Dow dominated in the praccy and kicked four goals against Ninthmond has to be in contention.
Couldnt do worse than Fisher and Martin

Pittonet will probably get a game too, dont see too many changes other than that.

Martin is an absolute p1ss taker. We all keep waiting for him to play consistent footy but reality is he is what he is and what you see is what you get.
Injury prone inconsistent with cameo moments in games to keep the coaches interested. I’ve seen enough.

Some people just want to be the interval clown, not the headline act!

I think we will win this one particularly if the Filth soften them up for us.

Martin in the middle as a shock trooper or down forward for 10 minutes could be what we need as some X factor.
Fisher, Owies, Motlop doesn't seem to be working out as a small forward setup and we have become too Charlie and Harry centric...
Re: AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong - Mav - 03-17-2023
To be fair, just about all of the small forward types were battling to get up for Rd 1 after injuries. A few players who had an interrupted preseason were underwhelming last night, on both sides.
