Pre game Promise AFL Rd 18 Carlton vs Collingwood at the MCG - crashlander - 07-08-2021
In many ways the last time we played was a nadir for us this season. The Meat Pies proved that they couldn't beat anyone, and yet they defeated us in one of the more listless performances I can remember.
Well, the time has come for our redemption, but the Collingwood we play this time is definitely on the improve. It also has Grundy, who has thrashed us in recent years.
So, the question arises, can we right the wrong from early in the season? Can we overcome Grundy? We have struggled for wins against the Meat Pies now for years and have now allowed them to skip ahead of us. We lifted to play the Drug Cheats: can we do so against our oldest foe?

If Casboult and Jones don't come up next week, then we are in diabolical trouble.

Think he copped a Thigh or Corkie too...he needs resting but might have to play again.

If Collingwood smell blood, we'll likely need a quarter time transfusion.

Yes convincingly too, they thumped the tigers good.
Grundy , Pendelbury, Elliot, Thomas, DeGoey and others was very excellent good , ia strong team effort. Harvey has the Pies firing again they we’re awesome in the last quarter. Very scary

Good test for Teague and these games are always 50/50 no matter where the teams are on the ladder. But we need Jones and Casboult back, we wont get away with Jack rucking in this game, Pickett was used in that role today and it was a fail vs the two big Pie rucks.

Darcy Moore out from last time we played them though is a big loss and might give Harry a chance to have more influence..

Yup no Moore nor Daicos helps us fior certain, not sure what we do about Grundy he’ll just take control of the game.
Keep our fingers crossed they turn up off the mark and over confident. Go Blues

Those predictions of 11 wins for the season are looking mighty shaky. We'll struggle to field a side by the end given the current rate of attrition. Some bold coaching and selections required.
