AFL Rd 14 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[ElwoodBlues1]

Jack has Balta covered and the latter will be missed in defence.

I'm a lot more confident now that Dusty and Soldo are out.  I think we'll get the job done but I would be more confident if we had Kemp or Stocker in the 22 in place of Boyd ... who will probably play a blinder now  :

Sam Durdin reminds of that other Sam; Rowe, who did a great job even if most supporters had their hearts in their mouths every time he got near the pill  :o 

Reckon Balta will play forward like in his previous game and ruck for 5 -10 mins a quarter only, Tigers will go with Tarrant, Grimes and Gibcus down back with Broad the floater. Harry has a real advantage in height providing we can get it down forward in a decent fashion. You would think Young will get Lynch and Plowman might get Reiwoldt...Balta doesnt really have a matchup unless our Jack was to follow him around but the Richmond player is about 3 yards quicker than any of our defenders and for that reason I dont see S.Durdin playing on him and I'm struggling to see a direct opponent other than Lynch for S.Durdin especially with Soldo now out and no resting true ruckman other than Nank who will ruck most of the game..
