- Collingwood has gained 16 of the final 17 on the MCG.
- Collingwood have crushed Carlton in seven of the final eight matchups.
- The underdog has coated the road in eight straight day video games between the 2 groups.
THE MATCH-UP
It’s a mammoth Sunday afternoon conflict on the MCG as two heated rivals go head-to-head with two very disparate outlooks on their seasons: Carlton sit ninth and seem like a sorry excuse for a soccer membership, whereas the top-of-the-ladder Pies are completely flying.
Collingwood are profitable video games from each spot possible and sit first on the AFL ladder at 8-1, whereas Carlton is among the season’s largest disappointments, unable to attain – regardless of having the previous two Coleman medallists of their ahead line – whereas trying dispirited and uninspired at 4-4-1.
The Blues gained’t fancy their possibilities towards the Pies both – regardless of an sickness sweeping the Collingwood listing – as irrespective of the shape their heated rival is in, the Pies have managed to win seven of the previous eight matchups between the 2 golf equipment.
If there’s any solace to take forward of one other lacklustre Carlton efficiency it’s that the underdog has at the very least coated the road in eight of the previous day matches the 2 groups have performed.
If there was ever a stat that spoke loudly in regards to the sheer ineptitude of Carlton’s assault it’s that seven of their previous eight video games on the MCG have hit the full factors below.
The Pies are sharing the scoring load and placing up 91.3 factors a contest (sixth within the AFL) whereas the Blues are ranked tenth within the comp at 81.8 factors an outing.
Expect the ferocity of the Pies to ship the Blues for a loop as Carlton as soon as once more battle to look remotely able to placing up a profitable complete.
GIVING FANS THE BLUES
Carlton have been rightly battered about greater than a tennis ball in an Lleyton Hewitt-Andre Agassi five-setter: they’ve been inept and incohesive whereas enjoying an incoherent model of soccer.
Numerous that comes right down to skipper Patrick Cripps and his working mates Sam Walsh and Adam Cerra: the Blues have little drawback getting quite a lot of the ball, however with seemingly zero plan as to what to do with it, they’ve spent the yr butchering possession after possession.
Cripps and Walsh have a terrific historical past of getting the tablet towards Collingwood: however can they translate that into making their crew higher?
Cripps has had 25+ disposals in 9 of his final 10 dwelling video games, however the Blues will want way over that to have a hope towards Collingwood.
As for Walsh, he’s gone for 35+ touches in his final two towards the Pies: Carlton will want a repeat efficiency with some added effectivity on Sunday.
The Carlton ahead line, in the meantime, shouldn’t be the headache that it’s. Charlie Curnow is more than pleased to demolish dangerous groups however goes MIA when confronted with robust opposition, whereas Harry McKay seems to be like he’s making an attempt to kick a beachball again into the gang each time he takes a set shot.
Curnow has had 3+ targets in eight of his final 9 day video games in Victoria, whereas Harry has gone for two+ majors in 4 straight versus the Pies. Carlton want each to step up and go large to have a sniff at profitable.
FLAMING HOT PIES
Collingwood have been as wildly spectacular as Carlton have been wildly horrible this season. It doesn’t matter the lead, it feels just like the Pies will chase it down.
Craig McRae’s crew have an egalitarian strategy to profitable as properly: if it’s not Brody Mihocek kicking targets, it’s Ash Johnson, or Jamie Elliott, or Jack Ginnivan or their midfielders like Jordan de Goey stepping up when wanted. That midfield is ridiculous too: Tom Mitchell, Josh Daicos, Steele Sidebottom and the listing goes on.
Still: Mihocek has 2+ targets in 5 of the final six video games, whereas Ginnivan has 2+ in three of the previous 4 on the ‘G, and Elliott has 2+ in nine of the last 11 games the Pies have played at the MCG as favourite.
THE BIT WHERE WE GUSH ABOUT NICK DAICOS
The heading says it all: it’s onerous to not gush in regards to the Son of the Macedonian Marvel. He was tagged by the Swans two weeks in the past and was held to ‘only’ 25 touches… then bounced again with 41 and he’s now had 40+ disposals in three of his final 5 video games.
Can play a bit.
He’s averaging virtually 35 disposals a recreation in his second yr. He’s outstanding. He’s particular. And he’ll run rings round a Carlton midfield that wouldn’t know what a defensive midfield possession entailed if it bumped into them like a Mack truck.
The Mack truck will as a substitute be Nick Daicos.
THE PICK
Carlton are a multitude, whereas Collingwood have a aptitude and can to win that has even impartial followers appreciating what they do and the way they play.
Still, in relation to Carlton versus Collingwood on the MCG, count on a good, robust affair, with the Blues persevering with the underdog streak of overlaying the road.
Collingwood ought to nonetheless win – that’s what they do – however Carlton have to point out a touch of satisfaction this week or it is going to gloves off time and difficult questions might be requested of your entire membership.
