AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[Thryleon]

Sneaking into the 8 would be of some symbolic value but would we be a credible premiership contender? We hardly have the momentum of the Doggies in 2016. And Essendon is testament to the fact that making the 8 can create a “job done” mentality the following year.

The dogs sort of limped their way to the bye in 2016.  They needed the week off more than anyone and then went bang in the finals.

We are capable of doing it, but havent really shown that sort of form.  We are starting to show signs of being able to play 4 quarters of decent footy which is my only real concern for this season.
