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

[Gointocarlton]

This will be a big test for Vossy and crew.

If we are going to be a Top 8 contender we need to bounce back
from that tripe last week. I stupidly thought the 10 goal floggings were gone.

I expect the MC to make minimal changes, they will put it on the players to turn it around.  Looking at the VFL Kemp or Cincotto for Saad.

Watched the Aints closely last week. Their half-backs get heaps of ball and set-up well. Especially Hill. Won't be high scoring because of the Lyon Press. They love the scrap for the ball and are very hard at it.

Worrying signs if we get another flogging,  probably good they have the WC seconds next week.

SH I get the "back the players in" and "put in on the players" approach but in my mind, it promotes mediocrity if you do it for a long time. Its a band-aid approach. We have been doing this for far too long and it becomes a cycle. That is:
- Lose badly
- Back the Players
- Bounce back for a win
- Win a few, lose a few
- Lose Badly
and so on.
At what point does the MC need to make a statement?
We have players playing very well in the 2's:
- Dow, Kemp, Cincotta, Fogarty, Binns)
We have absolute passengers week in week out in the 1s:
- Fisher Honey Plowman (albeit for one week) SOS (as hard as he tries and gets thrown around)
Nuffs enuff.
