Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 4: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[ElwoodBlues1]

GC are playing a different brand of footy and look better without Lynch, more spread of goalkickers and their no name mids are getting under the guard of the teams they have played. They are using players like Burgess and Wright to provide a contest and dragging key defenders away from play, we need to put the clamps on Harbrow too, maybe Polson can be used to nullify him.
Witts will win the ruck but we need to not underestimate Fiorini, Martin, Bowes etc......Swallow is playing a different role now from the little bits I have watched and is providing the blocks/shepherds etc and manning up opposing teams better players rather than chasing kicks himself.
They will be a lot quicker especially on their home deck and we better not be top heavy and include slower players.....sunny and 25 degrees so we dont need an oversupply of ruckman to subdue Witts. I'd rather we have plenty of mids to rotate and shark the hitouts than waste our time trying to win the ruck duels...

Very winnable game IMO and if we are the real deal in terms of progressing we should win well and not just fall over the line......this a game we can kick 100 points
and kick start the season....if we can match the GC effort our extra talent should be the difference.
