AFL Rd 11 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[Gointocarlton]

Hope JSOS is the sub tonight. His last couple of weeks haven't been great but doubt there's many others who bust a gut like he does. Against the Dogs I think it was, took a couple of great contested marks in the backline early. He's a strong overhead mark for his size and if his kicking for goal was better, we'd be talking about him in a different light. Chases and tackles hard....sometimes the little things that go unnoticed. He's been asked to ruck undersized a lot in the last couple of seasons and without wanting to go down the whole ruck debate here, IMO that has worked against him. Personally, I'd rather have him as a permanent forward rather than the 3 smalls playing at the same time.

Surfie I get all that, but even as a permanent fwd, he just doesn't hit the score board hard enough IMO. Sure does all the hard stuff but scoring? Not enough to warrant a spot in the fwd line.
