AFL Rd 7 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Mav]

Mirkov can bang bodies with Xerri and TDK can jump over Goldy and thats how I'd be playing it...

We should have Goldstein covered when he goes forward: Lewis Young stands at 2.01m, the same as Goldstein. It's in our interests to develop Young as quickly as possible as a tall defender. This is exactly the sort of challenge we should throw his way and I expect Goldstein will still beat him in a few one-on-one contests as he's a bigger body and has the benefit of years of AFL footy behind him. We just need to support Young with a bit of team defence: a few decent blocks wouldn't be a bad idea and putting pressure on the kick into F50 wouldn't be a bad idea either.
