Pre-Game Potential: AFL 2019 Rd 8: Carlton vs. Collingwood

Pie pressure will force too many errors I fear.

Thryleon....isn't Goddard a much bigger defender type? If Cox is out it only leaves them with Reid and Mihocek as "talls" with Reid part time ruck. I think that Casboult plays even if Kreuzer is fit with McGovern possibly dropping back to play intercept style role.

Yep, but having a laugh whilst your teammate is knocked out isn't a good look for a supposed leader.

FWIW I'd have plowman on de goey early.

To be honest I'd liked to have dropped half the team given last week.

Just watching them run through their banner will strike fear into the Team :

6 to 8 goal loss and we won't win any quarter on the scoreboard,  They'll wear us down bit by bit

Any chance we will tag Steel Sidebottom or just put Murphy up against him.

There just has to be a response after last week.
There simply has to be.
I doesn't have to be a win.
That's very unlikely....

But one of the first lessons I learnt about football was that a Carlton v Collingwood game isn't over until the final siren.

(That actually really silly because if we're ten goals up with a minute to go.... it is really over
....but it's a nice inspirational thing to hang our hats on.) ;D

[capcom]

Regardless of who it might be, I expect (make that demand) some on field changes when required as Bolton is far too slow to enact them.  We'll lose regardless, but the manner in which you restrict the damage is as much his to wear as it is those who run through the banner

Where there's life, there's hope...

Get the right ex player/coach in for a rev and motivation and it just might unite these boys on a clear course. Rhys for mine. Bet Parko can still get that vein raised.

And let's assume the players really challenged each other to show 120 minutes of united, ruthless, consistent endeavour. And even Murphy buys into the ruthlessness.

And let's assume the coaches really challenged each other to get on the same page with passionate agreement, you know 'connected'.

And let's assume that we actually send someone to De Goey and that bloke has some sh1te on his liver and makes life very hard for De Goey.

No Beams, no Adams, no Cox.

We'll win this! (if Murphy lays more than 2 tackles)
