Pre-Game 2021 AFL Rnd 1: Richmond vs Carlton.

[ElwoodBlues1]

The Tigers are a pretty well oiled machine, so they should win, even with Williams playing. But he's almost certainly not playing, which should help their cause. Apart from a long term injury to Soldo, Houli and Prestia looking unlikely for this game.

Tigers by 4 goals.

Some talk Prestia might be ready to play, I think if we lose to Richmond by 4 goals that wont be seen as a great start to the season.
Thats just more of the same from previous years, we need to break this stranglehold they have over us and win the game. Starting with a loss just puts pressure back on the coach and is the first nail in his coffin IMHO.
At best a loss by a goal or less might be seen as progress but a 4-5 goal loss is a decent defeat and I cant see the rank and file accepting that result at all.
