AFL Rd 1 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[ElwoodBlues1]

I suspect Gov is a certainty, as much as he may be a whipping boy for some fans, he's an experienced and talented footballer who reads the game well. I suspect Weiters and Young would have him in the D50 without hesitation.

With the new sub rule I expect two genuine rucks, Pitto and TDK.

I can't be sure about Martin, I'd like to see him string together some good games at the lower level, but there might well be a few selection surprises.

Reckon both will play for sure along with Pittonet...McGoverns only problem might be finding a suitable opponent given the Tigers go small and only play Lynch and Reiwoldt as talls down forward most weeks. Martin goes ok first up from a spell and plays ok vs the Tigers, and even though I have been a harsh critic Id be shocked if he wasnt in the team for this game.
