Carlton Blues vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
It doesn’t get much bigger than this does it?
Two of the oldest rivals in football go head to head at the MCG in front of a huge crowd and the stakes could not be much bigger, especially for the Blues.
Michael Voss is learning what it’s like to be a Carlton coach when his team is losing with his side falling short in four of their last five and slipping outside of the eight.
Brownlow Medalist Patrick Cripps is struggling and the form of Coleman Medalist Harry McKay in front of goal is bordering on embarrassing.
On the flip side, Collingwood sits atop the ladder with just one loss in season 2023.
They have the Brownlow favourite in Nick Daicos and the deepest midfield in the competition.
The form of their younger players is evident but it is their older players like Mitchell, Pendlebury and Sidebottom that is giving them so much depth.
A win for Carlton would release the pressure valve massively and there is a part of me that think the Blues may just get up for this one despite the overwhelming evidence against that opinion in recent times.
The Pies have won seven of their last eight against Carlton by a margin of 1-39 and that’s how I envision this one playing out again.
