AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

Let's be brutally honest with ourselves here ...... if we offer up the same woeful first half to the Pies like we did against the Dogs, it will well & truly be over at half-time.

They will make us pay for any lack of pressure, onfield indiscretions, skill errors & inaccurate kicking for goal.

Once they get a good lead, they pressure the opposition hard and never give them any opportunity of clawing their way back into the game.

The only way to beat them is attack, attack and then keep attacking. No lead is insurmountable in their eyes, when an opposition team tries to run the clock down or play safe, they smell the blood in the water and come at them even harder.

We have defenders coming out of our ying-yang so its time to rethink our options. Saad & Walsh to the wings all match gives us some serious running & clearance power that may be the edge we need to topple them. Whilst I never thought I'd say it but McGovern to the forwardline makes us less predictable too.

I like the Saad to the wing idea  so he is in the play more and being used as a weapon. Boyd can come in and play in his spot down back.Dont mind Walsh on the wing either, would give Sidebottom and J Daicos something to think about and change how Collingwood operate. Id use Kennedy down forward in a leadup role and try and leave Harry one out....presuming Moore will get Charlie and Id let let Charlie work up the ground more like Cameron of Geelong does.
