AFL Rd 9 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne - crashlander - 05-02-2024
A Thursday night game, which is a real pain for me.

Not looking good at this point. Not enough players contributing enough.

Team for tomorrow looks better than it has for a while, but it is still short of class:
B: Lachie Young Sam Durdin Harry Lemmey
HB: Billy Wilson Dom Akuei Brodie Kemp
C: Ollie Hollands Jaxon Binns Tom Phillips
HF: Ned Cahill Rob Monahan Ashton Moir
F: Liam McMahon Luke Nelson Alex Mirkov
R: Hudson O'Keefe Jack Carroll Zavier Maher
Int: Darcy Hogg Wil White Michael Lewis B Lambert Heath Ramshaw
Em: Archie Stevens Kristian Ferranato Jess Gedi Hayden Gill C Verrel L Prout Blake Kuipers Jack Lefroy
Alex Mirkov has really struggled since his return and is obviously a long way off the pace at the moment. On the other hand, he needs time on ground to get some form and fitness back.
Dom Akuei looks a long way off the pace. he has gone backwards and won't be on the list next year. Spots will be wanted, and he doesn't have the intensity to make it.
I'd be tempted to play Durdin next week for Young, if he gets through this game. he knows how to use his body, which Young doesn't.
Kemp also has a chance to impress: there is a spot there if he does the right thing.
I like what I see from Rob Monahan, but he is a long way off at the moment, especially in the key forward spot. He does have the pace and the intensity to make it.

There was one passage of play where he flat out looked at the ball and didn't pick it up thinking another Carlton player would (might have been Cottrell maybe?). He was clearly closer to the footy and should have attacked it and ran off with it, instead, he filled his shorts.

Vossy reckons in his presser we should get back Martin, Gov and Marchbank. Three very important ins (cant believe Im saying that about Marchbank).

Pittonet needs to rough up Gawn and Charlie owes us a big game.

Yep, no to Marchbank... remember the last time he came in underdone! Mistakes galore.

They would both get injured running through an Auskick Banner.

I don't expect to win but I expect a lot of improvement in work rate, selection, and on field set up. A case of "how we play" (process) moreso than the results.
