AFL Rd 16 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[LP]

Reeves is one year older, has only been playing for three years@30 games...TDK has been in the system for 5 seasons@50 games.
Hawks mids are in main the coalface type....Newcombe, McDonald, Worpel, Maginness, Ward along with the quicker Butler, Day, Moore.....they contest and chase well so our mids need to provide effort for 4 quarters and be physical.

In the ruck it'll be kiddies versus kiddies if TDK plays, it's far worse if TDK doesn't play because it's a ruck versus next to nothing!

Personally, I doubt the ruck will make much difference this game, because TDK solo won't have the freedom and won't be able to exercise that freedom even if we can orchestrate it, so if he plays I expect game impact to be a nil all draw.

We need the likes of Cunningham and Fogarty and other fringe players beating up on the kiddies, they need to treat this weekend like a feast laid on for beggars! If our fringe players have average games against the Dawks kiddies, then they deserve their papers to be stamped!
