AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

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.

They are at the weakest and very cocky, timing is right for us to bring effort and win the game...

We are 'mentally' at our weakest too. Out of form and who knows when that could turn around.

Might be today, but odds are it won't be.

EB...if they've shown one thing since mid-way through last season, it's that they're not really "weak" anywhere on the ground...regardless of who's in or out. McRae has got them playing as a team, playing for each other, doing all the little things that count. They've had injuries like most teams but never do you hear them talk about it really. And more importantly, blokes who come in from the VFL step up to that next level. They haven't had a big key forward since the beginning of last year and McStay has only played a handful of games this year. They have had their ruckmen out most of this season...Jeremy Howe went down early in the year.

Yes, today is probably our best shot at knocking them over but IMO, based on the fact we've only won one game in the last 5 (against a West Coast team that doesn't really count at the moment), we're still at very long odds.

Collingwood are in a fantastic head space at the moment - they have every reason to believe they can knock us over, and do it well.

We have slid down to 11th on the ladder and will stay there unless we beat the Pies today.

[Thryleon]

The ones stating we can get them today seem to have short memories.

When was the last time Collingwood were "off"? 

Probably bout the same time we were last "on".

It would surprise me to get a win today.  I'm hoping I'm shocked but I doubt it.  I haven't been this pessimistic about our team and another since clarko was coaching the hawks.

Not sure if this is already posted, but Darcy Cameron is in the starting 22, Ginnivan the sub.

To be honest, I'm in the same camp. Not proud of that btw. It didn't help watching similar TO's and dumb errors to cough the game up in the 2's

Feeling quite fatigued as a long term member ?

So much for the 'changes to our advantage'

My tip Pies by 26 may well be short of the mark.

Go Blues- give us something to restore the fading faithful
