Re: AFL Rd 24 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS - Lods - 08-19-2023
There are plusses and minuses for both approaches.
On the one hand we want to maintain momentum.
On the other hand with a final spot secured it gives us an opportunity to give a good rest to our wounded.
Leave it to the coaches and fitness crew to decide whether we go full-on or not.

If we keep winning and make it to the grand final, we will equal our 2000 record of 13 wins in a row.
If we win the grand final, we will equal our record from 1995.
Lets just keep winning....

Last game before finals and with Harry rusty - need to play our best 22 to build synergy and have two weeks up our sleeve to iron out any problems that may arise. All I know whoever is going to be left out is seriously unlucky.

Keep Walsh in cotton wool. He's coming from a long way back. Changes to be minimal in my view.
Outs: Cripps (managed with ribs), Hollands (rested), E. Curnow (sub, one more swansong as a sub)
Ins: Cerra, Docherty

Docherty was already in. If Walsh is good to go, he must have a run. It's the perfect scenario for him. Have a serious hit out and then have 2 weeks to overcome the 'back after a long break' soreness.

We have basically locked up a home final.
The only we we cannot get a home final is if.....
1. We lose to GWS
and
2. St. Kilda beat Geelong
and
3. Sydney beat Melbourne
and
4. The margin Sydney win by combined with the margin we lose by >70 points or so. eg. if we lose by 30 and Swans win by 40 (70 point total) then their % takes them above us.
If any one of them doesn't happen, we have a home final.
UNLESS....
1. Swans beat Dees
2. Hawks beat Dees
3. We beat GWS
Then we will finish 4th and NOT get a home final (1st week at least) but we will get a double chance and a home final in our next match, win or lose.

I also named him, as a replacement winger for Hollands. It seems I'm running out of names now. If Walsh is fit and ready enough, it seems he'll be in.

Weitering, Newman, Kemp, Saad, Marchbank, Fisher, Cincotta as our back seven against GC. How does McGovern get back in? Who does he come in for, outside of injury?

Yep, Marchbank at his best would probably hold his spot but he's still a little bit off that pace, and McGovern must come back in.
