True they could have another bad run late. But I guess it's more, if Carlton are the real deal they should be beating Collingwood on the big stage when they're still not their 2023 best.Were Collingwood better late last year when we beat them in Rnd 20
If blues win this week, we can't even claim a top 8 scalp
If pies win, they can, legitimately .

Do you think Carlton will be better later in the year close to or at at full strength?
Like last week with Geelong/Carlton, both the BigFooty tipsters and the thread poll have a much higher proportion of people going with the Blues. But this time, the bookies also agree and have set Carlton as very marginal favourites. Which I think sounds about right (it was the same for the Carlton/GWS game).
I think the Blues will bounce back as they did after the Crows loss and get up in a close one. Collingwood don't have as many weapons up forward as Geelong, so will need all of their midfielders to match the Blues - a tough ask.

Collingwood playing smoke & mirrors with possible Degoey/Mitchell outs.
Blues need to show the manic defensive pressure every game, rather than wait for a close loss to react.
Shake the tree with immense pressure & like the GWS game, the fruit will fall!
Of they do, especially Sydney.
He said fans, which are different to members.
Sydney has a population of 5mil. If they were asked who they follow in the AFL, most would only know 5 teams, so they just say Sydney.
West Coast would have half of the Perth population of 2 million.
Collingwood would have fans in every city and would easily have 1 mill fans.

Okay get that, but that's not easily as substantiated or as good of a measure as paid members.

Given all our outs you'd think better. So maybe my comments were premature.

Right now Carlton are presenting an open goal to the opposition so all Collingwood have to do is win enough contested between the arcs ball to have some shots and if Carlton kick as badly as they did against Geelong - Collingwood wont even need umpire assistance like Geelong did to get close.
Looking forward to seeing Nick Daicos put in another goat performance - maybe he could run with Walsh for a few minutes a quarter and get some tips on what a real midfielder looks like.

The Blues are too predictable
The hit-outs go to Cripps, the inside 50 passes go to Curnow
If the Pies can't work something out here then the premiership defence is over

He'll be back before too long. Probably readjusting the old abacus just in time for a finals assault later in the year. He can't help himself

That’s amazing - thanks for sharing

I'd be more worried about the Pies defence, a straight kick by the Bombers in the last few munutes the Pies would've lost again.

Vossy to throw Curnow at FB, Weitering at FF and give McRae a surprised Pikachu face.
Blues will win by 5+ goals if they are serious
Whys that?? Carlton best is still to come from here. Collingwood at full strength. McGovern saad Cerra Fogarty and Motlop should all improve our team defence, transition and ability to lock the ball inside 50.

And this is why people get sucked into believing they are something they are not.
Collingwood are the reigning premiers. They only have to decide to show up and their best footy will be too much for the current media darlings.
Here's this guy death-riding us again. Are you sure you're not Fadge?
It doesn't matter if they're the reigning premiers. Why aren't they sitting 7-0 then if that mattered at all?

Didn't we just go toe to toe with your mob with half our best 22 out? Or just more trolling by yourself?
