Rd 23: Pre Game Thread: Carlton vs Sydney - PaulP - 08-20-2017
Saturday Aug 26, 2017
16:35 AEST
SCG
This is it folks - last game for the year.
Clearly flag favorites along with the Crows, they will take some beating on their own ground.
On the one hand, the smaller dimensions of the SCG should suit our negating game style, but more bodies closer together will definitely help the Swans. Bigger, stronger, more experienced all over the park.
Then there's the Mills revenge factor.
Swans by six goals.

Not without a chance despite the opposition being the red hot flag favourites. Was it late last year that we got within a goal at the SCG? Never know your luck in the big smoke.
Blues by 3pts.

That would be a huge way to finish the year, and would provide enough "emotional nourishment" to last the whole off season.
Can't see it happening myself. But then, I couldn't see the Hawks victory either.

I'm actually looking forward to this game now!

Lamb.....reckon they will climb into him at every opportunity and defuse any effect he might have on any player he has targeted...
Ryan Crowley was the master of the heavy tag until the umpires got sick of the sideshow and allowed opposition players to beat up on him...

Zac Jones is one love tap to the guts off suspension (if he doesn't go this week). I'd be niggling the cr@p out of him and reminding him that he can't do anything about it.

The round following us beating them was the start of their run. They will want to demolish us to pay us back for that loss. Can't see us getting within 5 goals.

It will be a real test for us without doubt. I can't see us taking a backward step and I'm sure we will see some fireworks.

Smedts will probably miss so it most likely comes down to Graham or Cunningham.
Graham kicked a few goals and had 24 touches in the VFL, Cunningham had 20 so it's a toss up.
If Cunningham gets the nod it's not good news for Nick, I'd probably go with Cunningham.
Can't see us winning but confidence is a wonderful thing, I don't think it will be a blow out, looking forward to Liam V Buddy.
