Collingwood would be deservedly starting as favorites, but not by much IMO. I think some in the AFL world would be spooked by the Hawthorn game, which is not unreasonable. I give us a slight chance, but we need 4 quarters of good footy and 18/23 contributors. And if it comes down to "taking our moments" hopefully we're good enough - the Pies have a few players who are good in that space.
They’ve taken their moments against us when it counts, same story for the last 5 games or so. We definitely owe them a 4 quarter performance, for our own sanity if nothing else.
Agree. We absolutely can beat Collingwood, the issue is mental not talent IMO. Play to win as previously mentioned, take our chances and we win. They aren't that good overall talent  but they are seasoned and disciplined.

What's the odds Frampton gets off? (Is it a Slam Dunk?)
He did! Hard to believe but got the Collingwood discount....lol.
Love the headline "Shock verdict as Tribunal finds Pie tackled dangerously... but overturns his ban anyway".

I prefer specialist KP forwards rather than manufactured ones...we need to recruit a young KP who is a good kick at U18 level and doesn't need remedial work.
Brendon Fevola comes to mind...we don't have that player like a Fevola, Gunston, Elliott, Robbie Gray who can kick that set shot match winner in the final seconds under pressure.

I know this is not exactly what you were talking about and the following data doesn't take into account complete misses (look at you Harry) but point remains, i think Kemp is being a bit harshly judged.

these stats not counting shots that go on the full or some that drop short mean they are not a true measure of goal kicking accuracy.

if you can find one that does registar all the other ‘misses’ you will find they are worlds apart

I literally said that in the post.
Not like you to respond to things without reading them (or is it?)

I did read it and wasn't having a go at your post just stating without those stats the comparison is pointless.  Your last sentence says 'the point remains' - my post was inferring the stats provided mean nothing so cant be used to demonstrate Kemps kicking.
   
You do realise this is a forum with differing opinions ::)

Thank you.  Less than 50% scoring accuracy = not good enough.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Mids like Cripps and Daicos i can cut some slack to as their main role is not to kick goals. There damage is down up the field and to help feed the forwards

There is no such excuse for full time forwards to not have much higher levels of accuracy and should be their number one skill. Its so deflating to miss getable goals. Costs more games imo then any other single factor.

What is King for GC - hardly see him miss.

A worry for me is Kemp is number 1 at carlton for marks inside 50 but only ranks average by AFL standards.

Nick Daicos is No 1 for scoring involvements and possessions, hard to be No 1 in everything....
