Didnt it happen last year? It was the Sunday night game and it was awful weather, I think Eddie wanted compensation.

Yeah it was just over 40k from memory.

The MCG website has the expected attendance for this match at 47k, but if they're to get there then a lot of Collingwood supporters are going to have to attend as Carlton supporters don't go anymore (we were outnumbered on Saturday night by North fans!).

Are you sure it was a North fan?

Haven't seen one of those in a while.

In the matchday thread, I said as much a few minutes into the 2nd quarter just after he'd taken his 3rd contested mark and someone said he's "disinterested" (probably meaning "uninterested"). At that point, I thought he was close to our best player.

These are memes and people just take them on (not knowing they're memes - that's how memetics works). Examples of memes:

1. Henderson and Yarran aren't interested.
2. You bought a jeep??
3. Not happy Jan!
4. Barker can't coach (was already around BEFORE Malthouse was sakced).
5. Menzel must be playing hurt

There are lots of them if you look. They have no real basis, no one really knows where they came from - except maybe the commercial ones (2 & 3), but they're now in the culture.

True but Casboult is an okay ruckman and he needs to get more involved in the game. If he runs in the ruck 25%, big K would be forward. Wood is an average ruckman and a liability up forward. On Saturday we tried to press North and stop them moving the ball from defence quickly, but Wood was too slow to be effective up forward which gave North an out every time.

Hendo isn't disinterested, he is just playing like shit and lacking physicality. Play him in defence and pick Jaksch forward. If it isn't working, swap them around.

I don't think we need a particularly tall backline for this match, so as much as I love him, drop Rowe. He is out of form.

Jamison and Henderson as key backs (like it always should have been) with the usual blokes supporting them.

Casboult, Everitt and Jaksch forward.

Dunno what to do about Yarran. Can't see anything changing for him until he wants it to. All about attitude.

Graham an auto-selection if he is fit. Holman would be good to have in as a mid/fwd too.

So when he backs into packs, he's lacking physicality?

For someone who bags TC on other forums, you sure do post here a lot recently

Absolutely I did, and for good reason, but at least I will give the place a second go.

What was the reason?

There's not a lot of room around these parts for positivity

..they're playing like a completely different team lately.. ..cloke isn't that much of a loss, although his absence does hurt them.... ..but they're giving us a run for our money in the blind bombs and hospital handpasses stakes.. ..structures' breaking down, woeful skills etc..
