Emg Sam Kerridge, Nick Graham, Jack Silvagni, Harry McKay
In Matthew Kreuzer, Matthew Kennedy I would have dropped Weitering and be done with it. He needs to do a fair bit to get his confidence back. He also needs a match-up. I can't see him getting confidence playing on Reid or Cox.
I wouldn't have played Polson: his form last week suggested he wasn't ready for a senior game yet. Similarly, I would have rested Dow and brought in Graham and Kerridge. They are battle hardened and we need that.
Live Long and Prosper!

Weitering is worth another go, but I also would have rested Dow and Polson.
I'd have Kerridge and Jack.S in.
If we play like we did against Ninthmond we are a reasonable chance.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

The Filth played very well against GWS and based on this and how we played last week, we are no chance and will play them into form (god I hope I am wrong). I am still suspicious about Kreuzer, he is the key for us and that groin cant be right. They have named H as an emergency, surely he comes in if the Tractor doesn't come up this time. JW needed a spell IMO, the MC thinks other wise, hope they are right. 0-3 will not look good.

I would have had Polson out and JackS back in.....we need some scoring power and Silvagni's are good value vs Collingwood.
Did Kerridge play last week in the NB's prac game?

Seems like we are determined to press on with the youth emphasis and risk another loss. Not convinced Kreuz will play and if not Harry to come in. Good to see Kennedy return. I think we'll struggle to win this but hey, you never know.
Reality always wins in the end.

Nope he was an emergency.
Frustrating as it is we’ve all complained about dropping kids after 1-2 weeks, does nothing for their confidence. I can say it now but glad poison and weitering r in.

Good to see Kennedy return. I think we'll struggle to win this but hey, you never know. If Kreuzer does not play, we cannot win. I hope he is fit, though. I HATE playing half fit players. It can really hurt us.
The other thing I want us to be certain of is having the right match-ups. Last week we didn't. Injury was the reason, but ...

I think we'll win this one, Collingwood are very ordinary and they'll have themselves believing that they should have beaten GWS.
We're a much better side with Kreuzer in, Blues by 16.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

So we lose 2 half back flankers and replace them with a ruckman and an inside mid!! A pretty damning admission on how badly balanced the team was last week.
The side looks better on paper but we have kicked 18 goals in our last 7 quarters since the fast start against Richmond. Our forward line is still a basket case so I'm not confident, but hopefully something will click into gear this week. Surely things have to improve from last week's dismal effort........

Noting no kennedy or Kreuzer for 6 of those 7 quarters you mention.
Fix the midfield... the forward will then fix itself.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
