AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[pinot]

Hewett and Cincotta out....Boyd in. Hewett the sub by the looks.

Good changes. George looks knackered/out of sorts.  Cincotta had a howler but gave the club plenty of good moments in his journey. Boyds foot skills are really good so is Cincotta's btw.

Hewitt confirmed as the sub.

So its Cincotta for Boyd
Ed Curnow swaps sub duties with Hewitt.

Rotation policy of giving mids a mini rest continues.....and i like that. Kennedy (x2), Curnow and Hewitt have all had rests now. Its working better than Honey and LOB as subs who offered nothing.

It also helps with the problem of too many slower inside mids for the whole game. However I would have pulled the trigger earlier on Kennedy in the Brisbane game.

I'm expecting late changes.

I just read an article from 7 news about Ginnivan and Johnson being sent home with a bit of "man flu".

Given all the other PC jargon floating around what do we think about the term man flu?  Personally I think it'd a way of saying that men shouldn't show weakness of any form unless they're dieing and taking the micky out of any male who is under the weather.  This is a bit of a problem in the context of modern society where respect is supposed to flow both ways.  Only the person is ill knows how they feel and if they are feeling crook labelling it man flu is a way of minimising it and telling them they should be soldiering on. 

Personally I've associated it with being called a wuss and generally a way of society not accepting vulnerability from males. 

A bit of a faux par in context of modern society that continues to bubble away with scant regard.

What Malthouse doesn't (or fails to realise) is that it really is a different club to when he got the ass. The board "maffia" is a thing of the past IMO.

I have no issue with the term "man flu", either directed at me personally or in general usage.

Malthouse is right but I don't think the Pies would have been happy with the last line lol.

MacRae was tongue in cheek with the man flu comments. Did hear rumours either Sidebottom or Pendlebury isn't well either..
