AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Lods]

Personally, I'm far more concerned about how good the Aints look. A sustained 4 qtr effort/intensity... sustained and 4 qtr efforts are not our strong suits. You could easily see us playing well for our usual 2 1/2 qtrs or 3 and let them off the leash for a qtr or so to establish, say, a 4 goal lead and that ends up being the final margin. Far from optimistic about this one.

I think it's actually set up for us to know how good we really are.
We wont come with any expectation other than this will be a hard slog.
We need to apply pressure from the start.
Another performance like Thursday night and this will be looking like a very long and frustrating year.
