As Stevens is out their only real ball magent is Scotland and I think MM will bring Dutchie back just for the task of blanketing him.

If Pebbles and C3 can get the ball enough the Blues will have to plat Whitnal in defense and that leaves Harry on Sideshow Bob.

Bryan will smash C2 in the ruck and their only real threat is Betts and I would not be surprised to see Daisy on him.

Danger Game, if Clement and Presti to miss so that will make it a 5 player change if you add the other three. This is the week we have to be accurate in front of goals.

Outs, Davis, Cox, Egan, Clement?, Presti?
Ins, Lonie?, Didak, Holland, Medhurst & Davies is a chance on form?

Also, beware the wounded Cloke.

I agree with Cam, danger game!

Yeah, Cam - my spider sense is tingling.

Nothing but positive reinforcement so far this season - gutsy wins and competitive losses. Surely we are due a thumping at some point, and it would be Carlton's manifest pleasure to deliver it.

Collingwood seems to have had a habit, in recent years, of surprising in games it's expect to lose... and throwing away the ones we're expected to cruise through. Here's hoping all the changes to the team setup don't destabilise us. I know that rationally, we should smash them, but no matter how we are travelling, or how they are, it is always a mistake to underestimate Carlton (I would normally add "or Essendon" but considering the way our kids dismantled them a couple weeks ago...).

Of course, I'll laugh about these thoughts when we smash Carlton by 8,000 points.

Side note: After calling for his trading/delistment last year, I am pleased to say I was 100% wrong about Tarks. Though it's a strange feeling, I half expect Carlton to tag him heavily... I will still be surprised speechless when I see it happen, of course...

it won't be too easy folks - definitely a danger game. We must be on our game and not take the scum lightly. Fraser has to keep up his form if we are to win! Very angry with Leon, Cox and Egan we really didn't need that !

I said before Davies, my spies tell me Goldsack will come into the squad.

Post by **David** » Tue May 08, 2007 1:36 pm

Davies has been getting in the best for Williamstown for several weeks now, you'd have to wonder if he's due for a call up.

Yes, we should thump them, but if we go into the game expecting that, they will upset us for sure. These days there are no easy wins in AFL: not Carlton, not Richmond, not North Melbourne .... no-one. Any given side can beat any other given side at any given ground on any given day. Expect West Coast to get done in Perth one day, and Richmond to win one of their three games for the year in Brisbane or Adelaide. Or the Demons. Put money on it.

We are playing Carlton. Have you seen them lately... come on they are shite!! Should've lost 3 games in a row by around 10 goals but ess let them back in. Saints without a backline took them to the cleaners. We are Collingwood, we have owned Carlton of late.

We must beat the SCUM!!

didakdisco · Post by **didakdisco** » Tue May 08, 2007 4:35 pm

this should be a no question game with our form this season.. pitty leon had to screw up cauz his second half form would of been great to continue...

we really need presti and jimmy to be there and be fit to stop homer whitnall the donut king and that other bloke they have up forward..

Post by **RudeBoy** » Tue May 08, 2007 5:43 pm

Danger game hey? I suppose every week is a danger game.

If Didak, Medhurst and Dutchy come in to the side we'll beat the scum by 85 points. Now that will be dangerous.

This is a worry...

The injury report - Dr Peter Brukner
http://www.realfooty.com.au/1178390147287.html

James Clement (Collingwood) calf
Injured his calf on Saturday night. May miss this week.

Simon Prestigiacomo (Collingwood) foot
Partial tear of the plantar fascia. A significant injury and may miss a couple of weeks.

I'm guessing that if both are out.. Wakes, Maxy & Harry will have their work cut out against Fev, Whit & Kennedy

Midfield pressure is still the key I think, they will miss Stevens a lot.. hopefully we should be able to strangle supply to their forwards.
