AFL Rd 22 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[shawny]

Game will be won/lost in the midfield and having a back up ruckman in Pit going against Meek is a major advantage for them. Pit got thrashed against Cameron last week and i think Meek will prove to be even harder. Their mid's bat deep and run hard and those sorts of mixes really trouble our midfield group. Not having Cottrell further compounds the issue of lack of outside run. On top of this their small dangerous forwards will trouble us as most smalls do.

Unless it buckets down on Sunday we are going to be up against it and likely finals hopes over come Sunday night. 

HTF does it look like this bottom 4 team at the start of 2024 overtaken us.

Unbelievable!

So likely Cotts and Cez out - Zac and Bot in.

Kennedy goes sub then I give up.

Jack Carroll that's his nickname.

Fair enough.
I'd be considering Cowan, who was emergency last weekend. Carroll did OK, but his opponent was BOG.

Agree i prefer to keep getting games into Cowan. I see a long future for this kid.

[Blue Moon]

I would think that Williams and Kennedy will go into the starting 22, with Carroll the likely sub.

Nic Newman's 100th game as a Blue. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion. We don't have a good record in milestone matches in recent years. Back in the day, we NEVER lost a milestone game.

There is going to be 50 Carlton legends forming a guard of honour before the match. Time for us to stand up.

Maybe we could 'low key' swap jumpers and get an extra key defender out there to help us out.
