Where and when: Optus Stadium, 3:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R20 2019, Carlton 11.9 (75) DEF BY West Coast 15.9 (99)
What it means for The Eagles: After dropping the first 3 games of the restarted season, the Eagles haven’t been beaten since. A win here could see them jump into the Top 4.
What it means for The Blues: The up and down Blues need a win to keep their flag hopes alive.
Motts Watch: Carlton. I’m looking for some sort of response from a team that went to sleep at quarter time against Hawthorn.
Mottsy’s Tip: I’m not going to tip against The Blues so you’re not going to believe me anyway.

FINAL TEAMS #AFLEaglesBlues
NO late changes for West Coast or Carlton.
Late change: Chaos Theory (CT) IN for the SCT team!
Been doing the heavy lifting of an admin for a while now, great to finally have him on board!
Couldn’t be happier to have him on board.
Thank you GD. Motts
It is great to be part of the wonderful team here at SCT.
Amazing performance from all the contributors to promptly upload all the information needed during this very difficult season.
Thank you.
Legend.
Thanks Mott’s
Well deserved Chaos.
Keep it up. We are only just over half way.
Eagle’s by a fair margin I fear. ( Sorry Motts )
My new Ruck recruit Nic Nat to star.
Best of luck everyone.*
* unless I’ve got you in a league match up 😉
Unsure whether Sholl will keep his place or not but need a downgrade option;
TU) Sholl
TD) Cottrell
Who does the community think will get the curnow tag (if he does do a tagging role)?
TU Gaff
TD Shuey
Comment Kelly/no tag
If he tags at all, it’ll be Kelly surely? Easily our most damaging CP player.
Random question and apologies for putting it on this thread.. But do we get 3 trades next week?
No byes so I’d say no.
Sorry Motts just checked
SC New Rule’s states..
4 trades have been added to a Max 34..
“Rounds 9-12 Trades: maximum of “3 ” trades per round”.
Looks like we CAN use 3 trades next week ( R12 )
Fantastic…I have been going hard thinking they have to do this. Back to 1450…..32k after my rd 3 debacle.
Treloar out
TU – Shuey (only 1 trade and save $$$)
TD – Oliver (2 trades needed)
Have a funny feeling Shannon Hurn is either gonna do a calf or go 130+.
130
keep an eye on yo yo today also

Rumours Grundy could be rested. Does that make Gawn to Goldy a worthwhile trade?
Ummmm ……. TrooRoo, Goldy? Is that a typo? 😉
… but in all seriousness, with Gawn missing this week Gawn/Goldy play the same amount of games over the rest of the season (North’s still got a bye remember and Melb doesn’t). Goldy’s doing great guns but i’d back Gawn to score more in the run home than Goldy. The only angle you could try and play which a few people mentioned above is the money side of it. Goldy could net you some cash against lesser rucks in the next few rounds and if Gawn comes back a little ginger or misses an extra week it could work out well over the few before switching back. That seems VERY much a crazy scheme and you’d only do it if you don’t need to trade elsewhere.
BTW, the earlier comment was in jest TrooRoo but the 3TD makes me think a few people didn’t get the gist of my comment. All good TrooRoo. Looking forward to watching OUR boys play tonight.
Love
Hi TrooRoo,
What rumours about Grundy? Apart from someone posting it in the teams thread I haven’t heard anything. What is the source?
PieNation on Twitter I believe
Buckley said Magpies ruckman Brodie Grundy was prepared for any extra physical treatment from Adelaide after the Crows targeted Melbourne’s Max Gawn in round 10.
“Brodes cops it every week, so it’s not something we are concerned about,” Buckley said.
“The physical game and the challenge is something Brodie has always risen to, so we have got no fears in that regard.”
Thanks TrooRoo.
Cottrell is looking to be played as a winger. Hopefully will get some decent time around the ball
He is defender in Supercoach.
Only 58% TOG to start the game, is getting his hands to the ball, but hasn’t really had the chance to dispose of it.
gotta hope Gawn is only out for 1 week
if he’s out for more , with his bye , hat’ll be an issue
i remember finishing inside the top 500 a few years ago
i had Sandilands
Freo said he would be out for 1 week
every week after that , Freo said 1 week , 1 week
7 weeks later i gave up on him & traded him out for finals
still filthy on that one & have been dubious on ruck injuries & time lines since then
Brain fade right now So do i Emergency Rivers and i put Haynes (not playing) on the field and if he scores good i keep the non playing player on the field if not i put in the player i want on the field?
yep
Good to see the umpiring is consistent. That free and 50 was atrocious.
feels weird with 5 games still to go in the round
Nic Nat going great.
Hurn maybe warming up.
Cripps and Doc still on their Bye by the looks
lift boys LIFT !
Cripps gett’n no love from the umps
was to be expected in WA
pittonet & martin in the rooms
Martin back to the bench but with ice
Cripps sitting forward a decent amount and commentators suggesting he not looking 100%
Nic Nat must be getting scored by Luke Darcy
gotta love Cripps
he was just born to play footy
no matter how much attention he gets from his opponents
he just keeps on hunting the footy & encouraging his team mates
damn inspirational guy
Half Time and its the Blues by 13 points. Jack Martin done for the day for Carlton, calf injury and on ice.

Cottee’s done more that Starcevich so I’m happy there. Trade paid off so far. Let’s hope he picks it up this 2nd half with Martin out for the day
martin done for the day , calf
Geez Catlton are copping some poor refs calls … bloody atrocious
Ur not wrong these umpires are crap
always gna be a 4 goal advantage interstate
same as vic clubs get when the interstate teams play here
What the hell happened to Docherty? His 185 seems like it happened a lifetime ago.
Shannon Hurn a trade out?
hurn & docarty gna struggle to be in the best 18
Geeze. Getting Hurn in was a really poor decision. Playing like an old man
time for eddie betts to show his class
yo yo just ton’d up
I thought it may have been Shue or Gaff.
He must of washed Nic Nat’s car this week. 😉
casbolt’s done nothing since 1/2 time
blues fwds calling for the deck chairs

proud of DeKoning – think he shows promise and not intimidated by NicNat at all
Cottrell wasn’t the most effective with his disposals and didn’t get many chances. Was around the contest a lot of the time but the ball never really came to him on the outside of the pack.
Only 1 tackle and 1 mark for the game, but was up against a good opposition midfield.
Hope he holds his spot and can show more in their game against Freo next week
