Collingwood would be deservedly starting as favorites, but not by much IMO. I think some in the AFL world would be spooked by the Hawthorn game, which is not unreasonable. I give us a slight chance, but we need 4 quarters of good footy and 18/23 contributors. And if it comes down to "taking our moments" hopefully we're good enough - the Pies have a few players who are good in that space.
They’ve taken their moments against us when it counts, same story for the last 5 games or so. We definitely owe them a 4 quarter performance, for our own sanity if nothing else.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 18 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn
Last post by Shakin77 -
Sort of thought that while the Hawks were the better side, we played ok up until 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

The Ginnivan goal, the free to Gunstan for high contact after he fell and finally the Ison error with 6 minutes to go with his kick missing Walsh took all the air out of the game.   2 or 3 inside 50 entries resulted in a Hawthorn uncontested marks, which given the conditions was a poor outcome.

Credit to Hawthorn.   They own us in recent times

Does anyone think we can beat Collingwood?
North nearly did as did the GC. 6 and 4pts. GC  couldn't beat time with a stick right now.

We should have beat them last time. We play with essentially 17 on the  ground given Elijah Hollands issues, lead all game, usual last qtr crash back then, then found a bit only to lose with a kick after the siren. Don't overrate Collingwood.

IF we display the form prior to the Richmond game, we win.
