Re: AFL Rd 4 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne - Thryleon - 04-04-2023
Elephant in room, acres last 2 weeks have been great.
LOB will likely come in, but im hoping walsh might be ready instead. Bring him back through the wings.

It seems that it is a pectoral injury so Acres was unlikely to play anyway.
The writing was on the wall when Plowman was suspended; don’t collide with an opponent, deliberately or accidentally.
Of course, you can still knee you opponent in the head if you’re attempting a mark ?

Love to have Walsh back but we should be able to take care of Nth and give him another week...

Except when they play the favourites for the wooden spoon ?
I don’t think that there are any certain wins now but we’d have to be completely discombobulated to lose this one.

Based on output from the VFL last week, you'd think Cuningham is in line for a callup sometime soon. Why not make him the sub this week? I don't think the MC will be so bold, and will err on the side of caution with him, but i'd give him a go.

Like last week, I don't think this will be a walk in the park. Plenty talk about North's limited defensive stocks. We've got to get the ball out and to the advantage of our fwds.. and through the big sticks. That's our achilles heel atm. V GWS we won the ruck, in the air, and clearances. Yet 61 i50 only nets 9 goals. If we repeat that, we'll be challenged.
We'll seriously miss Blacres and don't have a walk up replacement. Hopefully, someone will take their opportunity and shine (tip - consult with Newy).
An area we are showing improvement in, which gives me some confidence, is the ability to control the game when needed.
Go Blues.

North will make a game of it for about a half, then we'll pull away. Marvel suits us far more than a cow paddock that ended up being a good leveller. The great Brent Crosswell used to say he couldn't give a stuff about playing at Western Oval on a winter's day with two men and a dog in the crowd. However, give him ideal conditions in front of a packed house and he would turn it on. Our guys wouldn't have that attitude, however physiologically, playing under controlled conditions in front of 'the faithful' must have a positive effect!
