AFL Rd 11 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[Baggers]

There are a few names that are royalty at Princes Park and the thought of SOJ running around in other colours doesn't thrill me what so ever. I'm still getting over Jezza and more recently Waite leaving us.
SOJ plays his best ball as the 3rd tall in the fwd line. And our fwd line operates better when he is there because he has to attract a decent backman. Running him around as a ruckman does his game no benefit.

For sure, running him around in the ruck was a terrible mistake. But even as a 3rd tall, he's struggled. We desperately need leg speed, everywhere... and Jack is just too slow and as an inside mid, you can get away with being slow, but nowhere else. He's probably our slowest forward, which gives his opponent the opportunity to run off him and create a forward entry.
