AFL Rd 6 2026 In game Angst Carlton vs Collingwood

I really hate Thursday night football. This will probably be the only one I get to this year.
We have won only 2 Thursday night games, and of those, only the win against Essendon at the end of last year was truly satisfying.
Can we pull off an upset tonight? I hope so, but I am not confident. We simply do not appear to have addressed the reasons why they have been beating us lately.
Live Long and Prosper!

Could be the need for speed, or it could be that his form has dropped off. He is listed in this article as our biggest "slider":

We didn't bring in speed.

Last week we dropped.....
Weitering
Hayward
Hewett

and brought in....
Haynes
Williams
OKeefe

This week we dropped...
Okeefe
Boyd
Derkson

This week we brought in...
Dean
Hayward
Weitering


Net result over those 2 weeks is....
OUT: Hewett, Boyd, Derkson
IN: Wiliams, Haynes, Dean

That makes us slower overall as its 2 smalls and a tall out
and 1 small and 2 talls in.

@kruddler I think we are a bit too tall for my liking still, but Haynes has more athleticism than Okeefe and Derkson combined.  We only lost run on Boyd, and you could argue Hayward is like for like.

Its 2 glacial talls and 1 small running player for 2 talls that have better agility and speed, and 1 small that is likely not as quick as the one out, but has a lot more class and ability about him (just hasnt put it together yet).  To me it signals that we are swinging Lewis Young forward, and id be keeping an eye out for late changes.

Point is the same. More athletic talls or not, they are not smalls and they are certainly not capable of playing a midfield role that we took Hewett out of.
Yes, we can shuffle a little bit by adding Williams into the midfield more, but we need more help in the midfield, not less.

Hayward was out and then back in, so he doesn't 'add' anything since we dropped Hewett, he just missed a game.

There was 2-3 tackles in a row that the pies basically dropped the ball and it was play on, so not sure why we bother
