AFL Rd 4 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

I fully expect Clarko to do his homework on us. This is, thus far, not the same Kangabies as last year.

He'll probably look for a way to close down Saady realizing that he launches the bulk of offensive moves from D50.

Then he'll likely come up with ways to limit our midfield supply to our forwards, he'd know that if we get too much supply his defense won't be able to hold our two talls in particular.

Clod Cornes wrote a rather concerning article on us today. Of concern was our key indicators this year compared to last year... we're well down. Of course using those indicators as his central argument, he then went to town on concluding we're not nearly as good as being undefeated would suggest.

Matthew Lloyd on FC also showed we dont put teams away with stats on our last 5-6 games and said we need a 60 point win vs Nth to show we can bury teams. Jimmy Bartel mumbled something about us getting timid and trying to hold on when we are in front rather than continuing to attack and crush teams.
