AFL Rd 9 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[madbluboy]

TDK was in the coaches votes against Darcy

His first quarter up forward was good and he played well after Darcy went off. Against Darcy in the ruck he was monstered.

[rocky]

Preuss will be a much more formidable adversary. A real mongrel. Wish he was playing for us.

[madbluboy]

That's not a knock on TDK as he was giving up 10kg.

Thinking about who we play on Greene, he is a very versatile and damaging player.
Going through our list thinking about a player we have who is similar.
I think this could be a job for Kennedy who can match him for strength and mobility.
I know it is something from left field but Greene is a left field type player can turn games very quickly.
Bring Dow in to help out in the midfield.
Where Greene goes Kennedy goes and it also might make Greene accountable because Kennedy too can be damaging.

I reckon Saad would be the best match up, can defend and will run off him.

[capcom]

Yep, someone to harass him and he was my first thought as well.

That could well be the right match up. Saad is strong at the ball, maneuverable and quick. On paper at least just what you need. I don't really like Kennedy in that role as Greene's quick thinking and agility might just be too much for him. Leave him to his more usual role.

I'd Like to think Saad will read the incoming ball and intercept it as he does week in week out. His anticipation and will to spoil is like no other in our team. He does this rarely giving away a free kick to the fwd.

Saad isnt great overhead and Greene for his inches is a strong mark and strong in the body. Saw Greene outmark Collingwoods Maynard for 4 quarters who is a strong unit and more physical than our blokes and it's one of Greene's strengths.
Double team Greene would be how I would play him and not allow him one on one.
Like Dusty, Degoey, Stringer etc once those types have you one on one and the delivery is reasonable then it's over...

Not sure there should be such an obsession with negating Greene. Yes, by all means put a hard tag on him and perhaps organise a hand over when Greene goes forward. But double-teaming him is going a bit far. Team defence should be able to give us most of what double-teaming would do as our intercept defenders will have a fair idea that Greene will attract the ball a lot. We should have an advantage at stoppages and we don't want to lose that. Getting it forward to H & Charlie should give the Giants enough to worry about. Cripps showed how to turn a double-team against the defensive team at stoppages by allowing a team mate to be loose.
