Pre game Premonitions: AFL 2021 Rd 14: Carlton vs GWS - crashlander - 06-13-2021
At this point it appears that we play GWS in Sydney next weekend. The game is presently set for Saturday Night at 19:25 and will probably be on TV.
It is reasonable to assume that this will go on as planned, but the AFL will do what it does.
[1] Historically we have performed poorly after the bye.
[2] We now have the review hanging over our heads like the Sword of Damocles.
[3] We have structural problems that our MC seem more than willing to accentuate.
[4] We have GWS underachieving this year as well and wanting very badly to make a point. They have an ordinary coach who wants to remain. They have a list of stars who have not performed to expectation.
[5] We are on TV. That itself is something of a surprise, as we have been on TV a lot more this year than I expected. However, we rarely win when we are on TV.
[6] We are playing guys who have not regained form and fitness through the VFL and who haven't got back to the best.
I hate to say it, but that bodes very poorly.

Interested in this game to see a reaction. We could smash them after everything that has gone on, or just turn our toes up.

In the immortal words of that airhead idiot Gwyneth Paltrow, I've had a "concious uncoupling" with my club for the time being

GWS don't look anything special today.
We'll likely smash them, then get rubbished in the media for the next week for going off half-cocked with a review. :

I thought they'd be a lot better with Greene back in, but they look flat and fumbly IMO.

I have read encouraging comments r.e. Sawyer’s ability to drive cultural change. We seem to have addressed our off field woes and are in a sound financial position, now it’s time to get the football dept firing.
