I was of the understanding Clubs don't need to announce this until an hour before the match.

Bobby out, will be missed, and id feel a lot easier if Jack and Ash were at least on the bench. A lot easier, we should still win, but it may be a bit tighter than what I thought. Woods around 22 points, at least, hopefully.

No reason to believe we won’t win, but it’s Collingwood v Carlton and sometimes funny things can happen.

Walsh is a massive out for them and a question mark on the fitness of a few others. Lost more ins/outs to their side than you’d ideally want.

They showed last time their predictability, going through Curnow almost exclusively to goals. Darcy carved him up, ably supported by our backline intercepting machine. They’ll look to use DeKoening a bit more tonight I reckon.

Billy will kick five, and McStay and Checkers will kick a few each. Pies by five goals.

hearing that Cripps might not get up. That would be handy.

24 games since start of 2010 season.
They've won 5. That is funny.

C'mon everyone, they've beaten GCS (MCG), Hawthorn (MCG), Port missing [resting] 7 players (Marvel), Fremantle (away), and WCE (Marvel). Sometimes the draw skews things. That's 4 of the bottom 5 teams, plus a top 2 team preparing for another match.

We've played: Melbourne (-4), Adelaide (+2), GCS away (+78), Bulldogs at Marvel (+12), Fremantle (+46), and full-strength Port away (+2).

We're at close to full strength now, Carlton are not.

Only hubris and complacency will prevent a comfortable win. Carlton won;t know what hits them after 6 weeks of training runs.

Collingwood by 35 points, easing up.

Yeah I’m expecting a similar game to Freo when we put the cues in the rack at half time and did what we had to do to win and not got injured.

Be nice IF we played FOUR consistent quarters, not say, two and a bit as we did against the Dockers. Put 4 together , we smash the pricks, no doubt of it.
