It's coming though - our first quarter v the pussies was great without getting the rewards we deserved, and then the third quarter was even better.  I just hate the fact that we seem to condemn ourselves to at least one real crap quarter of slow footy every week.  The two last quarters we have played have been very average.

We should go into this game as favourites, and deservedly so IMO. I'm not sure there'll be any place to hide if we drop this one.

We are favourites paying $4.50 for a six goal win but this is going to be a tough match with Kelly and Whitfield to return.
Green and Coniglio will want improved performances in the middle.

This is one of those games where we should win well, but if you offered me a win by a narrow margin right now, I would take the 4 points and run.

Fair odds imo.....those names are impressive on paper and probably get paid more than the rest of their teammates put together but have never really impressed me in in terms of playing like their life depends on it and living up to the hype they seem to have created over the years. Its always been Ward, Davis and Greene in the main having to do the dirty work and be the heart and soul of that team while the big money earners look for the easy kick and glory play.
Hogan's another one who can look a million dollars but usually gives you a few rupees worth most weeks with the odd glory goal, hate to be a GWS supporter

Hope you're right - its a Blues Saturday from lunchtime onwards and we have Pizza and Beer set up for the day.

I'll be there at 12:05 with a six-pack of pies! Wink  ;D

Something of a danger game for us, the Giants are back at home and had a bad loss to the Eagles last week.

We cannot go into this one with any complacency.

Toby Greene to kick 5.

Re: AFL Rd 3 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS - WASurfer - 03-29-2023

Greene is the obvious difficult match up.....Newman or possibly Cowan?

We should be able to test their backline though if Himmelberg has to ruck....likely they'll play a second ruckman this week so he can play back.
