This is and interesting game.
Collingwood have beaten the same two teams as what last year wooden spooners did. North and Port.
Carlton have beaten Richmond and had a training run against GC.

====================================================
This Friday night we will witness one of the most hyped Carlton versus Collingood games for quite some time. Both teams undefeated, both with a long and traditional rivalry.
If you read the papers, watch the TV and peruse the net you would be forgiven for thinking that Collingwood are an invincible winning machine. This is a team that s****ed through by the barest of margins for a second chance at a premiership against a club that has one premiership in over a century. Since then they have beaten Port Adelaide and North Melbourne, two teams currently in the bottom four and looking likely to stay there.
This scenario brings back some memories.
After Essendon convincingly won the 2000 premiership they won their first two rounds of the 2001 season. They were being praised as possibly the greatest team of all time, they seemed invincible.
The two teams they defeated in the first two round were ..... Port Adelaide and North Melbourne.
Essendon were due to play guess who in Round 3?
Yes, Carlton.
This was the game where the Blues had Silvagni, Bradley and Kouta as late withdrawals before the game. The Blues were given no chance at all against the invincible Bombers.
We won by 17 points!
Lets just see what happens on Friday night. No team is invincible.

If Anyone was gonna burst their bubble it was always gonna come down to a big Rivalry I would love it to be Essendon but I wouldn't mind if Carlton did it.
Having said that Pies by 6 goals.

Collingwood by 24pts in a good tough game, still think we are learning our game plan out.Wish we had a full side with Kreuzer back but we won't.Collingwood to hold the Blues at bay but Carlton to show that they have improved.

I'm looking forward to sit down with a few beers and watch this one. Friday night pizza tradition also. Yum.
Pies deserve to go in as favourites and should win. I don't think it will be as big a margin as the games last year though. Maybe 3-4 goals.
