AFL Rd 13 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon

[Baggers]

Carroll was panicky against the pies and definitely due a rest, whilst Motlop simply hasn’t done enough since making the side

Cottrell, Dow and Stocker are very stiff and far from our worst

Agree, to a degree, Big 6.

Carroll was clearly overwhelmed but will benefit from the experience. Motlop was way off what was needed but will also benefit from the experience and realise what is required.

Unfortunately Stocker is out of form and just looks to need more confidence. Cottrell just didn't do his job well enough against the Dagpies.

Not at all surprised that Dow was dropped.

Seems Boyd has been recalled for a specific job. This kid has two huge things going for him... attitude and courage, as does Stocker but Stocks seems down on form/confidence. In time, hopefully, both will become highly effective players for us.
