Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations

[PassIt2Carrots]

So did Charlie miss playing the VFL and the main game due to being an emergency?

If this is so then I think Bolts might give him a go up forward and just shift Cas up to CHF.

Syd are a relative tall team aren't they? Who will stand Franklin?

Hmmm, Rowe or Jamo?? LOL. Maybe give the keys to Weitering and see how well he can drive.

Why would C.Curnow get a game, when nothing he has done yet even closely resembles a KPF at AFL level?

If they change the structure this week, which I don't think they will, bring in Gorringe, at least he's kicked some goals at VFL level against AFL listed opponents and has the body to cope with a seasoned team like Sydney.

If C.Curnow was to play he might be forward but not KP yet. Mightn't be quite ready for that.

With Sydney pounded Collingwood into the SCG turf, our task is looking somewhat more difficult....
However, given our performance a couple of weeks back, maybe we were not that bad either.

Could get ugly but the Swans might be more complacent after belting the Pies....

Rottingwood started last season stinking the place up... but not to this extent.

How sweet it is!

This could be ugly for us. 

Meanwhile the Essendon score flattered them, and Sydney could easily be up by more.

Even if we match them in other areas of the ground we do not have a forward line capable of kicking a winning score.
The best we can hope for is a four quarter effort, but it's going to be a frustrating year if that's our best hope.

in your opinion. Simple fact is if a few of our 'forwards' had kicked straighter Thursday night we would have won comfortably.

A lot can change in a week.....

Our losing score against Richmond was higher than the scores managed by four of the teams that played on Saturday.

We need to be scoring around 100 points in each game, and we should have managed that on Thursday.  I don't think that Bolton is concerned about who kicks the goals, it's more about how we score.  If we can lock the ball inside the forward 50, as we did against Richmond, the goals will come.
