the next level as a Full Forward and dare I say it seems to take charge more with Harry out of the team.
Newman and Weitering were outstanding down back and the former has been our best player this season along with unlucky Cerra who had a great first half.
Never been a fan of Martin and it's been a long time between drinks ie his first game but he actually gave us a complete game and converted well which was a key factor in the win so credit to him.
Thought Collingwood had their fair share of the ball but were under pressure most of the time and our tackling was at its best it been for years.
Re Marchbank....didn't have a great game and is very slow but at the same time being thrown into a big game with no previous senior footy for a long while you probably have to expect a few errors.
Didn't think the ruck battles influenced much and the midfield was even but we had the better forwards and method and that's where the game was won.

Collingwood got some of the worst frees I can remember. Our rucks, in particular, were savaged by the Umps.

Didnt watch the game last night as I had a work function. I watched the replay this morning and a few things stood out to me:
- A very workman like performance, EVERY single player did their job whether it was score a bag of goals, play a cameo, lay tackles, run 15.6km. Whilst the scalp was huge, it was we didn't try and be too cute, just a solid performance from every line.
- We had a plan and stuck to it to a tee. Peter's boys had the right amount of attention from multiple players, Cripps kept De Goey quiet for the most part, Sidebottom was NOT permitted to run around like a leper all night and finally pressure pressure pressure. It's amazing how when you apply pressure, normally brialliant balls users suddenly have less time. Mr Ice in His Veins was even too scared to take a shot in the last, that's what scoreboard pressure does.
Hard luck for Cez, was BOG up until he went off, hopefully not too serious a hammy. Special mention to Ollie Hollands, what a player he will be for us.
Great win, 6 in a row, who woulda thunk it? Certainly not me.
Go Blues
Re: AFL Rd 20 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - PaulP - 07-29-2023
Some rough, sketchy impressions :
Seeing Cripps barge through contest after contest, tackle after tackle was so great to see. Definitely won the battle with DeGoey
Marchbank and Dow were a little off, but for very different reasons.
Pittonet and De Koning both ordinary IMO
The role players did their job really well
Hollands tackle on that Neanderthal Maynard was great.
Acres is a good link man, but needs to stamp out the dodgy kicks
Hewett was very good.
Charlie Curnow, Weitering and Martin are guns
Fogarty has played great pressure footy since his return. Definitely consolidated his spot in the 22 IMO.
All round great pressure and tackling game.
Moving Jeremy Howe forward was a great move. Nearly swung the momentum back in their favour.
Super super effort by all concerned.
