AFL Rd 22 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

I couldn’t link it but they’re hoping Honeys available v pies and I suspected you’d bring in Newnes and sub in the “BluePendlebury”
??

The Blue Pendles wasnt great last week but its thin pickings in the twos so the sub role is the best I can do for him although those look away Pendles point guard passes might be handy vs Trac and the abominable red headed one....

The only look-away handballs that can be attributed to Setterfield is when he looks away as his opponent is handballed the ball, refusing to chase and/or tackle.

Dees are gettable. This is their 'bye-week' before a do or die clash with Lions in R23.

I'd rest TDK for sure, but run with Pitto/SOS combo and have Harry do F50 throw in duties for your 'half-a-ruck'.

I would want to be trying to find a settled side leading into finals (yes, we can definitely still make it) and mix and matching (ie Mirkov) is not going to help us achieve that.

Apparantly Martin and Stocker could be available this week.
Zac Williams will be available R23.

Reckon the Dees will be on the bounce back after the Pies debacle and that midfield of theirs will flog us.
I wouldnt even bother with selecting Williams or Martin........although I might do it just to get a photo of those two with McGovern and Marchbank in the same team, thats going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity and verging on a miracle, although I'd probably ask the AFL for two medi subs on the grounds of hardship and compassion.

If you keep dishing out these big hits you’ll end up before the MRO

Come what may, this little black duck will be 100% behind the boys this Saturday night. Meet the challenge. You bet I'm optimistic.

Baggers, I hope by the time this match starts I will be able to match your enthusiasm,  but at the moment my mind refuses to let go of the memory of those three quarters of putrescent rubbish this side presented to its loyal supporters last week.

Well if there is a time this club needs to dig deep and find something in the bowls of its guts this is it.
Talent thin
Form thin
Fitness thin

But hope flickers and while that flickers there's a path to glory

Yep, the spinnaker is hanging limply from the mast, it’s time for those available to look each other in the eye and stand fast.

in fairness to the boys we've played one quarter of scintillating football all season with 2 that were just non events, and another that was reasonably good.  The difference now is we are getting spanked in our down quarters and our best quarters are a bit meh.

I can't agree with the first claim, it's just a bit nugatory, we haven't been that bad!

The second claim is almost an affirmation, a declarative statement of fact.

We've certainly lost that ability to control tempo that we had earlier in the season, partly this will be teams examining the Voss tactics in detail and picking apart what works against us and what doesn't. Some of it is due to loss of foot soldiers and the resulting team imbalance.

Perhaps a bigger question remains, are the problem systematic or symptomatic?
