AFL Rd 18 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Gointocarlton]

This is the hardest challenge not even considering just the midfield. To stay within 3 goals by the final siren is a huge result. I will be happy if we stay close to 2 or 3 goals behind at the end of the game. Might fall 4 or 5 goals short. Either way, we need the experience against a real contender. A side that is a bench mark. If you make the top 8, you come up against sides like Port each week. Surely it must be character building your club needs. To learn from. This is where Voss can use his past experience. Am I wrong?

Agree. I think we can make it hard for them and make it a close game IF we bring the intensity and pressure of the last 3 weeks. Forget who we played, the attitude, effort and selflessness in our last three games is what teams like PA and Coll bring every single week. If we can at a minimum replicate it against these contending teams, Ill be happy. Of course a win would make me ecstatic.
