Spewin Orazio is injured (what a surprise). He could really add something to the shitness of their small forward set up this week

I would have been like "Wow, signed by Terry Wallace?" "Oh that spud from Carlton? Can i have a fridge magnet or something instead?"

'He's been walking around with his hand up': McRae

Collingwood coach Craig McRae discussed the selection headaches he's facing to media this morning ahead of the 30th Peter Mac Cup on Thursday night at the MCG against Carlton.

They let owies go and keep the donkey Fantasia

They let owies go and keep the donkey Fantasia

Their list is so stacked with small forwards that they can afford to let go of one that scored 30+ goals.

Vossy can identify growth within.

A few selection headaches there.

That’d be advocating half a rest the week after a bye?
Really?
Very Smokey.

You’re now half a rester!!
Not you, too, Scoey!!!!!

These guys are full time professional athletes and AFL Players. They are trained to do this.

I’d rather Elliott humming in September than April and if the fitness team feel this is the best path forward I’ll get behind it. If not so be it.

It’s a big challenge this week because as we get closer the anxiety is ratcheting up around Carlton’s position in the season which is well OTT given their strong % relative to losses (McClure suggested they’re in a worse spot than Melbourne on FC last night ). For me the thinking is there’s an element of smash in early to give them no mercy, but I think there’s real value to be had from the sub this week because at best I’m anticipating it’ll be close and more likely we’ll be chasing the game.

If we’re chasing it I’d rather be bringing Elliott into the contest in the 3rd Q than Long for example. I don’t envy the work that’ll go into this one psychologically because there will be a backs to the wall spike from Carlton and how you handle that as an opposition brings with it a different challenge to most weeks.

The depth would be enviable

Carlton w***ers having a cry on their board about Fly texting Voss last week. Impressive that a negative can be found over what was a decent gesture i thought. Cant even be a mate to a bloke you've spilt blood and tears with in 3 premierships in without these paranoid dickheads sooking it up in a sad circle jerk over it. Lets flog these irrelevant flogs and officially commence rebuild number 26 this century for them

Fly and Vossy are mates, but Fly won't be showing him any mercy this week.

We attack Voss because hes a dumb campaigner. They attack Fly about being too nice as they've go **** all else in the bullet chamber to go with. Losers

Footy doesn't work like that and never has. It's like saying Melbourne are a better team than us because they only lost by two points to the Giants and they smashed us by 52.

I've watched all of Carlton's losses and they have been very good for large periods of time in all of them. Do you really think we are a much better side than Hawthorn?

I hate when fans are too confident and disrespect the other team...

McRae will not be underestimating Carlton that's for sure... they play a style that gives Pies a bit of trouble... Pies need to be in their A game, Blues also step it up against the Pies.

And to lose by only 20 against Hawks is a good sign Carlton are not complete bad... they're lacking form for the entire game but they are competitive. Pies fans should not count this as a win.... it's going to be close.

Carlton will come out strong in the first half. They generally run out of legs late, so we just have to manage the minutes.

Give me strength. Pendles was semi rested in a the middle of three games close together. If Jamie needed some management he doesn’t need it off a bye.

Don’t be a rester.

he will be managed eventually anyway but would be less likely to be humming come September considering he turns 33 in late August
