Lord before Hewett
Reidy before O'Keefe
Derksen forward-Kemp back
Flynn Young in- Byrne a few games in the 'reserves'
Yep Hayward -VFL...he needs to find his mojo

Daicos????

J Daicos needs manning up too, have this funny feeling your boy Billy Wilson might get picked this week...

He might,  but I'm not sure he's a 'minder'..he's more of a Saad type of half back
I wonder whether they might try something really outrageous with the brothers like Frank... at least on Josh.
Problem is, I'm not sure Frank has the 'tank.'

Everyone who can be available are available. Big test for the firsts and seconds.

No Sidebottom for the Pies joining DeGoey on the injured list, Nick Daicos and Pendlebury are still sore too so we really dont have any excuses and should win this week and not just fall in either.

They are so well coached EB and are system based where they dont fall to bits like we do with injuries. Howe will blanket Harry and our small and medium forwards will need to have big nights which against the likes of Maynaud, Quaynor is unlikely. 

Cameron will make Pits life hard and give there mids a decent run at it and up forward despite all the negative media you watch us make the likes of Membrey, Elliott and Schutz look like superstars AGAIN!

The irony is the footballing ability of the fielded teams in this game is very even IMO however the mental toughness, game plan levers, structures and overall preparation and match day coaching is worlds apart.

:D  8)  Agree on Frank, think we might need him down forward.

I think they will only play 2 talls in McStay and Membrey so with Weitering and Dean in, can we finally get rid of Young? Probably be Derksen though and fair enough he didn't have a great game. However, I remain in hope re Young.
I'd give Kemp a kick up the arse and drop him. Hasn't played well all year and seriously annoyed me last week with his long range shot in the last which was never going to get there and burned about 3 mins off the clock. Idiot. Bring in Flynn young.
O'Keeffe out. We're actually destroying this kid's confidence by playing him when he's out of form. Stupid. Don't need a tall in. It's going to be wet again. Just rest Pitto with Harry when required (I know this will never happen, but I live in hope, again)
Lord may be a bit left field so don't think they'll pull the trigger.
Think Hayward will definitely come back. They'll want to pump up one of the recruits (a club success story kind of thing IMO)
Hopefully George is back maybe at the expense of Cerra?
Still think B Wilson is a great option for project Daicos, but know in my heart of hearts our MC have no gumption in these matters. I'll be happy if they have some sort of plan.
Plenty of options.
Wish we would've whinged about the umpires last game, in the media this week. We need all the help we can get.
I've also backed the filth on Sportsbet in desperation

[5] Who do we play on Daicos? We really need a guy to shadow him into oblivion. Letting him run around on his own, and we're doomed. Who?

I know he's short of a run, but i'd love to see Cottrell get a gig and tag Nick.

Cottrell likes it rough.....Nick doesn't.
Cottrell (when match fit) can run all day and match anyone.
With a bit of luck, Cottrell could hurt him by drifting forward too.

I doubt we'd be so bold, but i think he's played 2 games now.
I'm tipping it would catch Nick by surprise to say the least.

Pies $1.52 on TAB - that's way overs IMO.

Too mentally strong for us and big reason why they have beaten us 19 out of the last 23 times.

McCrae will outcoach our man and will come up with a system to beat us regardless who they field. They got within a goal of Freo who are a top 4 team by trying to strangle them and it will be like shelling peas for him to come up with tactics for the 16th placed team to get the job done. As usual Voss will have no answers to counter it on match day. 

Add in Nicks 100 game and they will get the 4 points.

I’m tipping the Pies, just hoping I’ve got it wrong.

Cookie, Won't get a better chance of beating the Pies with their average form and key players missing or sore. We have to win this one or else I can see the pressure on the club ramping up both internal and external.

Agree EB, time to stand up and be counted and buck the trend.
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

Just had another look at the ins and outs. Thinking about it you are right. With Moore, DeGoey and Sidebottom all out this certainly lifts our chances. We must dominate the stoppages and stop their ball movement. Not sure we can do this all game. Let’s see what we can do with our best 22 available so I’ll go for a roughie and change my tip.

Im tipping us by 7-10 points, wont be pretty football and the Pies will come home well like they usually do but I think we can defend the fort a bit better in this game considering they are not a high scoring team and we have Weitering back to General the back half troops.
