Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 5: Carlton vs St. Kilda

The 'Aints beat Richmond earlier today.

Tigers have now officially lost their aura.

Saints will try to be physical against us. I think a lot of us walk that little bit taller with Pittonet around.

Saints are a bit different in that they run two genuine ruckman in Ryder and Marshall which will test Pittonet.
Also they rest the ruckman down forward rather than bench them so they have two talls with King and the ruckman plus Membrey down forward.
Not so keen on Plowman having to take Membrey if that setup continues.
I'm hoping Hill and Jones dont play as they were injured during the Tigers game...bit surprised Butler has done so well given I wasnt that impressed with him at Richmond.
Cripps will have a tough time vs Steele who seems to enjoy the challenge on our skipper so we need Cuningham, Setterfield etc to backup from the bombers game.
Very interesting game given Ratten is coaching the Saints and they have started the season well....was confident vs the bombers but this more 50/50 IMO..

Yep, agree.

Ryder didn't play yesterday. "Managed"

[ElwoodBlues1]

Had some value from their imports, Hill, Jones, Howard and Butler all in their best vs the Tigers and Ratten even has Carlisle playing well..

[capcom]

More confident against them than any other team we've played

[PaulP]

Saints are currently top 8 and in good form. A very 50/50 game.

We will need to bring the Geelong from not the Essendon form to get across the line against this nob. Helps that we're at the 'G'. Also nice to be the underdogs again
