GOAL COLLINGWOOD

Pendelbury, straight out of the middle, finds Elliot on a lead. He kicks from 55m out and slams it home. Wowee, that was some sort of kick. He’s so important for the Pies.

GOAL CARLTON

GOAL OF THE DAY!
Bryce Gibbs, take a bow. He gathers possession on half-forward after a wonderful clearance, appears to be tackled by Adams – sells the handball dummy – runs from the now-released tackle and slams through a low goal to take the margin to 36 points!

Silvagni vs Cox again inside the Pies 50 – but the Carlton man wins out this time. As play continues the ball gets to Cripps. He’s running down the wing – he kicks long and finds Charlie Curnow inside 50! Curnow chips to Simpson, who in turn finds Casboult! He’ll be the one to have a shot. 30m out, slight angle.

Pies slow things down now, chip kicking their way around the ground. Things look like unfurling briefly when a bad kick from Howe doesn’t hit its target, but Ramsay is hardest at the ball, charging onto it and kicking it long to Mason Cox who stands tall and marks 15m out!

Pies need the quick reply – Fasolo marks on half-forward and kicks the ball deep. Dale Thomas floats across and takes yet ANOTHER intercept mark in defence!

GOAL CARLTON

SPS involved again! Gets his hands free in traffic around the ball, and finds Casboult, who swings around on his left and kicks a killer goal!

Dangerous period now for the Magpies. Throw-in in the Blues forward pocket, and they have all the momentum.

GOAL CARLTON

Casboult gets a free kick about 60 out from a ruck contest, and instantly slams it deep to a large pack. Every man goes up – except Charlie Curnow! The ball drops out over the back and he’s there to kick the easiest of goals! Clever stuff.

GOAL COLLINGWOOD

De Goey nabs his second and reels that margin back in to 18! Great use of strength there, outmuscling and outsmarting Silvagni to take the mark about 30 out and drill the easy kick.

Carlton earn the first shot on goal through Nick Graham. A great smother by Smedts on a kick out of defence gets the ball to Docherty, who composes himself to find Graham. He shoots from about 45 out… and nails the goal! Cracking stuff from Carlton. Graham is playing very well.

SPS on the boundary threads the needle to find Wright inbetween two defenders. He in turn sends it deep inside 50 for the Blues, but the Collingwood defence works it out.

Picked out unmarked Blues’ defenders on 3 or 4 occasions in that first half. Way, way too costly. Still a very close game though. Interesting half ahead!

Ben Reid has been nice and busy in the first half, which would encourage Collingwood supporters. He’s notched up 17 touches and 9 marks. Greenwood has also been serviceable while Treloar is trying hard. Skills really need to be tidied up by all if they’re to chase down this deficit.

Other than SPS, the Blues have had a number of solid contributors. Marc Murphy is running hard and has 19 touches at this stage, while Sam Kerridge is getting down and dirty with 6 early tackles. Kade Simpson and Sam Docherty are arguably the Blues most important players, and their early form has been very solid. Simpson has 11 disposals at 100% efficiency while Docherty has had 9 and is going at 88%. So much of the offense goes through those two, and with skills like that it’s easy to see why.

Absolutely. Don’t forget some of the younger recruits from other clubs! Marchbank & Plowman are fantastic players and still have ten years+ in front of them.

He’s just about BOG right now. If he keeps this up he’ll demand the nomination.
So – yes. Definitely yes.

Here’s a damning stat for you all – Collingwood have taken one mark inside 50 in that entire half. Carlton have taken eight. The delivery inside 50 from the Magpies has been downright awful til this point and they simply will not win if that area does not improve drastically. The Pies lead the clearance count – so they are getting to the ball – but they are butchering it far more than they should be.

Carlton lead by 18 points over Collingwood at the main break.

GOAL CARLTON

Four seconds to go and the Blues have stolen one!! All starts with a mammoth tackle by Silvagni on WHE on the wing. Murphy grabs the loose ball and is quick to play on as the Blues charge forward unmanned. Weitering is sent the ball as he runs into an open goalsquare and slams it through for a handy break at the half!

Another inside 50 from Collingwood heads straight to a Carlton defender. This is some shocking kicking we’re seeing here today from the Pies.
