2018 Rd 18: Pre Game Passion: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[crashlander]

Next Saturday night on the Gold Coast we play the Suns, the worst two teams in the competition. Unfortunately, we appear to be worse than the Suns, who had their best ever win yesterday against Sydney.
I can't see us win, but who knows? If we had some players available, we might make it close. But with 2 more definitely out, I don't like our chances.

Fisher will be a big loss.

We will lose ... nothing more certain IMO

Just a question of by how many?

Yep it may get nasty , Gold Coast at home won't be east at all.

By 4 at minimum

8-10, with no names tearing us a new one and we won't kick 60 points.

Their tall backs to dominate our limp forwards, Casboult (if he plays)  to be pathetic on May.

Boltons zone defence to once again be utterly useless... Please go one on one Bolts,  go basic.

[Thryleon]

Gold Coast aren't exactly great, and it's effectively a dead rubber.  Add gc having a win filling them with confidence plus no lynch...

I reckon we'll win next week.  We simply have to.

I reckon we'll knock off the Bulldogs in round 22 too.

I'd like to try SPS in a set role,  as a small defender in the McLeod role.  He looks lost to me.  He could use his disposal and ball finding in the role,  he's a  good tackler but I doubt his tank will ever permit him to be a full time mid.  Quality ball use from defence would really help us.

Agreed.

He should be playing Simpson's role and Kade pushed up the ground.
