AFL Rd 19 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast at marvel

Going into this game, we are 6th favourites for the flag!

We are currently 10th on the ladder......and haven't even been in the 8 for 10 weeks now.

They know we're coming....

After this game which we better win is our real test. Definitely sides that have a competitive ability to win games and do something comes finals time. Keep the lid on and win this game first. Week by week basis is the common phrase, right?

This is a great opportunity to bank another 4 or 5% which is generally pretty hard to do at this time of the year.  If Brisbane can touch up Geelong at the Gabba, we might close that gap a long way, and put some distance on the other two.

Foot to the pedal!

3 other sides with a draw, yes, but not really competing for spots with them.
Sydney are done.
Tigers are as good as done.
Geelong is the only one, but they'll probably be a few wins ahead of us making % irrelevent.

It’s unlikely that we could improve our percentage beyond Geelong’s in the event that we do end up on equal points.  Similarly, if Richmond match us for wins, they won’t make up the percentage difference.

We have to keep winning but the margins won’t mean much.  It’s points not percentage that will determine the eight.

I can't make any predictions about this season, games are as unpredictable as the long term effects of 5G!

The only prediction I'm game to make is that winning games of footy is the key to a good season  Smile

The best motivation for 'turning up to play' this Saturday.... they should be made to watch a replay of the West Coast game in Sydney from a couple of years ago where we lost the unlose-able game. Irony being - because of that dark day at the SCG, we are a better team because of it.

No flirting with form and farking around with experiments. Pick the best side possible and win by 1000 points if possible.

Agree -  unfortunately, we are not in a position to do anything but go hell-for-leather (literally) in every game we play over the next 6 weeks
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
