It seems that Matt Kennedy will miss the game so Dow may get his opportunity after all. 

Big shoes to fill Paddy - give it your best shot!

Opportunity is knocking, Paddy... step up to the plate, and, good luck.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

He must have great endurance and he’s using that to great effect when everyone else is flagging.

Cottrell is among the fittest blokes at the club.
I think his first time trial at the club he beat the Curnows (which was unheard of).
They showed a stat during the last game of distance covered. Walsh was #1 with something like 16.5km. Cottrell was #2 with 16.4km....next best was a couple of opposition players at least 1km behind.

Walsh is basically known as the best runner in the game, and cottrell is basically his equal.

So yeah.....good tank. ;)

Prefer Trudegeon to Dow tbh - he is more like for like. I hope Paddy puts on a show but damn would like to see him lay a few tackles. Bit of a liability that boy

Trudgeon is on the VFL list only.

Cottrell smashes them over 2km, Walsh said as much SEN last Sat, said he is by far the best runner at the club. Having said that, lets be clear, running ability and football ability are two different things.

Will be interesting to see how many that get to the open training session this morning. Team on fire, I'd expect a very healthy, enthusiastic gathering!!!

I am starting to feel nervous about the clash with the Pies. Us being a more favourite to win gives us everything to lose and the Pies everything to gain. I hope we are switched on for these feckers. On a good day, they can be a nightmares.

Just remember its not just sport its entertainment.

If the afl want a tight competition they'll engineer an outcome they want.

Fremantle just rolled the Demons. That shows not a single side is safe. Not based on ladder position. Not based on points on the board, or percentage. Yesterday doesn’t matter. The top ladder holders are like always, are the sides that will be hunted. Those that need to be pulled closer to the entire field. This is a game to build real character. This win could be the best one of the season. The trend of the round doesn’t look good. Bring it on guys. This is the litmus test we need. I hope Voss has the guys ready for the challenge. You haven’t been a failure this season. Just get the job done, no matter what it takes. This game will draw a huge crowd. Maybe put us back into future block buster games. I am keen to see this game, but still nervous on the result. Let’s hope for a result we need.

Only if we're all wearing our tinfoil hats  :)

I think that the AFL might need some help with their engineering; the results aren't going to plan ...

I remember the days of the old 'mid season slump'. ;D
We'd be going like a 'house on fire' and then we'd have a down patch when we'd drop a couple of games before getting back on track.
I suspect we'll experience that at some stage this year.
Hopefully it's not against this mob.

It really is a case of coming 'switched on' and ready to play.
This will be a good test.
Hopefully we pass.

On my birthday last year, carlton defeated Collingwood in an unlikely win to provide a great gift.

Today is my mates birthday who is a Collingwood fan. Hopefully the roles are not reversed....

I think the old mid-season slump probably was at least partly attributable to lower players' salaries and laxer gambling scrutiny in the past. A well-timed bet against the team when it was riding high helped to make sure the trip was first-rate.

Imagine the odds that bookies would have offered for Sydney to beat Carlton by more than 39.5 points in 1995 as Carlton was steam-rolling towards a flag. And the odds in the following week for St Kilda to beat Carlton by more than 39.5 points would have been only slightly lower. Then, the odds of Carlton thrashing the Hawks by more than 100 points in the week after those 2 losses would have been pretty juicy as well. Not to say that the boys did back against themselves, but such swings these days would certainly be investigated more thoroughly than your average murder.
