Peter Mac Cup
Tonight, traditional rivals Carlton and Collingwood will come together for one common cause – to support ground-breaking cancer research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. The Peter Mac Cup is the longest running charity match in VFL/AFL history, with the first clash taking place in 1993. This year is the 29th time the Cup is up for grabs.


Moment of Silence
Ahead of the coin toss, Carlton and Collingwood players, senior coaches and umpires will come together in the centre of the ground to form a linked circle and pay a silent tribute to those women who have lost their lives to gender-based violence. Currently one woman every four days has lost her life in 2024.


Richard Pratt Medal
The best player on the field will be awarded the Richard Pratt medal. The medal is awarded in honour of Pratt, a former player and President of Carlton, but also to raise awareness for prostate cancer and highlight the importance of early diagnosis.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Game of the round IMO.
Two old foes.

Feel as though the pies need to make a statement.
Lose this and 2024 can slip away very easily.

Think the blues get up though. Carlton by 20.

 

[Worm4]

According to pies supporters on the topic of who will be better in 2024, Carlton are no good and choke in big games. So Blues by 3 goals

 

[The 747]

This game is going to be huge

 

[Bagger72]

Go Baggers

 

[Bagger72]

We have a disjointed defence so those that should not be named are in for a red hot chance

 

[My Tilly]

Collingwood's press to go manic and suffocate Carlton into costly turnovers as they win by 27 points in front of 92,000.

Well look at the hot shot pulling up the big numbers - surprised you got 87.5k at MCG on Friday? Where 15k where Geelong supporters?

 

[RAPPA]

Collingwood’s smaller forwards a concern - Hill, Elliot, Mcreery and even Schultz I suspect could bob up with 2 or so goals. Carlton’s backline a worry. They’ll need to be a lot more efficient going forward. Gonna be a cracker game.

 

[My Tilly]

At least have the gall to use your original account opposed to sitting behind alias number 3.

I'm tipping 92k fans for this one.

 

[Zevon]

I wanted to make a dumb joke (very unlike me I know) and say that nobody’s expecting much of a build up for this game, but I can’t do it with a straight face. It’s going to be huge.

Gut feel is that the Blues have a slight edge going in to this one. Very hard to be confident though, just hope it’s a ripper and a close finish.

 

[Mr Meow]

Sounded like it. I haven't heard 70 thousand opposition fans cry that loudly for a long time.

 

[Mr Meow]

At least have the gall to use your original account opposed to sitting behind alias number 3.

I'm tipping 92k fans for this one.

Who is he originally? At least he's got the decimated defence excuse in early. Even though Collingwood have an average forward line anyway.

The loser of this one faces a significant challenge to make top 4, and top 2 could almost be ruled out.

 

[PP34]

Think on exposed form we should be winning.

But it’s impossible to ever be confident against Collingwood. Went into our first game against them in 2022 pretty confident and they beat us and really got their season going after that.

Pendles etc always seem to get up for these games.

Hoping we get McGovern back to deal with some of the pace they have up forward and Cerra who was really good against them last time.

Probably going to be similar to the Cats game with us having a lot of inside 50s versus the Pies. Need to capitalise on this.

 

[PerthBoy86]

If Carlton don't beat them now they won't again in 2024.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

The rivalry in footy.
90k+ at the ‘G. Finally both teams looking to have a significant say in the finals.
The team that wins is a contender, lose and you’re going to have to scrap for the rest of the year.
This is what footy is all about.
How goods that !!!

 

[Wosh]

Super pumped as a neutral for this game.

 

[Worm4]

If Carlton don't beat them now they won't again in 2024.

I actually don't understand that logic

 

[JackFlash]

I hope neither win, a draw would be good, but i suspect the Blues will win by 12 points

 

[NetworkNerd]

Carlton losing 2 of the past 3 and Collingwoods slow start have just taken the edge off this game slightly. I'll save my tip for later in the week when the teams come out

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Carlton already failed their big test last week. The season is done and doesn’t matter anymore.

 

[_jrtp09_]

I actually don't understand that logic

Would you like us to walk you through it or are you just trolling.

 

[T2B_]

If Carlton don't beat them now they won't again in 2024.

Bold to suggest Collingwood won't make finals but anything is possible I guess.

 

[Worm4]

Would you like us to walk you through it or are you just trolling.

Not trolling at all. Feel free to walk us through the logic that if Carlton doesn't beat pretty much a full strength Pies unit this week , why they can't beat them the second time around when the Blues will possibly have a stronger team ?

 

[cactuscall]

I actually don't understand that logic

That's because there isn't any. Carlton could win one or both or none.
