AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[shawny]

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

Be handy is that pair were out but even so they are so well drilled I doubt it will do much but maybe keep us in the game for a little longer before they run over us.
No faith at all based on our form all year we have any chance to beat this mob.

Got a lot of things going right for us in terms of their injuries, illness, rebound factor after a poor loss.I'd be very disappointed if we can't win this game and  convincingly too...

You are going to be very disappointed.

You are going to be very disappointed.

If we cant beat them tomorrow given the positives in our favour then we dont deserve to be playing finals.
I always view Coll vs Carlton games independent of form and ladder position and feel its our turn for a win this time.

Couldn't agree more. I'm not confident though but hope to be proven wrong.

Go Blues

EB unlike us they don’t rely on a handful of players to star they are well drilled have plans in place for all situations and cover injuries very well.

Apart from Geelong in round 2 we have not beaten a top tier side since mid last year. This group just doesn’t have the skills needed to get wins against the best teams and mentally we are as fragile as any club in the comp.

Unless we turn back the clock one year and play a blinder with all our big names having monster games it will be another loss. They are way too balanced and consistent for us.
Pies comfortably regardless if they lose a few pre game

Righto, today is game day. Today we will know where we are at as we test ourselves against one the two best teams in the comp (I think Coll are no 1, Bris are no 2). Once again on paper we have close to our strongest side named. They are going in with no ruckman to speak of with Cameron named as an emergency (which surely will change before the bounce). In any case, I think we have the tools to win this one. If we have any late outs and/or anything less than our very best for 4 qtrs won't get it done.
Its Time!
Go Blues

Admire your positivity G2C. I wish our players had your attitude

They absolutely have to today, for them it's the biggest home and away game they will play in and that's why I said earlier forget form, forget ladder position, its the BIGGEST and OLDEST rivalry in VFL/AFL, its at the home of footy. In F1, there is a saying that every driver dreams of driving for Ferrari, the oldest most prestigious team of all. We are mirroring Ferrari's form at the moment ;D  but players dream of playing in big games like this in front of big crowds at the G. If our blokes can't get up for this one, may as well pack up and go home.

Positivity is good in the right circumstances. I'm not sure this week is that.

If we lose by 10 goals (more likely than a win IMO unfortunately) i wonder how positive he'll be then.

A bit like BBB, sack the whole list, and the coaches and fitness staff etc.

Realistically, Collingwood are a much better side than us.
Realistically, Collingwood should win and win relatively comfortably.
Realistically, we should not want to torch the place down if the above occurs.......but no doubt some will.
