1. We aren't playing them in Geelong.
2. They're entirely beatable if we bring it for more than 3 quarters...as other teams have done.
3. Clearly, we won't be favourites with the bookies.

Ed to Selwood....he's done it before and gets right under his skin.
Any chance one of Carroll or Kemp get selected in the squad this week? Their VFL games sounded pretty good from what I read.
Williams comes back in.

All good.
I think that last quarter resurgence against Freo might be the mental breakthrough our blokes needed...
It really was a terrific way to finish off the game.
How many here thought Freo were just going to waltz away with a 3-4 goal win at 3-4 time?
I did.
We played 2.5 good quarters against Freo, improve that to 3.5 qtrs. this week and we win.
TDK will be better for the Darcy beating.
Williams a big in and I reckon Martin is about to do something (he's bloody overdue).
Will Crippa be sidelined?
If so, I'd give Carroll a run.
Re: Pre game Promise AFL Rd 17 Carlton vs Geelong? - townsendcalling - 07-05-2021
Suggested Lineup
Newman Jones Plowman
Saad Weitering Williams
Walsh Curnow Newnes
SPS Casboult Silvagni
Betts McKay Martin
De Koning Dow Kennedy
I/C Fogarty (rotate throught the centre)
Williamson (rotate in the backline)
Owies (rotate in the forward line)
Stocker (rotate through the centre
Cottrell Medical sub (Don't be tempted to play debutantes as medical sub.....not fair)
Cripps out (inj) Williams in
Let the 'next gen' midfield* show what they have got against some experienced campaigners!! (*Do we forget Matt Kennedy is just 24 with only 53 games??)

Dangerfield starting to find top gear, Hawkins in AA form, Atkins is a real find, Rohan in career best form, balanced offence and defence, some quality ins with trades and kids. Matthew Scarlett can even get Henderson playing good footy.
Cats by 4 goals.

Goes without saying, the Cats are very warm favourites. Rightly so.
But let's not forget the Jabbers are vastly overrated and lack proven quality across the park, in particular, in KPP spots at both ends of the ground.
4 goals in Q1, 4 goals in 3 quarters thereafter. Lamentable.
Who was manning big Tom? James Stewart. Says it all.
Danger - way past his best imo. see attachment.
Rohan? Still hot or cold. Clearly, does better when opposition are mindful of Cameron and Hawkins first and foremost.
Even with that bag of 5, still only just shading Betts for goal output. (ditto Owies).
Their back line is dinosaur like...we have the pace/smarts up front to exploit that, provided we're competitive out of the middle.
Martin is the one who needs to shine (but is he carrying something?)
