AFL Rd 9 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[LordLucifer]

I'm not sure I can watch another rubbish effort from our mob, in fact I'm so disillusioned right now that I'm close to putting the cue in the rack for 2023.

[member=42]LordLucifer[/member] Better get your eyes checked, it's a fork not a queue, potting must be a real problem but the break would be spectacular!

Owies, Kennedy, Boyd (or Cowan) and Cottrell in for me for Newman (assuming suspension stays), Honey, Hollands (needs a rest) and Ed.....Dow as the sub. Might even need to get TDK back in there against English and Lobb.

Assuming he is not injured I suspect Young will stay in to cover the space needed by Lobb and English as they push forward.

TDK is not your D50 type, he works at the other end, but if he does come in he will free up Pitto to close up space.

Members and supporters made a statement Friday on what we believe is an acceptable minimal standard and failed to deliver against the Lions - hope these softies dont make the same mistake twice.

Last 6 results against the dogs
2022 - W 102 to 90
2021 - L 107 to 91
2020 - W 103 to 51
2019 - L 103 to 100
2019 - W 101 to 57
2018 - L 66 to 49

Don't like the pattern. Hope we can break the cycle

I am tipping Bulldogs 101 to Blues 75.

A friend of mine sent me a message today.
"How the hell am i supposed to tip your game this week?"

As if i've got an answer to that!

I responded with something like the following.

If we pick TDK, don't pick us.
If we pick Honey, don't pick us.
If we pick Kennedy as the sub again, don't pick us.
If any of the above happen, we have learned nothing.

We have been too slow, too tall and picking too many non-contributors.
We need to fix these things at the selection table if we want to move forward.

Will we win if all of the above goes the way i suggest? Who the hell knows, but it will certainly help.
