I can't think of a single reason as to how we win this game other than one....overconfidence on their part.
But it is Collingwood so the chances of that are slim.

The very least we can do though is make them earn it.
Hit them hard and make them fight for every possession and every goal.
Get up in their faces and pressure them for four quarters.......
And then I woke up :(  :(  :(

As supporters, this is really all we ask for, unconditional effort for 4 qtrs. The above doesnt take a huge amount of skill, just intent.
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

Even when we were winning wooden spoons, we were still winning the odd game we had no right too.

This could be one....most likely isn't, but 'could 'be.

One thing not being discussed is thast modern footy's extreme running style tactic has a significant impact when teams have a short break. We went from playing to the death against Norp to being run over by Port on an interstate trip just 5 days later.

This week we have 8 days to prepare for the Filth's who have only 6, let's hope WCE front up and push them to the death tonight.

Port also had a 5 day break.

Eagles lead by 8 at Half-time
Worst result for us would be a West Coast win

Im tired of rose colored glasses.
Voss has been a little unlucky with injuries and Elijah being a disappointment as he is exactly what we need right now.
Can't put that on Voss.
But Voss is far to stringent in his ways to loosen the group up to play more freely - you cant have Fogarty and Lord delivering majority of ball inside 50 when we have better kicks and fails to be brave.
Top bloke and want him at the club - taking over Lloyds job preferably. But a damn crap tactical coach.

We won't beat the Pies this week.
We need to get back to basics - teamwork, encouraging each other, tackling, pressure, commitment to the cause.
That's all I ask.

Boyd, Carroll, Moir are good kicks of the football... there is no excuse kicking the can down the road and not trying to fill this important role despite players missing.

Carroll is a good kick (most of the time) but his kicking action (heavily across the body most of the time) causes him to butcher the ball when he is off balance and under pressure - needs refinement.

I might change my mind later in the week when the dust settles from Thursdays abomination but right now I give us no chance against the Pies. As Pertz said, all we ask for is 4 qtrs of effort in the form of tackling, getting in their faces and taking away their space.

Moir has been held back because of his tank and consistency across 4 quarters, and I've totally agreed, but based on what I saw in the twos, he's having a crack both on the ball and up forward. The point with him is that if he get 6 kicks for a game and  4 of the are within 50, you'll get at least 3 goals. Beautiful off both sides and is a logical replacement for Jack Martin / Elija Holland when going.

Collingwood are ripe for a loss, they are resting players, playing a few duds and over using the ball playing cute football.
They were lucky Pendlebury held them together and id be tagging him this week and taking that luxury away from the Pies.
Nick Daicos wants the ball every foray forward and Pies have gone handball happy getting it to him, Mcrae got them back in the game in  second half by wanting sensible direct football and less hollywood stuff but I think we can punish them abit more than WC did if we can get Charlie firing and keep the turnovers low which is what Collingwood thrive on.
