I don't understand why Collingwood dropped Cox. He isn't a great player, but he is a much better 2nd ruck than any alternative.
Nichevo. Let them make a mistake for a change.

Quote of Napoleon: 'Never interrupt an enemy when he'd making a mistake'.
I believe he was seen doing fitness tests earlier in the week, so maybe he is carrying an injury.
Rain predicted tonight.  Cox is about as useful as a light pole in the wet, and they have plenty of size in the front half with McStay, Membrey and Mihochek.  McStay will 2nd ruck.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Watch old mate Membrey kick 4 tonight. Dines out on us.

And there smalls will cut us up again.

Needed a fit healthy and inform list to get over them - not happening tonight

Pies comfortably 25 plus

Elliot smashes us most times. Sidebottom will run around all night on his own and will gather 35-40 possessions.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

If we get belted by the traditional enemy then a few dominoes might start falling to reignite the club and start some off field changes. Id rather we fight it out and try and win but its a tough ask looking at both teams selected...

This mob prides itself on breaking our hearts.  Us to get away to an early lead, and them to reel us in, kicking a sealer at the death probably via the usual suspects.

Daicos brothers to have a day out.   Pendles and Sidebottom best game of the season.
Membrey will kick 3, Elliot 3, even Schulz loves a goal against us, pencil him in for 2, and from memory McStay has a great record against us too, so expect him to kick a couple along with Mihocek who normally doesnt blank against us either.

McReary will bully most of our younger players, their mids will likely have a day out too, and Moore will intercept all our errant forward entries for most of the game too easily.  TDK will have his hands full with Cameron. 

Maynard to do his bullying best and maim someone halfway through the second quarter sparking the come back. 

You know, I made a topic about who lifts us when we are down.  One thing the pies have in every position is a player thats capable of finding a way to impact the game right when its in the balance.  

Consider a close loss a win tonight, because we are not travelling well, and these guys are coming off the bye.

As much as I hope we win...I'd cop a close loss.
The one thing we can't afford is a total capitulation.
One that indicates the players may have lost the faith.

Gidday 3 Leos, yep, that is the best case scenario for the Dagpies, and well said. However...

...Let's consider a best case scenario for us. What we've been working hard at, and nearly succeeding, finally does click into place and our offensive game delivers reward for effort which is reflected on the scoreboard. And Walshy, Doc, Acres... and a couple of others finally find form. Then Charles hits his straps and kicks 6. Kemp continues with his good form and kicks another 5. Add to that TDK resting forward and kicking a couple along with small forwards (finally) chipping in with a few. In other words, we deliver on our potential and kick a winning score and hold them to a losing score.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It's going to he a bit wet and windy, ball on the ground a lot suits the Pies.
We need to use the ball well as otherwise they'll carve us up.
Big test tonight.
I am not sure why but I feel somewhat confident we can win this.
It's gut feel only, no reasoning behind it.
