AFL Rd 10 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[ElwoodBlues1]

If we get Fog back, the loss of Cotters won’t be critical.  If Fog’s not right, the next man up would be Binns.  He isn’t far off Cotters in running power but his lack of experience and defensive intensity could be exploited.

Williams does his best work with the ball in hand and has produced moments of brilliance running off halfback.  He is vulnerable when one out and closer to goal, particularly early in games when umpires are more likely to pluck frees.  If our defence is well set up, Williams isn’t as vulnerable and can hurt the opposition with his run and creativity.

I guess that it boils down to whether we value rebounds from defence over stifling the opposition forwards.

Problem is finding a suitable opponent too where you can afford to risk him defensively hoping to gain an advantage with his rebound work.
I'm not seeing any suitable opponents from their forward group..
