AFL Rd 9 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Thryleon]

They're not good enough to pick up the slack when talls are down.
Brisbanes Cameron and Bailey kicked 8 goals between them while their talls were ineffectual. They picked up the slack.
If Charlie and H are tied down we are screwed as small forwards simply not good enough to step up.
We either accept mediocrity or gun for a flag.

Not sure what relevance the opposition smalls have to ours.  They got different delivery from a better performing team.
