Re: AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - Lods - 08-20-2022
I've kind of made peace with the result either way.
Win, lose or draw (that'd still be a good result
), as long as they bring effort this afternoon I'm happy with the season.Should we lose, we were obviously not ready, and it's doubtful we'd have lasted deep into the finals anyway.
"But the finals experience would be invaluable. You just don't get that in regular round games" some might say.
Seriously :
Final round of the year, no 'next time' for us if we lose
A huge build up
A packed MCG
Fanatical supporters
Two teams with everything to play for...
Do folks really think that because a game in two weeks time has 'finals' written alongside it that it can match what's going to happen this afternoon.
The only games that will come close are the final two weeks of the season.

I just hope the boys haven't played this game in their minds all week.
We absolutely MUST get off to a great start.

We haven't been in this position since 2013 when we knocked off Port to play finals.
Our team was on the slide then and we didn't really know it.

Feels like Grand Final day from another era.
Will be in front of the box with beers and chips and get to watch the blues play in the twos followed by the big match.
Exciting day ahead. Go blues....

I expect to win , been a wasted season otherwise. Won't be happy finishing ninth given the talent we have assembled on paper and the start to the season we had.

Outside of COVID restrictions, this is the first Carlton / Collingwood game I won't be going to in several years, and I'm missing the reserves as well!

I reckopn there's been a little bit of game playing and it wouldn't surprise to see late changes for both sides.
