One of the worst umpiring blunders this year, I could only think because it was N. Daicos caught HTB 15 metres out from goal that they didn’t call it, was blatant.
All can be covered. But they all are better then current players and take away from our team. Although Richards was depth at the start of the season he probably would find himself in best 22 even with a full squad now. He was elite in many stats as well. Reef McInnes was averaging 1.8 goals a game before going off with concussion which projects out to 40+ goals a season so he was looking like a useful replacement. Most of the others you dismissed are important structurally as well. When you are missing 10+ players plus useful backup from your 23 it is tough to cover.
The ball looked to be knocked out of his hands as the tackle was applied so I get that one. The 10 metre pass that resulted in a mark and goal was a momentum changer and a lot worse. Overall we lost fair and square though. Didn't change the result.

Injuries and umpiring only impacts your own team. Never the other team.

Boredom?
Maynard should get weeks for taking a dive.. Thought they were going to come down heavy on players faking
Thanks BT
Dude, it was a howler. There's nothing more to say about it.
As was the short pass that was paid a mark.
Name the 11 best 22 Carlton were missing, and the 6 best 22 Collingwood are currently missing.
You are stating Carlton had twice as many best 22 players missing, so this should be good.
And if you include Doherty who we know is out all season, then Collingwood get to include Murphy who is out all season (and beyond) as a listed player to begin the year.
Collingwood's injury crisis is much worse than the Blues one they were crying about
Collingwood last night
Pendlebury
DeGoey
Mitchell
Mihocek
Elliott
McStay
Cox
Murphy (as relevant to 2024 discussions as Doherty is to Carlton)
WHE
Their two leading goal kickers, plus another KPF, a decent KPD, a ruckman/forward and 3 of their best 4 midfielders. One generic flanker/utility (WHE) who doesn't move the needle much. So they were missing most of their KPP structure and midfield. Daicos forced into midfield took away their best defensive rebounder too.
Carlton at its worst stage
Cerra
McGovern
Saad
Doherty
Martin
Fogarty
Fantasia
Motlop
Their third best midfielder, a decent KPD, 2 strong rebounders/runners and 4 forward flankers/pockets of average-decent quality. So some good rebounders, just-okay flankers and a good midfielder missing.

Collingwoods injured players are all over 30 years old apart from McStay and DeGoey who are 28. The club decided to go into a season as the oldest playing list and now they are injured. Sorry, but you won't get any sympathy from any club in the AFL
Was interesting to watch the Collingwood presser, even though he coaches Collingwood McRae is very good at what he does.
Sycophantic reporters opened with two questions basically putting the loss down to injuries and McRae wasn't having it.
..."We lost because we didn't play four quarters, can't measure the impact of injuries so I look at what we can control..." (sic) Excellent work.
I am glad they lost

Yeah but they still really rely on those over 30s. That is unhealthy but for 2024 it is relevant.
As for the risk of those players getting injured and having no sympathy, I am fine with that. I just think structurally (KPPs), goal kicking wise (probably 3 of their best 4 goal kickers) and in the midfield it is right to say they are decimated. More so than Carlton were, who could deal with their long absentee list better. They had a bit of a rebounding deficiency but otherwise midfield, KPPs and goal kickers were kept in tact to a reasonable degree.

Weightman was our leading goalkicker by a large margin when he was injured.

Defence is easier to cover.
If blues had everyone fit but curnow and McKay blues wouldn’t win as many games as with their current injury list
You put Fantasia in there but not JSOS? What?
Carlton has had injury problems since the beginning of the year, Collingwood has been relatively more recently. So far this year we have had more games missed from our best 22, yet Collingwood supporters didn't want a bar of it. You downplaying our injuries is really odd though. Collingwood have been kissed on the d as far as injuries go in the past year and a bit... a month ago we kept on reading that DeGoey and Mitchell weren't such big losses because they were playing like crap. Now with a bit of bad luck, they're using the same excuses that they denied us.
Funny how that works.
