This is a physical game but I think our match had more pressure.
Re: AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong - madbluboy - 03-17-2023
Cameron was a metre off the mark but the ump wouldn't call play on so the Collingwood defender was anchored to his spot. Joke of a rule.
Re: AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong - kruddler - 03-18-2023
Geelong with their best 2 defenders down (and no longer Selwood in the middle) have got to be cherry ripe for Charlie and Harry to dominate. As long as we can clear the ball out of the middle and give them half a chance up forward.

Hope you're right, I'll be there. I agree with you and don't know why!
Based on just that first hit-out, the Dagpies have got me flummoxed. They're never out of any game. Their game style is simple and they seem to be always dangerous, no matter the score line.

I agree with you and don't know why!I dont know why either but I think what I saw Thurs was a group (players and coaches) who won't give up and stay in the fight until the end irrespective of the opposition. I also think we will no longer get a massive run of unanswered goals (like Geel did last night) scored against us. I hope I'm right, its the next phase of our development/journey.

For me some changes or tweaks are needed this week.
In Pittonet C Durdin Dow
Out Martin Owies L O'Brien
I'm assuming Moo was not injured as per the AFL stats sheet and will play who along with Dutchy held their own and stay in the side.
Martin and Owies just didn't (and dont) do enough so outski. Durds takes Owies spot. LOB did nothing wrong but he makes wake for Dow as the sub this week (reward for a good 2's performance).
We play two rucks with one resting in the fwd line to stretch the defence. With Tommy D in the fwd line, we have 3 big mobile and athletic fwds who must surely stretch defences.
PS There is Kemp to consider as well.
SOS can do SOS things and be a swingman (fwd and back not ruck) if needed.
I can see myself losing patience with Acres very quickly, he had several howlers on Thurs so first game and I'll give him a break but I expected an experienced player like that to come in firing on all cylinders not cough and splutter.
Blues by a couple in a ferocious contest with a Geel side who will be snarling.

A game of good defence was our game
A game of crap defence was last night game.

I take it that you'd like Kemp to be considered G2C ;D
I can't really see him displacing any of our defenders from Round 1 but I think that he'd make an ideal sub.
Dow has to be a chance after his VFL performance but who would he replace? Martin and Fisher were ordinary but our forwards didn't get many opportunities with Richmond locking the ball in their front half. Rather than dropping a forward, perhaps we need to add some grunt to our link up players.
Re: AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong - pew2 - 03-18-2023
swing the axe no more second chances ,fischer ,owens,martin out and can we try Dow as a half fwd tagging opposition quickest running defender (thought)
Re: AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong - rocky - 03-18-2023
If Dow had a good game then bring him in for Owies. Not a fan of Owies never have been and I think he's had plenty of opportunities. If not Dow then Carroll or Durdin will do. In fact bring both of them in and get rid of Martin who has been a major disappointment. Fisher isn't doing too much but his football brain gets him another crack. Maybe he needs a quick run on the ball to get him involved. Talking about football brains, O'Brien, who hasn't got one, stays as the sub.
I was ready to give Ed C the Tijuana as well but his last quarter was pretty good so maybe the run helped him? I'd give him a tagging job on Guthrie. their best player IMO.
Don't think we need Pitto in for the pussies as I don't rate their rucks and they pretty much suit TDK.
If the baby blues are fit they get another run but should be rested thereafter.
We're a real chance against the cats without Stewart maybe SDK and an underdone Hawkins. Having said that they'll probably smash us, as is normally the case.
