VFL 2024 Rd 17 Carlton vs Collingwood at Collingwood

[crashlander]

The Blue play the Meat Pies this Sunday at 11:05 at Collingwood.
We are actually above them on the ladder, having a better percentage. Last time we lost to them by one point.
I'd say that we have a better list to select from, but that doesn't mean everyone is performing.

Looks like Pitto will play, although he might be the travelling emergency.

Already one change: Sam Durdin has replaced Marchbank, who is ill.
We'll probably lose one more as emergency. Pitto? Maybe. Maybe Martin.

I wonder what Liam McMahon did to get suspended?

I really don't like a Forward line.

You can take Sam Durdin out of that side. He's playing 1's, which helps the balance down back which is a bit tall from that lineup.

[crashlander]

I did.

Already one change: Sam Durdin has replaced Marchbank, who is ill.

Of the Emergencies, I wouldn't be playing Gill. As a marking forward, I don't think conditions would suit him. Lewis is a good medium defender. Archie Stevens is decent mid. Ferronato has been better in recent games.

[LP]

Horrible game, being played in slow motion like nobody gives a stuff.

Same old same old on display at the moment, shizen disposals, fumbles, not sure what else to say. You'd think with our team sitting in the Top 8 there might be some urgency to push for a senior spot, but it's not evident.

Possibly we are in a heavy training load phase at the moment, it's often 4 to 6 weeks out of finals that the last heavy sessions are conducted.

[Baggers]

Not sure I agree with you, Spotted One.

We are sure playing a quicker, play on at any cost, kind of game and Rottingwood is have trouble keeping up.

Qtr time: Us 4.2, Them 1.2

Kemp has just about owned the backline. O'Keefe and Pitto rucking, Mirkov up forward. Better players for us: Kemp, Binns, Hayes, Lord.

I think we might be faster, but relative to the Filth, for me the game tempo is treacle.

If anything, it's bruise-free footy. Entertaining.

[Baggers]

Half time.

Us 8.5
Them 5.4

Binns 24 disposals to half time! Kemp 10 marks.
Also impressive (bearing in mind its pretty bruise free footy - 46 tackles combined!): Kemp, Hayes, Lord, Maher & Nelson. As you'd expect Pitto doing well in the ruck, up against Cox - (16 HOs but not one mark! Cox 13 HOs)
