Pendlebury and Sidebottom may miss for the Pies

We are not playing well enough as a collective unit.

As Bolts said we are making the simple look difficult. The team has no synergy at the minute but has potential this year to be really good if it can cut out the simple errors they keep making.

We've been playing well enough to win our last two contests.

Who's to think that we can't beat Collingwood who are not playing well and have their own injury problems, not me.

While I'd rather Jaksch play than Everitt, I think we now have a very well balanced side.

Looks like Jim has got his wish and Levi will be 2nd ruck.

Still think the Pies will win - less skill errors, more polish. On  the AFL website, their team list still has Toovey, Frost, Ben Reid, Treloar, Sidebottom, Greenwood, Fasolo, Howe.

I also think they will be more desperate to salvage their season.

Will be too strong for us.

Carlton

B: Zach Tuohy, Sam Rowe, Sam Docherty.
HB: Andrew Walker, Lachie Plowman, Dale Thomas.
C: Kade Simpson, Patrick Cripps, Jed Lamb.
HF: Liam Sumner, Levi Casboult, Matthew Wright.
F: Sam Kerridge, Simon White, Liam Jones.
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Bryce Gibbs, Marc Murphy.
Int: Ciaran Byrne, Dennis Armfield, Ed Curnow, Andrejs Everitt.

Emg: Dylan Buckley, Nick Graham, Michael Jamison.

In: Andrew Walker, Patrick Cripps, Andrejs Everitt.

Out: Jacob Weitering (Shoulder), Andrew Phillips (Hamstring), Nick Graham (Omitted)

A couple of these decisions make me scratch my head somewhat: I wouldn't have selected Walker just because I don't think he plays well 1st game back. he would do better getting some form and fitness in the VFL. Everitt I would also have still I the VFL, although the case for him is a little easier to make when he got so much of the ball last week.

I am a little surprised that Graham got dropped. He is not in his best form, but he did get votes last week. Not enough to keep Cripps out, I assume.
Phillips is a HUGE out. Kreuzer has a very poor record against Grundy, and the extra height of Cox makes him a difficult target. However, we hid that particular hamstring remarkably well. Nobody had any idea, unless he did it last night at training.
Weitering is another huge out, but one we were expecting.

I am also a little surprised that Jamo was named as emergency when he was concussed last week. I probably would not have played I'm at all this week.

Nichevo. Our Match Committee cearly has different thoughts to mine.

Collingwood

B: Alan Toovey, Jack Frost, Brayden Maynard.
HB: Adam Oxley, Ben Reid, Josh Smith.
C: Tim Broomhead, Adam Treloar, Steele Sidebottom.
HF: Jordan De Goey, Darcy Moore, Levi Greenwood.
F: Alex Fasolo, Mason Cox, Jeremy Howe.
Foll: Brodie Grundy, Scott Pendlebury, Jack Crisp.
Int: Jesse White, Jarryd Blair, James Aish, Ben Crocker.

Emg: Brent Macaffer, Tom Phillips, Travis Cloke.

In: Jesse White, James Aish, Ben Crocker.

Out: Nathan J. Brown (Omitted), Tom Langdon (Ankle), Ben Sinclair (Concussion)
 
A pity Brown was omitted. Decent forward usually get a few against him. But then, do we have any decent forwards?
Live Long and Prosper!

BB doesnt rate Graham it seems, just a top up player at best. This pleases me no end as I dont rate him either. Good VFL footballer, but thats it. He may come in if Kerro doesnt come up.
Also pleased Jamo didnt come in without warranting it. I really reckon he is done at AFL level, looked exhausted after evert contest.
Walker is an interesting selection. It must be his meticulous preparation, professionalism and dedication that makes him an "auto selection". Good luck son.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
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
