AFL Rd 21 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[crashlander]

Injuries continue to hurt us. We'll miss McGovern: he has been really strong of late.

Good timing at least. Marchbank slots in to his position pretty easily.

Been chipping in with a long range bomb goal in a few games of late.

Saints ins are good ones, was a fan of us drafting Hayes and he debuted very well until he was injured.
Losing McGovern makes it a bit harder with matchups and options, thought he did some good things vs Collingwood.
King, Membrey, Caminiti and Owens is the most potent forward line the Saints can field and this game has got a lot harder than it was meant to be with our injuries.
We should still win but I'm less confident given our outs and their ins and hopefully the latter are rusty or don't play.
Blues by 17 points in a tight game...

King still  in doubt and Membrey will be underdone. Need to shut their smalls Butler and Higgins.

We need to beat this mob to make our wins against the top 2 worthwhile.
I would rather beat these guys and have lost to PA and be injury free.
The way the ladder is this is one of those 8 point games.

[kruddler]

Don't worry about their forwards. If we do what we do, the ball shouldn't pass the middle. We should dominate the middle of the ground, even with our injuries.

As long as we kick it through the big ones, we should be ok.

[stevie-poo]

We have a habit of making Membrey look like Superman. Need to beat this mob!

[percy]

We win this with all the players currently unavailable and the sangers at nearly full strength, it will be an even better performance than last week….

Agree Stevie-Poo....he's torched us plenty of times in the past and seems to play way taller than he actually is. Kemp might even be given a shot at him. Their backline looks a bit short but they've been pretty tight regardless. Get plenty of ball in the middle and I reckon Charlie can get another handful.

Agree on Butler and Higgins who are very dangerous but Saad, Newman and Cincotta have all been in good form. Reckon Doc will play more midfield this week with Cerra, Walsh and Kennedy all out....with Fogarty and even Cunningham rotating through the middle at times. Even Acres can go into the middle with Cottrell and Hollands taking up the wing spots.
