VFL Rd 13: Northern Blues vs Collingwood

This week the Blues play the Meat Pies at the Holden Centre as sort of the Curtain Raiser at 1600 this Saturday. That way we may be able to see the game before the Blues - Pies game.
The Meat Pies have been winners lately, not as impressively as Sandringham, but winning all the same. As such the Blues are going to have play decently.
Live Long and Prosper!

Sheehan has done a hamstring and needs an operation. He will miss the rest of the season. It must put his place on the list in doubt.
Gorringe could be back for this game, but it looks like our list won't be improving for a while.
Live Long and Prosper!

Shocking luck for Sheehan.

Is it just me or is Josh Fraser ultra-negative with the little player reviews he does on the carlton website?

Always a little positive for each player followed by a pretty decent backhander.

Might be a good thing, I don't know, but he seems pretty difficult to please.

Mostly accurate and realistic IMO.

Seems that way to me.  Fraser is limited to a couple of sentences so he can't go into great detail but he does seem to summarise each player's performance very fairly as well as highlighting positives or areas requiring improvement.

We looks a little better on paper this week with Boekhorst and McKay named. However, I am not expecting much from McKay, maybe half a game. Having Tutt and Whiley back in helps our midfield. However, Gorringe was not named, so Korchek will be the 2nd ruckman. he didn't have a big game last week. However, he wasn't alone. Most of our forwards got cold as the ball didn't get down to them while Wood had a shocker. he was really towelled up last week. If we are to win, he needs to really lift. I can't see it: he has been playing like he is past it all season.
Smith might miss out: he had only a handful of possessions last week, although all of them were particularly effective. We can't afford a Carlton listed player to get less than 8 possessions.

Collingwood do look strong on paper. Hopefully that is deceptive. However, they have been playing well. Pity about that. Time to change that.
Live Long and Prosper!

It appears that our Development side plays Box Hill every 2nd week.

I do hope that Aurrichio is fit. He is the real ruckman in this side and it does need one. Nice to see Jayden Collins named.
Very nice to see Charlie Curnow named. Maybe he can get through training this week :) .

Smith is in the development side?  Not a good sign.

Agree - his time seems to be running out.
Reality always wins in the end.

I copped a bit of a whack here when I said he wouldn't make it after his first game for us. It's not something I do often either, I'm always for giving kids at least 2 years to find their feet but nothing about him was AFL standard that night.
