AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda - crashlander - 04-13-2023
We're slated to play the 'Aints at Marvel at 15:20 on Sunday 23rd April.
It will be interesting as we have a long break, while the 'Aints play Collingwood this week.

The Saints have stated that Steele will be back for this game after a broken clavicle.

Saints have been playing without their two key forwards as well in King and Membrey, hopefully they are still out especially the latter who seems to like playing us...

Who worries me are the small pests like Higgins, Butler, Billings (who he plays), Gresham and newbies like (not smalls but) Caminiti and Phillipou who can all get under our guard. If we could get more from Durdin, Motlop, Owies, Fisher, etc as a collective (as opposed to one bobbing up while the others don't), we wouldn't lose many games I reckon.

They will also have Steele back who is probably what Glen Jakovich was to Wayne Carey and Cripps always seems to battle to get the better of him. Saying all that I expect once again that Charlie and Harry should be too much for the Saints and our overall midfield group should dominate the likes of Crouch, Ross etc...
Marshall is having a great season so quelling his influence will have a big impact on the game.... a good test for the coach this game will be in terms of getting the chess pieces right.

The Saints will bring heat to the ball, and that will be the end for Carlton.

Ross Lyon will be watching our game tonight pissing his pants at how easy next week will be.

I cannot think of a single positive out of this game so far, not bloody one.
