AFLW R8 - Carlton vs Gold Coast @Metricon - Fri 5:10pm - kruddler - 03-14-2021
After a solid effort against Freo, we should have an easier week this week against Gold Coast. However, we can not take them lightly as if we are any chance of making finals, we need to bury our next 2 opponents and increase our %.
Friday 'night' match is something a little different at this time of year and it will give us a short week, especially since we have to travel!
Not sure a 5-day break after a gruelling match is what we need right now, but if wanna contend, we can't make anymore excuses.
My predictions...
In: Walker
Out: Walker
I've been calling for Al Downies head the last few weeks and while she was far from impressive, her playing down back has freed up Harrington who has put in her best 2 games of the year courtesy of this.....so Downie stays....for now.

My ladder predictor for the next 2 weeks
Carl win against GC (30pts) & GWS (15pts) = 20 points @ 119%
NM lose against Freo (20) & Bris (20) = 20 points @ 127%
WB lose against Ade (10) but beat Tigers (15) = 20 points @ 102%
Mel lose against Bris (10) & Freo (10) = 20 points @ 119%
That takes care of spots 5-8 so if it goes to plan, it will be nothing but % that makes finals.
In the above scenario, i made up IMO likely scores of all games and then worked out % last it actually meant we make finals by 0.8%....which is about 2 behinds worth.
Shows how important % is from here!

I meant to say finals, instead of top 8.

We have to really put this mob to the sword if we are to have any sort of chance.
To be honest, I don't think we'll make it. We just don't have what it takes to get over the line in the close ones.

I don't think it is a coincidence. Kez has been freed up while Downie has been an effective defender against the taller forwards.

Exactly my point RR. Glad you've noticed as well.
