AFL Rd 23 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast at Gold Coast

[pinot]

Harry in
Fogarty out (soreness)

[WASurfer]

With no Silvagni, probably means both TDK and Pittonet play. We'd be crazy to ruck Harry part-time in first game back from a serious knee injury. Fog is a bit of a loss given his forward half pressure but still a strong lineup.

Emergencies:
Jordan Boyd
Ed Curnow
Josh Honey
Jack Silvagni
My money would be on Boyd. Given we have 2 rucks and Harry I cant see us going JSOS, Honey I don't rate and Ed I think is cooked.

Cant see Harry rucking much ever, think he would be eased back in down forward....seems Jack will probably struggle to get a game with a full list available and its appears the coach wants both TDK and Pittonet in the team and when you add Harry we start to look a bit toppy so unfortunately I think Jack might be waiting on injuries to crack a game.
Fogarty will be a loss as he has given us a different look but he is another who will fighting for his place when we have all troops reporting for duty...

Given GWS's lineup this week I could see the MC resting Pitto next week and trialling TDK with backup from JSOS and if need be Harry in the final round.

Fogs tackling is elite and is a huge loss.

But Harry averages two tackles a game to Fogs five.... so we are giving up a bit on forward tackling pressure.
Gold Coast play with three tall key defenders - Ballard, Collins and Andrew and need to cut Charlie some slack and drag a key back away from his zone. Despite the loss of Fogs we will still have four small forwards to their three small backs with Charlie freed up abit.

Cottrell and Cuningham both play their 50th game. Well done and good luck to both.

Fogarty is a huge loss, hopefully the forwards maintain the pressure that he added to the side 8 weeks ago.

Fantastic. We should win then.
Per my We win milestone games theory ?

Cottrell and Cuningham both play their 50th game. Well done and good luck to both.

And what different routes they’ve taken to get to their 50 game milestones.

Both would have wondering if they would get there.

Congratulations to Cuners and Cotters ?
