I think Harry has actually been a bit out of sorts the last couple of weeks, but yes, it would be either him or wakes who will make way for one of the emergencies.

It is a very cold wet day forecast, so im thinking we will see wakelin and richards dropped for Rhyce and Cox. No need for 2 ruckmen in the wet, especially against Carlton, and Cox can pinchit fine in the wet, which he did last time effectively by memory.

Also, wouldnt be suprised to see Clement, Presti or Harry dropped for Medhurst if it rains which is looking highly likely.

What are the chances of a quarter time or half time dust up?

This game is massive in the context of our final positioning.
As said many times, our destiny is in our own hands.
We win this, we take one step closer to a finals spot.
Percentage is cruical now, after last weeks debacle.

We have to be able to stretch them up forward, which means players such as Waite who can be dangerous up forward may have to be used down back.
If we play fast, efficient, smart football we should run all over Carlton and hopefully get some of that important percentage back in our hands.
GO PIES!

How small is small? 2 feet? What age are they?

Shower them with all things black and white and coach them to cheer for Collingwood in their nasally yankee accents when the red flag gets waved.

I think harry is skating on thin ice at the moment. It is fair to say Wakes has been in stellar form, whilst Harry has not come back from his injury in his best form. His shoulder seems to lack the strength to compete in the air, and he is a tad slower than usual at the moment.

If he gets beaten again today then he may be in trouble because Wakelin does not deserve to be dropped
