AFL Rd 5 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide in Adelaide

[PaulP]

You want Saad to be able to play with his usual anticipation and dash.  Can he do that if he’s trying to stick with a slippery customer?

Maybe Cerra on Rankine?

I guess that’s why Vossy and co are paid well to come up with the tactics and matchups ?

I was just thinking this may be one of those situations where Saad may have to sacrifice part of his game for the benefit of the team, as many players do in the course of the season. Rankine is in super form at the moment. Maybe Newman will do a great job, and it won't come to that.
