The story so far: If you wrote a wish list at the beginning of the year, Carlton’s efforts would be buried under the pile of “Ne-Wish-For-For-Fort” while Carlingwood surrendered everything you wanted. Mathematically, Blues has a pulse sitting in the 11th place of its season and there is three to three games, but as a realistic man writing. Magpies is on top and 10 points second. They are a lock for the first two.

History says: Blues put an admiral fight in Collingwood a 4th round of loss, and four points ahead of part -time in wet conditions in MCG. However, as the whole year, after a long break, they left their legs and fell 17 points. These teams organized two crackers last year, and two times Magpies had three points and six points. Magpies has a mental edge.

The place where the game was won or disappeared: Carlton’s only hope is to win the midfield war and to pull the ball forward. Magpies, who helped her reasons, comes in with a tall defender Darcy Moore, a tall defensive player who has lost Billy Frampton and brought Brayden Maynard. But Magpies, half -back intersection, especially Moore’s masters, and then recover quickly. Pies will have a more mobile forward line following last week’s failed four -toned attempt. It’s easy to see Jamie Elliott running amok. Then the Blues Daicos brothers should include Scott Pendlebury and Jack Crisp.
In the selection table: Michael Voss shook the ax, Jordan Boyd, Alex Cincotta, Billy Wilson and Lewis Young’i while dropping Blues, Jack Silvagni (groin pain) and Adam Saad (jolt) lost. Voss brought Lachlan Cowan, Ashton Moir, Matthew Carroll, Francis Evans, Harry O’Farrell and Marc Pittonet. Fear is not names to hit an opposition.
Magpies made four changes, dropped Charlie Dean, and Edward Allan (disease), Charlie West (foot pain) and Sidele Sidebottom (disease) lost. They brought Brayden Maynard, Roan Steele, Tom Mitchell and Wil Parker. Mitchell is slow, but how much is it to the bulky blue? Single Achilles Heel is a small rear line.

I love my friend (Michael Voss) and I will always do it, but this is one of the fact that we know that we have not sent each other, we do not call each other, and we just started to work. When we play Carlton, we show a version of a video of this 100 -year opponent and what it means for our club.
What does experts say: The elderly delivery is unanimously accepted with Collingwood support. Magpies won the victory of 14. There is no surprise there.
