AFL Rd 16 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[Mav]

Same tactics as vs Freo, win the midfield, dominate possession and if the ball doesnt get down to King he cant mark it or sling tackle anyone either. Think we are much better than the Saints and I'd be saving Weitering for Hawkins and his buddy Cameron..

Can’t recall the talking head who said it on radio (though it was probably Nick Riewoldt), but the comment was made that King needs to add more to his game rather than just being a jump and mark exponent. The comparison was made that Josh Kennedy’s body really should see him in retirement but he is still kicking goals because he has great forward craft.

If anyone can play him back into form, it's a team that uses Young as their loose man and plowman and Kemp as their kpps.  :

Cerra will return not sure who will go out for him.

Reckon Kempy has done more than enough to take over the Marchbank role

So we move on...
Everything being well this is a game we should win.

There are a couple of issues we need to watch.
As much as the coaches will be aware of it, there will be an issue of keeping focus.
We'll get a fair few kudos in the AFL world this week.
Even if the players don't get too exposed to this publicity, they know they've done good.

Added to that....we played a very physical game yesterday.
We no doubt set ourselves for a big effort...and produced.
These things sometimes result in a bit of a let down in the following game.

Now some will suggest Voss and his coaching team won't let that happen.
But it's a test of progress.
Another challenge.
Another layer.
Hopefully we're up to the task.

Wayne Carey wrote about it and suggested that King should get on the phone to Nick.

King is a very unreliable kick for goal as well, I see a few Saints games during the year as my daughters inlaws are mad keen fans and I would agree King doesnt do enough body wise to make his life easier and manufacture some marks or create opportunties for his smaller teammates. Stkilda also have another problem that Jack Higgins is used as their second marking target/leadup player so King gets double teamed. Membrey is used more as a roaming forward and trouble shooter down back so the Saints need another true KP Forward to see the best of King. ie Kennedy has Darling and good KP Forwards hunt in pairs...

If we play the way we did against Freo, we will smash St Kilda.
If we don't, will open the door for them to find form and will be all over us like a rash.
Based on what I have seen from us this year, I doubt very much Vossy and Crippa will permit the latter to happen.

Hopefully those days are well behind us.

Saints will bring back Ryder, Brad Hill and maybe Higgins.  I think there will also be some backlash from their insipid effort in Sydney.  I expect they will start with steam coming out of their ears. 

This game is far from a certainty, as indeed are most games.  This season, any side that takes their foot off the pedal can get rolled by anyone (except probably NM....). I hope the team prepare with this in mind. 

It's a bit hard to believe that at 10-4, we are still not locked in for a finals berth.  With the run home we have, we just have to win games like this one.

[Mav]

Win this one and the games against WCE & the Crows and we’re finals bound. And it’s very unlikely that we won’t chalk up some wins in the remaining games.
